The Special Prosecutor Is Racing Against the Political Clock

Since Jack Smith was appointed special counsel, does it seem as if his department is moving aggressively their subpoenaing former vice president Mike Pence and former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows? I wouldn't call it aggressive, but I would call it mindful of the fact that the presidential election is approaching. There's a general rule in the Department of Justice that you do not want to return indictments so close in time to an election that they could in some way impact that election. In this case, there's a question about whether the former president has a right to invoke executive privilege.
