Sauce for the gander: Jack Smith gets a special counsel of his very own

Sure, the election is over. But Sen. Tom Cotton would like a few loose ends tied up.

According to the New York Post:

The Office of Special Counsel has launched a formal investigation into Jack Smith, the first official legal probe into his conduct, The Post has learned. Smith is the justice department lawyer who oversaw two criminal investigations into President Donald Trump during the Biden administration, one into Trump’s handling of classified documents, the other as to whether his actions on Jan. 6th, 2021, were an attempt to overturn the 2020 election. Both cases were dismissed. An email reviewed by The Post states The Hatch Act Unit, which enforces a law restricting government employees from engaging in political activities, has begun reviewing the former Special Counsel for the United States Department of Justice. The email was written by Senior Counsel Charles Baldis at OSC. "I appreciate the Office of Special Counsel taking this seriously and launching an investigation into Jack Smith’s conduct. No one is above the law.

Jack Smith’s actions were clearly driven to hurt President Trump’s election, and Smith should be held fully accountable,” said Senate Intelligence Committee chair Sen Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) in a statement to The Post.

Jack Smith is a partisan Democrat who weaponized the law against President Trump to help Dems win. I’ve asked the Office of Special Counsel to investigate his actions that likely violated the law to influence the election. pic.twitter.com/64v6U3Y0wH

— Tom Cotton (@SenTomCotton) July 30, 2025 After all, a lot of us voted for President Trump precisely to stop this kind of lawfare garbage. We had to get Trump elected or it would keep happening, and getting worse. Nobody else in office would have made it their priority.

Yeah I get it, the courts are rigged, but instead of fighting it we just give up? That’s a losing strategy for sure.

You’re too stupid to know when we’re winning and you aren’t helping MAGA one bit. It’s hard to believe a moron like you hasn’t been banned from here yet.

There you go again showing your little temper tantrum like a spoiled baby. You’re the one making ad hominem attacks so I would suspect you should be banned.

You're the big baby and you started it, pally. I just said, I give up on you and have a nice day, and you went off like a squealing little pig.

Like I said before, you don't even realize when we're winning. Sorry it's not happening on your timeline. Now what don't you just take the blue highway? In other words, hit the road Jack.

No, that is not at all what I’m saying. The courts can be biased, and juries can be corrupted, especially in swamps like DC. But the most important thing in bringing cases like these to trial is having all, and I mean all of your ducks in a line. You are talking about powerful people and if you don’t nail them square the first time, you don’t get a second chance.

You want to go off half cocked and file charges. The rats behind all of this crap would love that. The smart course is to find the facts, documents them, have all the information available, and then nail the bastards to the wall.

That’s what I think Bondi and company are doing.

We agree then. I am not suggesting they go in half assed like they did in 2020 election lawsuits with Sidney Powell “Release the Kraken and Giuliani and Mike Lindell. I truly hope that stolen election can get people on RICO charges

Then stop the damn demands for immediate action. If you really want to see these creeps pay for their crimes, it takes time to construct a winning case.
