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.
The administration can never be failure. It can only ever be failed. Makes no difference how hard LeBron worked if the Lakers lost. The Biden presidency was a failure and this man was part of that failure. There aren’t acceptable excuses.
Biden and Garland failed to prosecute Trump. See, that’s easy for me to say and I never said contrary. Smith did not fail to prosecute Trump, he did in 6 months of having been given the assignment to do so. The judicial system failed to uphold legal frameworks and made Smith’s prosecutions moot, that wasn’t Smith’s fault.
It’s one fucking administration dude. One fucking team working together.
Perfect must always get in the way of better, and we can’t acknowledge anything that was good until there is nothing bad left. Keep on keepin’ on Señor DingDong.
Jesus fucking Christ it’s the the flaming liberal spirit of Joe Biden manifest. “I’ll feel as long as I gave it my all and I did the goodest job as I know I can do, that’s what this is about”
No. It’s not good enough. Failure wasn’t an option in the fight against fascissm and because liberals refused to stop blindly cheerleading, the administration thought they could just “try their goodest” and that that would be enough.
2024 isn’t on the voters when the administration, and yes, Smith is a part of that failure, was as historic as a failure as they’ll be recorded to have been.
And there is a cult here that doesn’t want to acknowledge that how they approached both the 2024 election and the Biden Presidency set Trump up to win because a contingent of us recognized it and told them what they were doing was harmful in real time.
It’s blue maga. It’s a cult.
The point that you are rabidly trying to ignore and convince people not to acknowledge is that recognizing that Jack Smith was doing a good job doesn’t in any way mean you must also then wholly approve of everything Joe Biden ever did. Biden failed in many ways. See? I’m aware of it and nobody is arguing that with you. Smith went hard on building his cases and securing indictments and fighting in court. It’s ok for you to acknowledge that. Nobody is going to think it means you’re a Biden supporter if you do. If you won’t ever give praise for the good, then nobody is going to give a shit if you think what they’ve done is bad.
Whats it like being in a cult?
Oh. So Trump is in jail?.. oh… oh he’s not. Okay then. Oh you mean to tell me Trump actually went on to win the presidency? Then Jack Smith is a failure, along with the entirety of the administration.
See this is what a cult does. You revel in performative concessions. Its virtue signalling on your behalf. You want to signal “see, I’m on team good”, ignoring the fact that the manner in which you demand people fall into line with and support the objective failure of an administration predictably results in the other team winning. You are literally gaslighting people. And it doesn’t win elections. It loses them.
Actually, if you look around electorally, whats happening in the real world is the opposite of what you say. Blue MAGA, Third Way, AIPAC funded neoliberalism which will only ever “tut tut” at Israel; they’re largely losing across the board. Americans HATE you and your politics. But they like my politics, or, at least they’re so fed up with yours they’re ready to walk away and try something else.
How could Smith possibly have succeeded when the judges, up to and including the SCOTUS majority, were ignoring the Constitution with their rulings on the 14th amendment and immunity to protect Trump? How does any of that translate to Smith doing a bad job? How was Smith supposed to go over the SCOTUS rulings? Biden failed here by nominating, and then keeping, Garland as AG to begin with. Biden failed by not pushing for judicial reform including the size of the SCOTUS bench and impeachment of corrupt justices. None of those things are Smith’s fault, though, because he had no mechanism to anything about any of it.
I’m literally in this thread advocating for more DSA-aligned candidates running in Democratic primaries to push out the ineffective old guard neoliberals, but somehow me not blaming Smith for Biden’s failures has you bleating about that I’m a pro-Biden/AIPAC/MAGA cultist. You just don’t come across as a serious person.
You are literally asking for a performance where what you want me to say “Jack Smith did a good job” when they did, in fact, fail at their job. That’s what we evaluate people on. Not on whether or not they “tried their goodest”, but on the outcomes which result from their actions, which for Smith is bupkis, denada, goose-egg.
I’m not evaluating you on what you said somewhere else. You put words which position yourself squarely inside the Blue-MAGA cult here.

“The only people who disagree with me are neoliberals and fascists”, cried the Dingdong. It does not, of course, perceive that the only matching call in the forest is that of its greatest competitor species, the lowly maggat, with its cries of “The only people who disagree with me are commies and socialists”
From the team demanding performative concessions…
So you’re a Sith?
