Jack Smith is a rogue prosecutor on a mission to jail Donald Trump at all costs.
But the outcome of the election turned his world upside down.
And the Texas Attorney General just set this trap for Jack Smith that has all hell breaking loose.
Jack Smith’s witch hunt against Donald Trump comes to an end
Special Counsel Jack Smith spent years pursuing President-Elect Donald Trump with sham criminal cases over January 6 and classified documents.
He was supposed to be Democrats insurance for this election but his witch hunt was derailed by legal setbacks.
Trump won the election which put his criminal cases on thin ice.
D.C. District Court Judge Tonya Chutkan paused the January 6 case at the request of Smith.
“The Government respectfully requests that the Court vacate the remaining deadlines in the pretrial schedule to afford the Government time to assess this unprecedented circumstance and determine the appropriate course going forward consistent with Department of Justice policy,” Smith wrote in a filing.
A district court Judge in Florida threw out Smith’s classified documents case because he was unlawfully appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland.
The Special Counsel’s office appealed that decision.
A Justice Department source said that Smith was going to wind down his cases against Trump because of a longstanding policy of not prosecuting a sitting President.
Trump vowed to fire Smith shortly after he was inaugurated on January 20.
Smith’s witch hunt is dead in the water but now he could be dealing with his own legal woes.
Texas Attorney General warns Jack Smith to preserve his record
The suspicion from the beginning was that Smith’s criminal cases were politically motivated and directed by the Biden administration.
Now, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton – a potential candidate for Attorney General in the Trump administration – demanded that Smith preserve his records with the Special Counsel’s office.
Paxton filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the Justice Department for Smith’s records from the Trump investigations.
“I will not allow the corrupt weaponization of the United States government to be swept under the rug as Jack Smith and others who unjustly targeted President Trump attempt to avoid accountability,” Paxton said. “The American people deserve transparency, and those responsible for these unlawful witch hunts must not destroy the evidence of their own misdeeds.”
Paxton requested records between Smith and the Fulton County District Attorney’s office, New York state government including Attorney General Letitia James, and Congress.
The Texas Attorney General is trying to discover who Smith coordinated within his witch hunt against Trump.
Paxton was worried that Smith would follow the lead of previous Special Counsels like Robert Mueller and destroy records related to his investigation.
“Attorney General Paxton has a well-founded belief as set forth herein that Defendants will simply destroy the records. That is how they and/or their predecessors have operated in the recent past. And Jack Smith’s team has conducted itself in multiple ways that suggest it cannot be blindly trusted to preserve, and eventually produce, all of its records,” a statement from the Texas Attorney General’s office read.
Jack Smith will be under a white-hot spotlight for leading law fare against the President-Elect.
