Special counsel Jack Smith resigned from the Department of Justice following the completion of his cases against President-elect Donald Trump.
Smith resigned on Friday, according to a court filing that was submitted Saturday.
Officials at the DOJ urged U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon not to extend the court order issued by her to block Smith's final report, according to Politico.
The two cases that Smith oversaw were the so-called classified documents case and the federal election interference case.
WAY too late.
Why wasn’t he fired [or locked up] for being an unConstitutional court officer?
Just remember Jackie boy, you can run but you can’t hide. You will be called to account for all these duplicitous actions you and your lackeys have committed, and justice will be served.
I hope he has his passport and a one way ticket to a non extradition country.
Wait, what am I saying??? Stay Jack. It’s all good.
Next stop prison
Investigate, if he’s guilty, lock him up.
Republicans could have cut off his funding long ago.
Hope he has a good lawyer he’s gonna need one
Epoch Times:
Special counsel Jack Smith has resigned from the Department of Justice (DOJ), prosecutors revealed in a court filing, with the announcement marking an end to Smith’s role spearheading two investigations into President-elect Donald Trump.
“The Special Counsel completed his work and submitted his final confidential report on January 7, 2025, and separated from the Department on January 10,” Brian Boynton, principal deputy assistant attorney general, wrote in a document filed on Jan. 11 at the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
Smith was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate Trump in two separate cases—one charging him with election-related crimes and another accusing him of illegally retaining classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home after he concluded his first term at the White House. Both cases were challenged over the legitimacy of Smith’s appointment.
By leaving office, Smith will avoid the president-elect’s pledge to fire him “within two seconds” of Trump taking the oath of office on Jan. 20, 2025. Trump has denied wrongdoing in the cases led by Smith and has repeatedly characterized the prosecutions as politically motivated.
After Trump won the election in November, Smith dropped the charges against Trump in both cases.
“The (Justice) Department’s position is that the Constitution requires that this case be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated,” Smith wrote of the election subversion case in a Nov. 25 filing with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. “This outcome is not based on the merits or strength of the case against the defendant.”
The Hunters will soon become the Hunted.
I guess he has something to hide. FOAD POS
I’m wondering if he’s planning on running for a country that doesn’t have an extradition treaty with the US?
yep.
I’m usually all for just moving forward and rebuilding the country.
But not when treason was committed left and right.
Gotta pay.
“Smith was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland....”
The Meritless Garland needs to be Gitmo’d for his unConstitutional Actions and his general tendency to engage in Domestic Terrorism [J6, ‘cough” J6].
“Gotta pay.”
Yes. Criminals and traitors must pay because of their actions. Also as a cautionary tale to others who may be on track to follow in those footsteps.
The ole DC democrat politician’s ploy; get caught abusing your office and or caught in criminal/compromising activity, then resign and it all goes away. I hope not this time, for any of them.
If Biden isn’t competent to stand trial he’s not competent to issue pardons. Period.
Constitution doesn’t work that way.
Our founding fathers never dreamed of anything so un-ethical and evil, as modern Democrats.
