In reply to the discussion: Why Can't DOJ Indict John Eastman and Jeffrey Clark [View all]Jersey Devil
(9,876 posts)18. Co-conspirators have not been indicted due to DOJ (Jack Smith) strategy
If all the co-ccnspirators were indicted along with Trump then the cases brought by DOJ would each have many more defendants, which would, in turn, prolong the tiime it would take to get to a trial, almost assuring the cases would not be tried until after the election. Smith chose to keep it simple with only one defendant (Trump) for speed.
There is nothing (except statutes of limitations) that would prevent Smith from indicting them once the Trump trials take place, which hopefully may be done.
