I suspect that the reason Jack Smith dropped charges was so that jeopardy would not be attached. I’m not a lawyer but reading his statement read as an indictment against the Justice Department and the federal court system, begging them to either codify into law that Presidents are king or get rid of the rule to not charge sitting Presidents.

And I would be remissed if I didn’t remind everyone that there is nothing in the Constitution saying Trump can’t serve his criminal sentence in a state prison while also serving his term as president.
