This, it seems to me, is fairly easy to understand.Jack Smith appears poised to nail Trump with 'a series of wire fraud charges': former prosecutorhttps://t.co/vQEjWj784W

According to the Times, "Led by the special counsel Jack Smith, prosecutors are trying to determine whether Mr. Trump and his aides violated federal wire fraud statutes as they raised as much as $250 million through a political action committee by saying they needed the money to fight to reverse election fraud even though they had been told repeatedly that there was no evidence to back up those fraud claims."
The report added, "In the past several months, prosecutors have issued multiple batches of subpoenas in a wide-ranging effort to understand Save America, which was set up shortly after the election as Mr. Trump’s main fund-raising entity."
Asked where Smith and his investigators are headed, Kirschner replied, "Wire fraud is the stock and trade of the federal prosecutors. If you use the wires, it's an old-time term, it used to mean the TV, the radio, the telephone -- now it's the internet -- as part of a scheme to defraud others out of their money."
Not unlike the MAL documents case. Trump still says he declassified everything, but the law disagrees. He fought the law and the law won is easy to grasp, too. Also easy to understand is that those documents weren’t his to keep. So that won’t go far outside the courthouse; and neither will defrauding people of their money.
Does this mean Trump can’t win in 2024? It means you can’t leave these investigations out of any calculation of his chances. They certainly won’t increase his popularity, nor his approval.
