He predicted that Trump \u2064would likely repeat tactics used \u2064in 2020 to dispute the results, describing it\u2062 as a dangerous precedent, especially given the \u200devents surrounding the \u200bJanuary 6 insurrection.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Schiff addressed the electoral landscape, stating that Vice\u200c President \u2063Kamala Harris could still secure a \u2064significant victory over Trump, despite the race being \u2063tight. \u200cHe also noted\u200d the recent unsealing of key legal filings related to Trump\u2019s conduct on January 6, highlighting the timing as pertinent \u200cas the election approaches.

Ahead of the election next month, the former president has been in several legal battles while on the campaign trail, which Schiff referenced when predicting Trump&rsquo;s potential objection to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2024-elections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>2024 election<\/a> results.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;He has more reason to contest it than he did before, not because of any flaw in the election, but because Donald Trump believes, and perhaps with reason, that if he doesn&rsquo;t succeed at the ballot box, he may be going to jail,&rdquo; Schiff said on NBC&rsquo;s <em>Meet the Press<\/em>. &ldquo;So he&rsquo;s going to challenge the results, and we saw tragically what happened when he did that four years earlier.

Schiff argued the timing of this filing&rsquo;s unsealing was appropriate about a month ahead of the 2024 election, as the Supreme Court dragged its feet on deciding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/opinion\/3066424\/supreme-court-grants-trump-a-malignant-degree-of-immunity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>whether former presidents have any immunity<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Schiff was then pushed on why he supports the timing of Smith&rsquo;s filing getting unsealed when he was previously critical of FBI Director James Comey for reopening the investigation into presidential candidate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/hillary-clinton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Hillary Clinton&rsquo;s<\/a> emails shortly before the 2016 election. The California congressman defended his stance, as Comey &ldquo;unilaterally&rdquo; deciding to investigate Clinton was &ldquo;a very different circumstance&rdquo; compared to Smith&rsquo;s filing getting unsealed.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Legal analyst Jonathan Turley cautioned that <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/opinion\/campaign\/4917230-justice-department-october-surprise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>the timing of this filing could &ldquo;backfire&rdquo;<\/a> on the case&rsquo;s prosecutors. He also said Smith&rsquo;s briefing was an attempt to make &ldquo;his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/smiths-lawfare-against-trump-designed-to-generate-headlines\/\" title=\"Smith&#039;s Lawfare Against Trump Designed To Generate Headlines\">closing election argument<\/a> to voters because he knows that the 2024 election will be the largest jury verdict in history.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Trump argued on Thursday that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3175765\/trump-says-supreme-court-jan-6-obstruction-ruling-should-topple-federal-case\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>the federal charges related to his alleged efforts to interfere with the 2020 election should be dismissed<\/a>, citing the Supreme Court&rsquo;s ruling on Jan. 6 rioter Joseph Fischer.
