To the editor: Harry Litman didn’t reply an important query in his article about the need for Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith to file a last report on the 2 federal instances about Jan. 6 and labeled paperwork.
Public last studies, like former particular counsel Robert Mueller’s, have many blacked-out pages, redacting important elements of an important info. Smith could have filed his briefs to dismiss the instances now to permit the instances to be introduced up once more — however that can by no means occur, not in President-elect Donald Trump’s lifetime.
The true query Litman or others ought to reply: How can all of the detailed info Smith gathered be saved for historians?
All of the FBI interview movies, audio and transcripts, the grand jury testimony, particulars of the moved paperwork, all of the plans and folks concerned within the elector schemes on the state degree — this documentation have to be saved someplace protected from Trump in order that the reality will probably be identified sooner or later. Is there such a spot?

To the editor: Smith determined to not proceed within the prosecution of Trump not as a result of Trump is harmless, however as a result of now we have a Supreme Courtroom and Justice Division which have thumbed their noses on the Structure.
The machinations of the conservative courtroom positioned immunity on the top of this convicted felon — disgrace.
A weak Atty. Gen. Merrick Garland allowed additional eroding of the rule of regulation — disgrace.
The one method to semi-redeem this outrageous thwarting of justice is to let the general public learn the case that Smith has created.
