Ex-Prosecutor Explains Why Donald Trumps Latest Freak-Out Is A Gift For Jack Smith

Former U.S. Army prosecutor Glenn Kirschner  on Thursday picked apart what he believes is Donald Trump s latest tacit admission of guilt.

Earlier in the day, the former president and Republican 2024 front-runner ranted in all-caps on his Truth Social platform that he should be granted total immunity if acts he committed when in the White House did break the law.

Trump railed:

A president of the United States must have full immunity, without which it would be impossible for him/her to properly function. Any mistake, even if well intended, would be met with almost certain indictment by the opposing party at term end. Even events that cross the line must fall under total immunity, or it will be years of trauma trying to determine good from bad.

If Donald Trump is posting something, theres a good chance hes confessing to something, said Kirschner, who called the rant a tacit admission or implied admission of guilt from the four-times-indicted Trump.

But you really dont have to read between the lines, Kirschner continued on his Justice Matters podcast. This is Donald Trump demanding immunity for himself, since when he is ever concerned about what happens to others, other presidents for example. He wants immunity to himself even when events cross the line.

The post is probably not as directly incriminating as some other admissions from Trump, said Kirschner, but added it aint half bad.

If I were a prosecutor, I would take a government exhibit sticker, go ahead and slap it on Donald Trumps latest admission, and maybe keep it in my back pocket, he explained.

Id be prepared to introduce it into evidence at one or more of Donald Trumps criminal trials, not that [special counsel] Jack Smith needs it, he added. Smith doesnt really need any more confessions from Trump, any more incriminating statements because he has more than enough, he explained.

Trump will likely continue to confess and Smiths team will be cataloging every word, every sentence, every post, because Donald Trump cant help himself, said Kirschner. Smiths team will then be able to pick and choose the most relevant evidence to present to the juries in the cases he is bringing against Trump.
