President-elect Trump faced charges over his handling of classified documents and his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss, which culminated in the U.S. Capitol attack.
He is making a pragmatic decision that any reasonable lawyer would make.
DOJ policy is to drop a case like this. If he ignored policy then he would be fired by February before the case would even proceed. So no matter what he does, the case is dead and at least he got to write some words down. Basically the same as the three resonable justices on SCOTUS who have no power to do anything beyond write dissenting opinions that might matter sometime in the future.
It sucks, but Republicans have completed their coup from within the US government.
Guesses on what he was threatened with?
He’s dropping them now because its the only move that might revive them when Trump is out. If his old ass lives that long.
