The Deep State’s attempt to take down President Donald Trump is so obvious that even CNN admitted Special Counsel Jack Smith is “racing against the clock” to prosecute the Republican frontrunner before the 2024 presidential election.

Elie Honig, CNN’s senior legal analyst, gave a very interesting explanation regarding the motivations behind Smith’s request to the U.S. Supreme Court for an expedited review of Trump’s immunity.

The Post Millennial reports:

“Just look at Jack Smith’s conduct in this case. The motivating principle behind every procedural request he’s made has been speed, has been getting this trial in before the election,” Honig said on CNN.

“Let’s take a couple of examples. The trial date. The average federal conspiracy and fraud trial takes about a year and a half to two years between indictment and trial,” Honig said. “Jack Smith originally requested a trial date for Donald Trump, a far more complex case, five months out. He wanted a January trial. It was set for two months later. So, Donald Trump is being given far less time to prepare.”

“This week, Jack Smith won an argument on immunity in the district court and then went right to the Supreme Court. The only reason you ask the Supreme Court to do that on an expedited basis is if you’re racing against the clock, and Jack Smith clearly is doing that here,” Honig claimed. . . .

“Jack Smith is trying to get this case tried before the election and ...  that is political,” said Honig.

Folks, this shocking admission came from CNN. Ellie Honig is no friend of Trump, and his honesty is eye-opening.

One important principle Honig neglected to mention, though, is that the DOJ is not supposed to take politics into account when pressing charges. Doing so amounts to election interference, which endangers our democracy.

The politicization of the legal system is a problem for Americans, whether they are Democrats or Republicans. The American people deserve better than blatant election interference. Let the people decide who should be the next President – not Deep State bureaucrats.

The ACLJ is also extremely busy this Christmas season in our ongoing legal efforts to fight back against the far Left’s attempt to deny you the right to vote for the candidate of your choice. We’ve won numerous cases, including our most recent win in Michigan representing 15 state GOPs.

In other news, we have an update on our ongoing efforts to protect Pregnancy Resource Centers in America as radical abortionists keep trying to shut down these centers that offer hope and love to struggling parents.

Abortion activists in Illinois tried to shut down Pregnancy Resource Centers (PRCs) in the state, claiming the pro-life centers advertised false services and abused consumer protection laws.

We didn’t file in this particular case, but a judge rightfully blocked the attempt. And now The Wall Street Journal reports that Illinois will stop its lawfare against PRCs – a huge victory for the pro-life movement that will save countless lives.

ACLJ Senior Litigation Counsel Olivia Summers joined our show to discuss the far Left’s attack on PRCs:

We’ve seen [PRCs] in California, Colorado, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois attacked and targeted by this kind of law. And I spoke recently to a group of about 50 pregnancy centers and let them know that we are at the front lines for them. We have their backs, and if they need to contact us because they’re being targeted, we’ll be there to help them immediately.

We are also gearing up for a fight at the Supreme Court to stop President Biden’s unconstitutional expansion of the abortion pill. Two federal courts have already struck down Biden’s attempts. Still, the Biden Administration and the abortion industry rushed to the Supreme Court, demanding these court decisions be overruled. We’ve already filed four briefs in this case and are preparing a critical brief at the Supreme Court.

We can’t fight back against the far Left’s blatant election interference and legal attacks by pro-abortion radicals on PRCs without your help. We are in the middle of our Faith & Freedom Year-End Drive. Donate today, and every dollar you give will be doubled to support our legal efforts.

Today’s Sekulow broadcast analyzed CNN’s admission that Smith’s prosecution timeline is politically motivated. Former Acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell also joined the broadcast to comment on President Biden’s questionable foreign policy.
