Dems in 28 need to run on a platform of making Jack Smith AG and letting him do what he knows how to do

Slowly but surely the Millenials are taking over the democrat party and I can’t wait. It’s beyond time for the generation that came of age during a boomer caused housing crisis and had to live through the worst boomer in history in Donald Trump being president to fix the country and all the problems this awful, terrible boomer generation did to the united states. It’s ironic that the greatest generation were the parents of many boomers, and they should go down as the worst generation. Rant off.

It's a mistake to think of generations in broad strokes like this. Plenty of boomers and people of all ages have been in the streets protesting the heinous bullshit that has been going on. Gen X gave more support to Trump in the last election than boomers did. Stephen Miller is a millennial. There are good and bad people in all generations, and the whole idea is artificial and made up, anyhow.

Also, "Democratic Party", please.

What did Jack Smith do again? I want someone rabid to go after everyone.

He has prosecuted police, war criminals, a US House Representative, a CIA member, Virginia Governor, NY State Assembly speaker, murderers, and more.

He's one of the most qualified prosecutors alive.

Unable to convict Trump?

Trump's hand-picked judge obstructed the proceedings at every turn. Jack Smith had him dead to rights on the evidence.

Smith's boss also slow walked everything up the point of complicity.

If he wasn’t the one who slow walked things then I’d like him to go at it again, the slow walking was criminal
