The question of the day?

Why is Trump so desperate to stop Jack Smith from releasing the final findings of his investigation?

I’m guessing Trump is worried about what the media will do with the report? Or it’s just that Trump knows that he broke several laws?

But the main question, what in that report that has Trump so worried about especially if he has total immunity? I think it has something that is not covered under his immunity claim?

...few will pay attention to any details now. My only hope is that in 2029 a new Dem administration can pick up and restart the prosecution and haunt him to the grave. Although, with any luck he'll be in the grave sooner than later.

4. He wants to control what historians write about him. He has already said he doesn't need anyone's vote ever again.

He doesn’t care what his supporters think. I believe he is so narcissistic that he does care what historians say about him. Without access to historical documents like the full Mueller report, which he’ll also have destroyed, and Jack Smith’s documentation and reports, historians will be denied the full picture and have to rely on allegations, not evidence.
