Following President Trump's electoral win, reports suggest the DOJ may dismiss criminal prosecutions against him, including those led by Special Counsel Jack Smith. Critics argue this is a calculated move to protect the reputations of key figures involved and distract from the legitimacy of Smith's appointment.
Concerns about the constitutionality of Smith's and former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's appointments have gained traction, particularly after a federal judge ruled against Smith's case. If the 11th Circuit affirms this ruling, it could undermine numerous convictions linked to Mueller's investigation, raising questions about the integrity of the DOJ's actions.

She highlighted that the party must confront the fallout from decades of neoliberal policies that have left many Americans feeling lost.
The Federalist: Voters Decided Democrats Are The Biggest Threat To Democracy
The recent election cycle revealed that many voters perceive the Democratic Party, particularly figures like Kamala Harris, as a significant threat to democracy. Concerns over leftist extremism, including issues related to abortion and LGBTQ policies, were prevalent among voters, with a notable percentage expressing discomfort with the party's direction.
Critics argue that the Democrats' push for policies such as unrestricted abortion and aggressive LGBTQ agendas, alongside their control over media and educational institutions, reflects a broader authoritarian trend. The perception is that these strategies aim to secure one-party rule, undermining democratic principles and free speech.
