He’s stepping down because he will definitely go to prison if he doesn’t.
His cases—especially the stolen documents case—are 100% fabricated. There has never been a law that prohibited the President from possessing his own documents after leaving office.
Because no branch of government has the constitutional authority to make it a crime.
That’s why the Presidential records act permits indefinite access to the secret documents after leaving office.
If two witnesses link Jack Smith’s fraudulent cases to a foreign enemy (like the International Criminal Court), he will get the death penalty.
No one has ever committed this type of treason before. The death penalty would be basically automatic.
As a legal matter, Jack Smith and Merrick Garland are the ones who stole the secret presidential records.
If they do not go to prison for that—this is still the end of freedom, democracy and law in America.
