This WaPo editorial presents a misleading revisionist history of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s criminal cases against Trump.
Then it has the gall to compare that to Trump’s overt targeting of his perceived enemies.

ABC and Disney bent the knee again. First $16M to Trump over Stephanopoulos, now firing Kimmel at his command. Timothy Snyder, in On Tyranny, warned: “do not obey in advance.” Trump signaled in July he wanted Kimmel fired. This is authoritarian rule. Boycott ABC and Disney for eternity.
