So Renato, is Special Counsel Jack Smith finally in the end game of the Marilago case?

Eh, it's complicated.

I'm Renato Mariati.

I'm a former federal prosecutor, a practicing lawyer, and a legal analyst.

And I'm Asha Rengappa.

I teach National Security Law at Yale University.

I'm a former FBI Special Agent and I'm a legal and

national security analyst. And we're here to help you understand topics that

can't be boiled down into a sound bite or a tweak.

Okay, so the scuttle but on the street is.

So the scuttle butt on the street this past week is that Special Counsel

of Jack Smith is ready to indict Trump and this is because Trump his camp leaked a letter that they wrote to

Attorney General Merrick Garland asking for an audience with him to, I guess, make their case on why he shouldn't

be indicted.

And so I think there was, that it was deduced that, I guess, maybe that he somehow received a target letter or otherwise had been informed

that an indictment was imminent and I'm wondering whether you think that's the correct interpretation or if this is another

scyop by Trump because of course we know that in New York he also claimed that he was just about

being died and he really was. So first of all I got to say that letter does not resemble anything I've ever seen in terms of

communications of the prosecutor report.

It's more like a truth, social truth, kind of with letterhead

around it rather than an actual communication. I was surprised it wasn't in

all caps. Yeah, right, there's no exclamation points but yeah it was it was a little bizarre.
