Suffice it to say, scandal-plagued former President Donald Trump has had a rough few weeks after Garland-appointed DOJ Special Counsel Jack Smith dropped a thundering 37 felony criminal indictment against him in the infamous Mar-a-Lago stolen document investigation.
Smith, on behalf of the Biden DOJ, has been investigating the former president for his role in inciting the January 6th Capitol insurrection, his attempt to overthrow the 2020 presidential election after his loss to Joe Biden, and the infamous stolen Mar-a-Lago document scandal, in which Donald Trump stole classified government documents at the end of his presidency, relocated the material to his Palm Beach compound, where he hid them, lied about his possession of the materials, and repeatedly refused to comply with government requests and subpoenas for their return.
That investigation came to a fever pitch in recent days when the disgraced former president was formally arrested and arraigned on those 37 felonies, all related to obstruction and violations of the Espionage Act, in a Miami court.
But experts are already warning Trump that this is far from over. In fact, Jack Smith is just getting warmed up.

Popular former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner made an early morning appearance on MSNBC this weekend, with host Katie Phang, where they discussed the indictments and the ongoing investigations still being completed by DOJ Special Counsel Jack Smith, crescendoing with Kirschner warning the president that there is much, much more to come.
“We saw information about some of Donald Trump’s mishandling of classified information in the potentially national defense information which gives rise to charges under our nation’s espionage laws,” the former federal prosecutor explained.
“Up in Bedminster, in New Jersey, showing military maps to people from his PAC. He is sharing information about plans for a possible military strike against a foreign country — he’s doing that in New Jersey,” Kirschner said. “What does that tell us? That tells us charges for those crimes could properly brought in federal court in New Jersey.”
Kirschner further explained, “I don’t think Jack Smith is prepared to let go of those crimes because he has already indicted Donald Trump in another jurisdiction in Florida for the crimes that he committed in that state,”before going on to add, “So if I had to bet one dollar, that’s my betting limit, I’m not a high-roller, I would bet a buck that we are going to see a federal indictment in New Jersey.”
