'Jack Smith is just getting warmed up': Former federal prosecutor points to red flags for Trump
Reacting to reports that special counsel Jack Smith may swamp Donald Trump with dozens more indictments, former prosecutor Glenn Kirschner suggested to an MSNBC host that the former president better gird his loins for what is coming.
Appearing on "The Saturday Show" with host Jonathan Capehart, Kirschner first stated that, if Trump aide Susie Wiles answer the special counsel's questions about the former president retaining classified documents and sharing them with her, that would put Trump in the "danger zone."
"Glenn, you are very good at reading the tea leaves," host Capehart began. "So, the New York Times is reporting that subpoenas are still going out in Jack Smith's documents case, subpoenas from the Miami grand jury —the grand jury that indicted Donald Trump. What do you make of this?"
"What I make of this is that Jack Smith is just getting warmed up," Kirschner shot back. "It seems like he is intent on investigating all of the potential crimes, not only of Donald, Trump but anybody else down at Mar-a-Lago, anybody else in Florida who may have been involved in assisting, facilitating, or who may be covering, up who may be an accessory after the fact to Donald Trump's crimes."
"In the big investigations, Jonathan, it is pretty usual that we will ask the grand jury to vote out one indictment, perhaps one or two defendants, and a limited number of charges, but we will continue to investigate in the grand jury any other crimes about which we have information, and then ask the grand jury to return a subsequent, or what we call a superseding indictment," he added. "That can add either additional charges against the defendants who are already charged, or it can add additional defendants. It can also broaden the conspiracy to bring more conspirators in, so, it feels like Jack Smith still has a good bit of investigating to go."
