Jack Smith Owes Us an Explanation
New York Times ^ | Oct. 9, 2024 | Jack Goldsmith

Posted on 10/09/2024 12:51:02 PM PDT by libstripper

Last week a judge unsealed a 165-page legal brief with damaging new revelations about Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

The revelations have been widely discussed and debated — but the timing of the release should receive more scrutiny, because the Department of Justice should not have allowed the information to be disclosed so close to Election Day. This event is the latest of many examples of Biden administration officials paying insufficient public attention to executive branch rules that are designed to ensure that prosecutions are, in appearance and reality, conducted fairly and apolitically.

A real pasting, especially given who Jack Goldsmith is, FTA:

" Jack Goldsmith (@jacklgoldsmith) is a law professor at Harvard, a nonresident senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and a former assistant attorney general. He is a co-author of “After Trump: Reconstructing the Presidency.”

If anyone has trouble with the NYT paywall, here's an article that summarizes the column and links it:

My dear Professor Goldsmith,

Jack Smith’s mission is not to be fair or objective. His mission is to get Trump, one way or another. Policy can change on a dime. Elections be damned. In fact, the more damage, the better. This has nothing to do with justice, fairness or even moral obligations. It is purely and simply ‘politics’........

Sincerely,

Red Badger

With Smith’s original grand theater prosection thrown out of Federal Court - and now that he has come back with a ridiculous re-hash of political charges that is floundering - is the deep-state throwing Jack Smith under the bus to preserve its own reputation?

Yup. Jack Smith is being measured for the role of scapegoat, with post-election shots to soon follow that Smith's unrestrained and misplaced prosecutorial zeal helped Trump claw his way back into the presidency. Jack Smith knows that if nothing else, he is having a do-not-hire sign stapled on his forehead by the Democratic party's academic and legal elites.

Too wimpy to pound the table and yell... drop a pile of BS on the bench.

Sometimes there is an “I’m human test”, that will exclude some.

Simple and easy, works well.

He owes us a refund for prosecuting cases he has no court standing with, having been illegally appointed special prosecutor.

A good explanation from Jack Smith would be a lengthy jail sentence for him.

Even the radical left-wing cult propaganda sheet The New York Times says the timing is suspect. Liberals won't care; they're completely amoral. Power is the ONLY thing that matters to them.

Jerk Smith is the same corrupt prosecutor who went after Bob McDonnell on a legal theory he knew or should have known was bogus.
