Jack Smith preemptively winding down his investigation into Donald Trump’s attempted autogolpe is, predictably, not enough for Trump’s authoritarian supporters:

Even as Jack Smith moved to wind down his federal election interference case against Donald Trump on Friday, House Republicans took an initial step toward investigating the special counsel, setting up an early test of how the president-elect’s calls for retribution will play out.

House judiciary chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and House administration oversight subcommittee chairman Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.) asked Smith’s office to preserve all records of the historic classified document and election interference probes, a routine first step in congressional inquiries, law enforcement investigations and litigation. Elon Musk, the X owner who spent more than $100 million boosting Trump’s campaign, responded to the House Republicans’ letter by posting, “Jack Smith’s abuse of the justice system cannot go unpunished.”

Obviously, the Trump Supreme Court was never going to allow Trump to be held accountable anyway, but Trump and his cronies are not going to settle for mere immunity — even the effort to uphold the law against powerful Republicans needs to be disincentivized.
