The years add up. He’s been involved with the Feds since 1999
It’s not not just the 20 years. He’s not a the minimum retirement age either. Which is age 57 or older depending on years of service.
I don’t know why you are defending him. Biden instructed him to file charges 3 days after trump announced he’s running for election again. He could have filed way before
Then after the Supreme Court deciding on presidential immunity was handed down. He still
Didn’t want to pause the prosecution. Instead re filed it in Sept weeks before the election. You don’t have any issues with this over zealous approach?
Now all of the sudden he wants to wind down the prosecution ? Makes zero sense. Why go all
In. And now withdraw? Don’t you understand?
The prudent thing was not to re file in Sept and “pause “.
Anyone who doesn’t see this is once again out of touch of with his aggressive targeting behavior.
I’d have given him a benefit of the doubt had he paused or delay another filing but he went ahead and re filed like someone who’s out to get trump weeks before. Even legal experts said he shouldn’t have re filed it in September It’s gross misconduct. Yet now he wants to back away? He’s done. Check mate.
At least the manhattan DA and the Manhattan judge knew the scoreboard and didn’t dare try to sentence trump. And they had the most slam dunk to sentence trump because the conviction already took place.
I’m not defending him. I’m saying your argument that he’s hanging on for a pension is ludicrous. He’s a hard charger. He’s not the kind of guy looking to retire any time soon.
At least half of the final report could be made public as soon as Tuesday—unless Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon blocks it.

“KEY FACTS
Smith intends to resign ahead of Trump’s presidency, The New York Times first
reported Wednesday, after reports
suggestedthe special counsel and Justice Department were planning to follow longstanding DOJ precedent to not prosecute sitting presidents and wind down their prosecutions against Trump as a result.
The special counsel is expected to draft a final report before he leaves, according to the Times and
NBC News, in accordance with federal policy
requiring special counsels to “provide the Attorney General with a confidential report explaining the prosecution or declination decisions reached by the Special Counsel”—meaning why Smith decided to indict Trump on the charges he brought, and why he decided against any possible additional charges that were under consideration.
Smith’s report will summarize his two investigations into Trump, one for the ex-president’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election and one for Trump’s alleged withholding of White House documents and alleged obstruction against the government’s investigation into them.
It’s unclear how much new information the report will include, given that much of Smith’s evidence against Trump has already been made public through court filings, and the Times notes the time crunch means it could be much shorter than other recent special counsel reports, like Robert Hur’s report on President Joe Biden’s retention of White House documents.“
