Smith left the Department of Justice on January 10 but not before pushing to release a bogus report and misleading the courts about the report's contents in the process.
In a footnote contained in a motion last week, the Department of Justice disclosed that Special Counsel Jack Smith officially resigned on January 10. Smith had announced his plans to leave the DOJ a few days after Donald Trump won the presidential election.
But it appears Smith, the losingest prosecutor in DOJ history, pulled one more stunt on his way out the door: sending an unnecessary and one-sided “report” on his two failed prosecutions of the incoming president to Attorney General Merrick Garland.
The president’s lawyers had learned of the report through media coverage. When they confronted Smith’s office, prosecutors originally agreed to let the attorneys view the draft in Washington over the December holidays, a proposal rejected by the president’s team. The attorneys then viewed the document during the first week of January and immediately sent a letter to Garland detailing their objections to the report’s release. (I explained here.)
The report consists of two volumes. Volume One, according to the DOJ, covers the January 6-related indictment of President Trump in Washington and Volume Two addresses the so-called classified documents case in Florida. After Trump’s victory, Smith moved to drop both cases.
But Smith did not drop the case against Trump’s two co-defendants in the documents case, Waltine Nauta, a longtime personal aide, and Carlos De Olivera. The men were charged in 2023 on the same indictment as Trump; one count accuses the three of “conspiring” to obstruct the investigation.

In response to an order by Judge Cannon, the DOJ today admitted the J6 volume of the draft report contains references to the classified documents case. This contradicts what DOJ told the courts last week.
One more stunt, one more lie.
this f****** thinks he is untouchable.
Is he?
No one is.
Since he was illegally hired can he be forced to return his salary for the last few years?
I think Kash Patel and Pam Bondi are serious about going after the corruption in the FBI/DOJ. It will be interesting to see how much information has been destroyed before they take over as FBI Director and AG. Although he may think so, Jack Smith is not “above the law”. They seriously thought they had destroyed Trump so no one could review what they have done. I bet they were a bit sloppy in documentation and also destruction of proof of their conspiracies against Trump. Of course, they still have ten days to finish the job.
On that note, there is this:
“Guess Who Is in Charge of Safety at the Inauguration?”

Trump is. And thank God!
The reason is they don’t actually have anything on President Trump beyond politics.
There are some who say that Pam Bondi hates criminals.
On would suppose that we’ll find out.
Get the low level creeps first, then work up...just like the mob.
I hope Bondi and Patel have good security. The FIB and ATF have a habit of eliminating enemies to the organization.
At the very least each can expect to be harassed, followed, and a few no knock raids with their dog being shot for good measure.
