Critique of Legal Procedures in Trump's Case

The recent critique of special counsel Jack Smith's brief in the Trump election interference case has sparked significant discussion. Critics argue that even if Smith allegedly bent the rules, such actions could be justified by the perceived necessity of countering Trump's influence on democracy.
