Jack Smith Could Face “Severe Consequences” for His Fruitless, Year-Long Legal Crusade Against Trump

Special counsel Jack Smith may not be in the clear, even after dropping all charges against President-elect Donald Trump.

Smith’s decision to dismiss his cases against Trump on Monday reignited calls for an investigation into his efforts. While it’s unclear if probing Smith is high enough on Trump’s priority list to translate talk into action, some aren’t ready to simply brush Smith’s months-long pursuit aside now that the threat is gone.

Investigating the federal prosecutions against Trump is important “because of the huge cost and ultimate failure,” former federal prosecutor Andrew Cherkasky told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“Whether that yields findings of criminality is unlikely. However, I think it will find that Smith’s novel legal approach was fraught with issues that should have led a reasonable prosecutor to decline prosecution,” Cherkasky told the DCNF. “Smith is already leaving his special counsel post, but I anticipate some of the lawyers working under him will also be forced out of the [Department of Justice] DOJ for engaging in a legally unsound prosecution.”

Smith’s two Trump prosecutions cost taxpayers upwards of $50 million, according to DOJ reports.

“There is a lot of evidence that the congressional Jan. 6 committee intentionally avoided evidence beneficial to Trump’s position, and if Smith did the same, his conduct could be grounds for more severe consequences,” Cherkasky noted.

He should face severe consequences, preferably serious prison time.

Malicious prosecutions should always be prosecuted when there is evidence of malfeasance.

Smith is the useful idiot. The investigation needs to focus on the political operatives that created the lies and disinformation leading to all this.

Garland, chaney, pencil neck schiff et al need to be held accountable.

None of the consequences he’ll possibly face come close to the consequences I’d like to see him face. Hint Vlad Teppes

I think it was more like a Jihad.

I had never before heard the term “Lawfare” until the biden/harris administration. Like any other corrupt behavior, it will continue if unpunished. Using a lead prosecutor as an example is a good place to start and Jack Smith has the perfect face for it. Justice Arthur F. Engoron should be included.

He won’t face anything. He will claim he was never confirmed and therefore not subject to any oversight.

I believe it’s not only fair but proper for Trumps New DOJ to look into everyone that came after him with their bogus lawfare cases. Why?, because NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW and if they didn’t do anything wrong, they have nothing to worry about.

Jack’s flying monkeys jumbled the docs at Mar a Lago like a stir fry. Tainted evidence.

Trump should at least sue for legal fees.

Let’s not pretend the female of the PACK was any better.

Letisia James WAS FAR WORSE...SHE ADMITTED SHE WAS ABUSING ONE PERSON WITH THREATS OF JAIL.
