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.

    Yeah. Another problem is the Dems always come from a defensive posture. The right says Medicare has fraud. The left has to say yes, but….

    We all know there’s fraud, but it’s minimal and doesn’t mean we tear it all down.

    The left absolutely needs to get the messaging straight and then get it out there.
