CBS’s January 6 correspondent Scott MacFarlane appears crestfallen in admitting Jack Smith’s January 6 case against Trump “is dying with a whimper”: “The historic case against Donald Trump for allegations he tried to conspire to overturn an election and the ties to that horrific attack on the Capitol on January 6, that case is dying with a whimper today. A six-page, narrow filing from special counsel saying can’t charge a president or try a president for a crime when he is the president. In the words of Jack Smith, it’s an undue burden on a future President Trump to have this criminal prosecution. What’s more — what’s particularly noteworthy in the filing, Nancy, is Jack Smith says we can’t even hold it in advance until 2029, the end of his second and final term, that’s too much of a burden on a president too. This case must be dismissed, Jack Smith argues. No doubt Donald Trump’s team will agree to the dismissal. It goes back to the D.C. federal judge who has navigated the case for 16 months, Tanya Chutkan, to decide whether to accept the dismissal. There’s no indication in any of the case so far she would do anything but follow what the prosecutors recommend.”

Transcript Highlights

The following is transcribed from the video audio:

• I wrote over a year ago that there was a good chance Jack Smith would never see the inside of a courtroom for a trial in this case
• It made this election the largest effective jury verdict in history by re-electing Donald Trump
• The special counsel found himself at odds with his own department’s long-standing policy against the prosecution of a sitting president
• But Smith did not go quietly into that night
• I expected he did get a lot of different opinions hoping for the right one, but the OLC, this office that handles such questions, has long taken this position
• So it would be doubtful that they would change it here
• But, you know, Smith had a sort of gratuitous end to his term
• You know, he pushed not only for a trial before the election, and he pushed for months for that, but he also released damaging information before the election, something that many people saw as an effort to influence the election
• Smith knew that if Trump won, he was out of a job
• And this release of the information was entirely unnecessary
