Smith doesn’t regret charging Trump Smith told lawmakers that he did not regret his decision to charge Trump in both felony indictments.
"If asked whether to prosecute a former president based on the same facts today, I would do so regardless of whether that president was a Republican or a Democrat," he said. "No one should be above the law in our country, and the law required that he be held to account. So that is what I did."
The former special counsel said his team had collected “overwhelming evidence” that could have secured convictions in both cases.
"The evidence here made clear that President Trump was, by a large measure, the most culpable and most responsible person in this conspiracy," Smith said about the election interference case.
Crimes committed on 6 January were for Trump's benefit, Smith contended.
"The attack that happened at the Capitol, part of this case, does not happen without him,” he said. “The other co-conspirators were doing this for his benefit."
Smith expects Trump to continue to target him One lawmaker asked if Smith expected to be indicted by the justice department over his investigations. Attorney General Pam Bondi currently leads the department and has close ties to Trump.
“I believe they will do everything in their power to do that because they have been ordered to by the president,” said Smith, who was appointed by former Attorney General Merrick Garland during the Biden administration.
Trump’s repeated statements about him and the investigations “are meant to intimidate me”, Smith added.
“I will not be intimidated," he said. "I think these statements are also made as a a warning to others of what will happen if they stand up."
Over the summer, federal officials opened an investigation into Smith. What specifically is being looked into

"The republicans had no response to Jack Smith's facts".
Smith is the poster boy for TDS.
Nutty as a fruitcake....

Well.....Perhaps he should go after Biden then since it was proven that he had been stealing and stashing classified documents for decades.
Smith was an illegality appointed crook and always has been. Overturned by the supremes 9-0
Go ahead and open up the way for Trump to expose your skeletons, Jackie.
Jackie Smith is starting to look like this year’s
Fool On A Hill:
“But nobody wants to know him
They can see that he’s just a Fool
And he never gives an answer
Just a Fool on a hill ...”
And he couldn’t make the case with four years of Biden giving him cover to prove it. He should be a piñata in prison if there were any justice in this country.
The guy admitted his entire “evidence” was based on hearsay of a flakey witness but has the audacity to say “He committed a crime and I was just doing my job.”
“No one should be above the law ...” Except for Smith and his cabal of Marxists - uh, I mean “DEmocrats.”
He will be judged for his deception.
Trump better kick the arrests and jailings of the left into overdrive while he still can because when the left retakes Washington, it is gonna a whole new level of lawfare and trump and his family and organizations are gonna be public enemy number 1.
Was Jack Smith approved by Congress to be special prosecutor?
Was he previously approved by Congress to work for the DOJ?
Was he legally sworn in with witnesses when he started?
Did Jack Smith identify the FBI agents and thier activities on Jan 6th?
Why did Jack Smith lie and say that Donald Trump didn’t authorize National Guard when he did and Nancy Pelosi blocked it?
Why does Jack Smith believe that delaying the Electorialcollege after 100 Congress people requested it, is illegal? What does the Constitution say?
Jack Smith lied and made things up in his Congressional testimony already. Hope he is not above the law, because contempt is coming,
Great song, crappy prosecutor. Did I mention corrupt to the core?
Tell the bimbo at DoJ. And the dummy at the FBI. He thinks they won’t be re weaponized if the dems gain power.
This statement should lead to a defamation lawsuit by DJT...
Rasputin needs his ass kicked.
He’s a poster boy for the banality of Evil.
I get so weary of these fools mouthing off about no one should be above the law in this country. Trying to clothe themselves in robes of purity. Everyone knows that is code language to knife your opponent and it is the corrupt demented democrats who squeal that the loudest.
