Former President Donald Trump dropped a wild rant on Monday insisting that all the cases against him “MUST STOP IMMEDIATELY.” Trump cited a section of the Justice Department’s Justice Manual regarding using charges to impact the outcome of an election to claim his cases should be dropped, although several of the cases are not federal.

“ALL POLITICAL PROSECUTIONS OF YOUR FAVORITE PRESIDENT, ME, MUST STOP IMMEDIATELY. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ELECTION, PERHAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY, AND THESE RADICAL LEFT LUNATIC PROSECUTORS AND JUDGES ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE DOING THIS. WHY DIDN’T THEY START THREE YEARS AGO??? BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO INTERFERE WITH THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 2024, THAT’S WHY!” Trump wrote, adding:

According to Section 9-85.500 of the Justice Department’s Justice Manual: “Federal prosecutors and agents may never select the timing of any action, including investigative steps, criminal charges, or statements, for the purpose of affecting any election, or for the purpose of giving an advantage or disadvantage to any candidate or political party.” THIS IS ELECTION INTERFERENCE, AND MUST BE IMMEDIATELY STOPPED. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH ANY FAKE PROSECUTIONS BEFORE THE ELECTION. THIS IS COMMUNISM, AND A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY. OUR COUNTRY WILL NOT STAND FOR IT. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!

Jack Goldsmith, a professor at Harvard Law School, cited Section 9-85.500 in an article last week detailing the risks of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s rush to trial. Smith has been pushing to take his election interference case to trial as soon as possible so that it may be resolved before the summer and not interfere with the general election, a timeline Goldsmith finds highly unlikely given Trump’s appeals to the Supreme Court.
