During a television broadcast on Thursday, former federal special counsel Jack Smith expressed deep concern regarding the current state of American jurisprudence. Appearing on the MS NOW program hosted by Nicolle Wallace, the former prosecutor described the current political landscape as an extraordinary threat to the nation’s legal foundations. He characterized the ongoing institutional shift as a unique challenge, calling it an assault “different in kind and scope to anything I’ve seen in my lifetime.” This marked his initial public media appearance since stepping down from his federal post in January 2025.

    Let me give you a law enforcement lesson… The law doesn’t suddenly stop on major crimes. Like those pesky Tax fraud convictions.

    Silence is NORMAL in investigations, and you see it with drug busts, pedo rings and other things all the time. You’ll have the typical people whinging that everything is being ignored, the police suck, etc. And then suddenly, you see huge arrests suddenly and charges laid. All the evidence is still there.

    Jack smith couldn’t keep trump from becoming elected, and the judge was Aileen Cannon, who was appointed by Trump. Aileen Cannon likely DELAYED the trial on purpose, to ensure it would happen too late. And, she seemingly took steps to limit access to that report. The FBI doesn’t have access to remove Aileen Cannon from the Supreme court.

    The report is ALREADY DONE. Jack smith can validate the report and if it has been sabotaged, and in all likelihood, it has been given to people he trusts within the FBI. And, you don’t want to give Trump time to take steps to act against the conviction whilst he’s in court (he probably hasn’t got access to all the evidence FBI has too). Releasing the evidence would give him 4 years to weaken the case

    The moment Trump is out, don’t be surprised if this returns to court…

        That’s a matter of perspective. For people still voting for Trump, I guess I may be seen as Super smart.

        For everyone else, probably average or below average
