EXCLUSIVE: Previous Target of DOJ’s Trump Legal Hit Squad Alleges Witness Payoff Scheme

Justice Department Special Counsel Jack Smith is overseeing the current investigation into and indictment of Donald Trump. But as USA Today reported, Smith “built [his] reputation” in his previous role overseeing the prosecution of former Rep. Rick Renzi (R-Ariz.). And according to Renzi himself, in exclusive comments to PJ Media, there’s evidence tying Smith to illegal wiretaps, jury influencing, payoffs for false testimony, and other highly questionable behavior. The newly published allegations led Donald Trump to call Smith “deranged.”

Renzi was convicted on bribery and extortion charges, to which he pleaded “not guilty,” and was later given a full presidential pardon by Trump. While a 2019 complaint and request for investigation filed on Renzi’s behalf by respected legal firm Mayer Brown claim to provide evidence of prosecutorial misconduct, current Trump prosecutors Jack Smith and David Harbach were more directly implicated in the misconduct allegations—including a reported government payoff offer—than previously revealed.

The alleged prosecutorial misconduct of Smith and his team, both from the DOJ and FBI, included illegal wiretaps, concealment of exculpatory evidence and impeachment evidence, destruction of evidence, and introduction of false testimony before and during Renzi’s trial. “The prosecutorial misconduct of Jack Smith and his lead prosecutor in my case, David Harbach, is what led to the presidential pardon” Trump gave him, the former congressman told PJ Media. He explained how he believes Smith and Harbach “tainted” his jury pool while working to exclude pro-life jurors since Renzi is a pro-life father of twelve.

There’s evidence tying Smith to illegal wiretaps, jury influencing, payoffs for false testimony.

The Bolsheviks (democrats) say no one is above the law.

They have corrupted the justice system to keep selves from prison.
Biden’s in cross hairs we shall see.

Bookie not taking bets

I heard Barnes posit that this whole case is so corrupt that sometime next summer Biden will issue a blanket pardon for himself, Trump, H Clinton, and Pence, basically saying “It was all a big mistake etc.” and attempting to look magnanimous as a result. This might be what happens.

Watching America’s Voice.. China is in Cuba.. a base in Cuba. Is that what biden was paid millions for? Is there ever going to be a biden held responsible!!!!!!!
He is guilty of treason while they go after Trump for documents he had a right to. and then tell him he can’t tell anyone how corrupt they are.
This angers me.. does it the rest of American’s?

JFKenedy almost went to war over Russia in Cuba.. biden overlooks the balloon and china not far off our coast.

Seems to me that since President Trump pardoned Smith's previous victim, Smith could be out for some vengeance here. Sounds like a conflict of interest, to me.
