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.
You should have said this while you were in the job. And you should have stayed in the job and fought for the law. Now you’re just another everyday American. Powerless.
You apparently don’t comprehend what a severe breach of protocol that would have been while he was still investigating. It could be enough to doom the case on technicalities alone.
He presented to a grand jury and got an indictment. They released summaries and reports, all according to protocol. He had to cross every T and dot every I and do everything right, because the case was too important to risk losing it on technicalities.
But no, he’s not just another everyday American. He made a headline, didn’t he? That’s more than you can do. That’s not powerless, at least not as powerless as you.
Oh no, not the breached protocols! At least Trump never does that.
Yeah, you’re a fucking dumbass if you can’t see how that would cripple the entire investigation.
Playing clean while your opponent plays dirty is a guaranteed loss. Idc about protocol if following it means people die and my country crumbles. People too afraid to stick their necks out and get their hands dirty are a major part of the problem at this point.
You think breaking protocol as the chief prosecutor on the case and “getting hands dirty” would have made things any better?
The investigation was already crippled, as it amounted to no jail time. So what is lost by using different tactics? Your way didn’t work.
So, what, he should have given up? Because if he looked into his crystal ball he could have seen that the corrupt supreme court would punt the case till after the election anyway? So he shouldn’t have even tried? Is that seriously what you want to claim?
