Special Prosecutor Jack Smith is a loser

No seriously, he always loses

Here are his biggest public corruption cases:

The trial lasted five weeks and focused heavily on McDonnell’s relationship with his wife, putting details of their relationship and private life on public display.[219][220] McDonnell said in a 2017 interview that prosecutors threatened his children to be careful of conversations with their parents lest the children be charged with obstruction of justice.[12

On August 31, 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered that McDonnell remain free pending a decision from that court to hear or not hear the case.[229] On December 8, 2015, the U.S. Solicitor General and others filed a brief with the Supreme Court requesting the court not to hear the case.[230] In January 2016, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case.[231]

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the case on April 27, 2016,[232] and unanimously vacated McDonnell’s conviction on June 27, holding that the trial court’s construction of the statutory term “official act” was too broad, encompassing activities such as setting up meetings, hosting parties and calling Virginia officials to discuss Williams’s business.[10][233]

This sounds similar to Ken Paxton’s case.
