shockingly weak academic record: he could have been in the bottom half of his class

Smith has unjustifiably concealed the identity of his politically motivated prosecutors, but it has been reported that several donated to [[Biden]]'s election campaign in addition to Smith's wife donating a substantial amount to Biden's campaign and the Biden Victory Fund super PAC.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/08/05/doj-prosecutor-working-special-counsel-jack-smiths-team-is-biden-donor/</ref>

'''''Smith has a shockingly weak academic record for someone in his position''''':  he merely graduated "cum laude" from [[Harvard]], as much of each class does, and apparently without even serving on a law review.  He did not obtain any post-graduation clerkship, as many of his higher-achieving classmates did.  Smith's first job after graduation, in the [[Manhattan]] DA's office, was relatively non-selective.  It's quite possible he lacks an understanding of basic legal concepts, and the interplay between courts and other branches of government.

The [[U.S. Supreme Court]] unanimously reversed a many-year, multi-million-dollar prosecution by Smith of [[Republican]] Virginia Gov. [[Bob McDonnell]], which cost him more than $27 million to defend.
