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.

    Some people deserve attention. Some people get more attention than they deserve.

    I’d rather be listening to Jack Smith than the guy who said they were investigating injecting disinfectant to cure covid

      Jack Smith did effectively nothing of any value. He got himself headlines and did nothing.
