Capt. Ed at Hat Hair, Oh My: Special Counsel to Drop Cases Against Trump. Vicky Taft at PJM, has the Report: Special Counsel to Drop Charges and Leave Before Trump Takes Office. But Before You Go, Jack..., preserve your records. "Garland orchestrated this raid, Biden had to remove executive privilege in order to accomplish it, and FBI Director Chris Wray was all-in — because Orange Man Bad, according to Trump legal adviser Mike Davis."  Dana Loesch, DOJ To Drop Trump Cases. "Jack Smith is in talks with the Biden DOJ to drop the two federal cases against President-Elect Trump." Althouse, cites WaPoo, "[Jack] Smith could proactively withdraw the charges himself, or simply resign..." "... and allow the current leaders of the Justice Department to shutter them. He could continue to pursue the cases for the next two and a half months and essentially force Trump, or his appointees, to pull the plug. Or, with Garland’s blessing, he could release a comprehensive final report detailing the evidence against Trump.... Smith also has more deeply personal concerns to consider. Trump, who has vowed to use the presidency to seek retribution against his adversaries, has repeatedly accused Smith, without any basis, of criminality. Last month, Trump said Smith should be 'thrown out of the country.' And on Wednesday, Trump’s allies signaled quickly that Smith should prepare to face consequences. 'Dear Jack Smith: Lawyer up,' said Mike Davis, a bomb-throwing Trump ally considered to be in the mix to be a top legal adviser in the incoming administration...." From "Trump’s biggest courtroom nemesis is looking for an exit strategy/The special counsel is expected to wind down the federal criminal cases he has spent the past two years building" (WaPo).

Jonathan Turley, The Thrill is Gone: Will the Prosectorial Campaigns Collapse with the Political Campaigns Against Trump? Mark Wright at NRO thinks Biden Should Pardon Trump, "He should then ask New York governor Kathy Hochul to use her authority to pardon Trump for the crimes he was convicted of in New York."  then Trump could pardon the Bidens. Capt Ed comments, "That would be the smart and politic thing to do. Of course, we're talking about Joe Biden here, so ... don't hold your breath. I'm skeptical that Hochul would take advice from Biden at this point anyway -- he's the lamest lame duck in American history and just got his legacy destroyed by his hand-picked successor."
