Critics wrongly assert that special counsel Jack Smith acted aggressively against Trump, despite adherence to DOJ policy regarding the timing of prosecutorial actions during elections.
The DOJ's policies, including the reminder issued by Attorney General Merrick Garland, are designed to ensure prosecutorial integrity without politicizing the timing of enforcement actions.
Although some argue that the 60-day rule imposes excessive caution, it serves as essential guidance for prosecutors to maintain the DOJ's credibility during elections.
Critics like Jack Goldsmith and Elie Honig misinterpret DOJ norms, suggesting undue influence when, in reality, Jack Smith continued to align with established prosecutorial practices.
