I agree the timing of the Smith indictments of Trump was a product of Garland dithering and Smith overcharging, not a conscious effort to interfere with the election, but Smith's single-minded, corner-cutting push to try his cases before the election was designed to interfere with the election. He was even willing to ditch the DOJ diktat that prosecutions should not be pursued in the months before an election if they could impact the election. Jim Dueholm
