One must wonder if Special Counsel Jack Smith checks under his bed every night to make sure a large man wearing an oversized blue suit, long red tie, and MAGA hat isn’t there.
Smith, the public has been assured, is a nerves-of-steel prosecutor who has taken on some of the world’s most dangerous criminals during his time at the U.S. Department of Justice and The Hague. Following Smith’s appointment in November 2022, one former colleague swooned to the New York Times how Smith “has a way about him of projecting calm” and that “people look to him for steady guidance.”
But his recent conduct suggests Smith might be losing his grip. Tasked with supervising both criminal investigations into Donald Trump—the events of January 6 and possession of alleged classified material—Smith continues to make outlandish allegations about the former president in court motions. These claims include warnings that Trump is a flight risk, is jeopardizing the safety of government officials and poisoning the D.C. jury pool with his social media posts, and “could precipitate violence” if sealed search warrants were disclosed to him.

In doing so, Smith told the court that Trump might flee the country if he was informed about the Twitter warrant—a claim he later stated was made in “error.” But it wasn’t a mistake. The flight risk concern was discussed several times during a sealed hearing in February between Judge Beryl Howell and both parties, as I reported here.

“the defendant’s recent extrajudicial statements are intended to undermine public confidence in an institution - the judicial system”
No, Jack, you’re doing that all by yourself.
Jack Smith and Andrew Weismann should really not be allowed to practice law. These guys are the horseman of law fare.
For example, making what, at most, was a campaign finance violation into a bribery conviction to put the Governor of VA and his wife in jail. Smith knew damn well it would likely be overturned, but he also knew that a DC Jury would convict a Republican without a moment of hesitation. Even better, by the time his BS would be overturned, enough jail time could be served to last a lifetime.
Guilt? The law? Who cares?!!? The right venue makes anything a crime for the political opposition and process makes sure a sentence will be served even in the face of innocence.
Russian Collusion!?! Who cares, start the investigation, a crime will emerge and a DC Jury will stamp it.
This is sick and the center of it all is the DC District. ONE Court is now serving as a Neo Committee of Public Safety with Jack Smith and Andrew Weisman doing their best Robespierre.
2022, one former colleague swooned to the New York Times how Smith “has a way about him of projecting calm” and that “people look to him for steady guidance.”
Oh, jeez. Where’s the barf alert? Get a room.
