BREAKING: Office of Special Counsel Launches Investigation Into Jack Smith

The Office of Special Counsel has launched an investigation into Jack Smith for possible violations of the Hatch Act.

Jack Smith was appointed as Special Counsel in 2022 by Joe Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate Trump just one day after Trump announced his 2024 bid for the White House.

The Office of Special Counsel opened the investigation after Senator Tom Cotton earlier this week sent a letter alleging Jack Smith’s actions politically harmed Trump during the 2024 election.

The New York Post reported:

The Office of Special Counsel has launched a formal investigation into Jack Smith, the first official legal probe into his conduct, The Post has learned.

Smith is the justice department lawyer who oversaw two criminal investigations into President Donald Trump during the Biden administration, one into Trump’s handling of classified documents, the other as to whether his actions on Jan. 6th, 2021, were an attempt to overturn the 2020 election. Both cases were dismissed.

An email reviewed by The Post states The Hatch Act Unit, which enforces a law restricting government employees from engaging in political activities, has begun reviewing the former Special Counsel for the United States Department of Justice. The email was written by Senior Counsel Charles Baldis at OSC.

“I appreciate the Office of Special Counsel taking this seriously and launching an investigation into Jack Smith’s conduct. No one is above the law.

“Jack Smith’s actions were clearly driven to hurt President Trump’s election, and Smith should be held fully accountable,” said Senate Intelligence Committee chair Sen Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) in a statement to The Post.

From Wiki: “The couple lived in the Netherlands starting in 2018,[11] before moving to Washington, D.C. in December 2022, shortly after Smith was appointed as special counsel…

I think he left again

AG Bondi Axes 20 DOJ Staffers Tied to J6 and Trump Documents Probes
Gateway Pundit ^ | July 12, 2025 | Cassandra MacDonald
Posted on 7/12/2025, 2:15:25 PM by Macho MAGA Man

Attorney General Pam Bondi has fired more than 20 Department of Justice employees who were involved in investigating the January 6 protest and the case regarding President Donald Trump’s handling of classified documents, according to a new report. On Friday, at least 20 employees from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team were let go, including two prosecutors, seven support staff members, and U.S. Marshals, according to reports from Reuters and Axios.

Per Axios:

The firings are part of a massive purge aimed at clearing DOJ of attorneys and support staff who took part in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s prosecution of Trump for Jan. 6 and possessing classified documents unlawfully.

The new dismissals bring the total Smith-related firings to about 35.

About 15 more could face termination.

Whether he is found guilty of any wrongdoing or not, only time will tell. However, I am quite confident that Mr. Smith is going to spend a not so small fortune defending himself, and that really warms the cockles of my heart.

You might not be able to put them in jail but destroying them financially seems like a fun idea. Remember what they did to General Flynn and so many others.

We will see... Remember that one of Smith's prosecutors told a Trump defense attorney that he was curious that that atty was simultaneously seeking a nomination to a federal judgeship.

But if you really want the scivvy on Smith, look up why the International Criminal Court severed it relationship with this shady character... probably the same reason that Smith was hired by the Bitem DoJ!
