Jack Smith

Jack Smith

Jack Smith. sometimes known as Dirty Jack, is the special council appointed by Biden junta chief prosecutor Merrick Garland who brought charges in the Trump insurrection hoax to interfere in the 2024 presidential election and American democracy.

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.

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.

The WSJ reported that Smith directs “about 40 to 60 lawyers, paralegals, support staff and FBI agents” and yet only 6 of these taxpayer-funded lawyers have been disclosed to the public as of Aug. 11, 2023.

Appointment

WSJ columnist Holman Jenkins wrote, “Mr. Smith was only named after a leak signaling Joe Biden’s displeasure with the department for not being aggressive enough against Mr. Trump.”

The order appointing Smith on Nov. 18, 2022, is posted on the DOJ website.

Sundance of Theconservativetreehouse summarizes the background:

"Rod Rosenstein, Robert Mueller, Michael Horowitz, Bill Barr, John Durham and now, Merrick Garland, Lisa Monaco and Jack Smith, were/are all attempting to defend the institutional interests of a comprehensively corrupt Washington DC political apparatus. All of these participants were/are involved in one long continuum of an effort to hide the corruption and protect the institutions. The weaponized institutions of government, and the evidence of that corrupt activity, are what they are protecting."
