As an attorney, Jack Smith's move today was expected.
You may not like it. I don't like it. But, it doesn't change the fact that a sitting President cannot be criminally prosecuted, and there is zero chance the case would have been done before inauguration day.

A 5-step strategy I’ve found to be effective when emailing representatives:
Issues to email about:
1. Confirmation hearings
2. Adding ERA to Constitution
3. Release Gaetz Report
4. H. 9495 - Vote No (11/20)
5. S. 4973 - No Kings Act
