WASHINGTON — A watchdog investigation into former special counsel Jack Smith over his prosecutions of President Trump is based on an “imaginary and unfounded” premise, Smith’s lawyers wrote in a letter obtained by the Associated Press on Tuesday.
The letter marks the first response by Smith and his legal team to news that the Office of Special Counsel, an independent watchdog office, had launched an investigation into whether Smith engaged in improper political activity through his criminal inquiries into Trump.
The attorneys told Jamieson Greer, the acting head of the office, that his investigation into Smith was “wholly without merit.”
“Mr. Smith’s actions as Special Counsel were consistent with the decisions of a prosecutor who has devoted his career to following the facts and the law, without fear or favor and without regard for the political consequences, not because of them,” wrote Smith’s lawyers, Lanny Breuer and Peter Koski.
The Office of Special Counsel, which is totally distinct from the Justice Department special counsel position that Smith held for more than two years starting in November 2022, confirmed the investigation after a request from Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, who asked it to examine Smith’s activities for potential violations of the Hatch Act, a federal law that bans certain public officials from engaging in political activity.
Cotton had alleged that Smith sought to interfere in the 2024 presidential election through his prosecutions and sought to in effect fast-track the cases toward resolution, including by asking the Supreme Court to weigh in on a key legal question before a lower court had a chance to review the issue.
But Smith’s lawyers say that argument is contradicted by the facts and note that no court ruling or other authority prohibits prosecutors from investigating allegations of criminal conducts against candidates for office...

Sounds like an admission to me.
What else would one expect from Smith’s lawyers?
Jack Smith, so clean and innocent.
Except he wasn’t properly appointed in the first place and was acting without legal authority.
People go to jail for impersonating an officer.
Hatch Act?
How about abuse of power, abuse of government resources, perjury in pursuit of warrant, prejudicial press leaks, entrapment, conspiracy to commit entrapment, unauthorized access to classified information, fabrication of “evidence”, it goes on and on.
Never in American history has anyone even attempted a stunt like this little tete a tete between Garfinkel and “Smith”.
The investigation and ensuing court cases should have one goal: that no ever attempts it again. President’s a crook? Groovy. Impeach and try in the Senate. After that, nada.
Like he did to Trump. Got it.
I love Raymond Reddington when he takes someone down (video)
“ Smith’s lawyers wrote in a letter obtained by the Associated Press”
Yeah that’s credible, smiths lawyers and sent the rat hacks at AP.
Smith’s lawyers said...blah, blah, blah!!
HIS LAWYERS ARE HANGING ON BY A SLIM THREAD. IMO.
No Lanny Breuer and Peter Koski,
its not “imaginary”,
its “ novel” enforcement of real existing law.
.
Smith is a common name. His parents can easily deny that they had any children that lived.
Shysters defending a shyster.
Yeah, that’s a real shocker
DOesn’t matter. Did you notice that Jack didn’t respond. His lawyers did.
I’m not sure Jack is still with us.
