There have been rumors that Jack Smith has something up his sleeve since he presented an argument about Trumpās claim of immunity. In it, he listed āhypotheticalā crimes that could be committed where immunity couldnāt apply. Which is odd. Accepting a bribe, ordering an FBI director to fake evidence against a political foe, ordering the military to murder critics, and even selling nuclear secrets to a foreign enemyāthese are the particular and peculiar crimes that prosecutors say Trump could get away with if he succeeds in arguing that presidential immunity.
Former senior DoJ officials say the former president aggressively prodded his attorneys general to go after his enemies, protect his friends and his interests, and these moves succeeded with alarming results until Trumpās last few months in office.

Ordering the FBI to go after political opponents and fake evidence? That sounds really far fetched I donāt know ifā¦
The rogue department: how the Trump DoJ trashed legal and political norms
Trump says he would weaponise DOJ and FBI against political enemies
Oh okay yeah that sounds pretty plausible
Yes, this is certainly the first time the fbi has been used as a political weapon.
The first time someone could face consequences for it, for sure
