South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham has sent an ominous message to special counsel Jack Smith as Donald Trump was on the precipice of being announced as the winner of the 2024 election.

Early on Wednesday morning, mere moments before Trump took the stage in West Palm Beach, Florida, to give his victory speech, Graham posted a note on X “to Jack Smith and your team”.


“It is time to look forward to a new chapter in your legal careers as these politically motivated charges against President Trump hit a wall,” Graham wrote.

It is more than a warning. I am sure that with the help of Graham and other Repugs, the first thing Trump will do Jan 20 is to pardon himself--then fire Jack Smith.

This election was all about Trumps self-preservation--and we will see the dreaded results come Jan 20.
