Looks like Special Counsel Jack Smith doesn’t want to be fired by President Donald Trump so he’s stepping down.

His handling of both the 2020 election interference and classified documents cases has run out of steam.

With the looming threat of hearing “You’re fired!” Smith seems to be wrapping up his work and backing his bags.

But President Trump’s lawyer Alina Habba has something to say about it first.

She points out that he can’t just quit and get away with what he’s done.

WOAH

Trump’s Lawyer Alina Habba delivers stern warning to Jack Smith:

Fox News reports:

Justice Department Special Counsel Jack Smith is expected to resign before President-elect Trump is inaugurated in January, the New York Times reported, citing sources familiar with the matter.

Smith is aiming to bring to an end his cases against Trump and step down before the new president takes office as a way to get ahead of the Republican’s promise to fire him “within two seconds.”

Trump has pointed to a Supreme Court immunity ruling from this summer that broadened the criteria for official presidential conduct ineligible for prosecution even after a president is no longer in office.

Smith has been evaluating how to wind down both the 2020 election interference case and the separate classified documents case before Trump takes office, Fox News reported last week.

Longstanding Justice Department policy says sitting presidents cannot be prosecuted while in office.

Smith on Friday filed a motion to vacate all deadlines in the 2020 election interference case against Trump in Washington, D.C., a widely expected move, but one that stops short of dropping the case against him completely. He said Friday that his team plans to give an updated report on the official status of the case against Trump on Dec. 2.

Smith is required under DOJ regulations to submit a report of his findings and an explanation of the charges the prosecutor considered and ultimately filed – even though neither case made it to trial.
