Up until now Democrats and the MSM have tried desperately to avoid the elephant in the room. They all know that the DOJ, the FBI, and the intelligence community conspired to stop Donald Trump from governing. They didn’t care because they also hated Trump. But then the bombshell dropped that is going to change everything. It turns out that Jack Smith had subpoenaed several Republican Senators in a failed attempt to gain a conviction against Donald Trump for alleged obstruction. Since several of the January 6th defendants were charged with obstruction, Smith needed to also charge Trump.
It is hard to imagine a poorer choice as Special Prosecutor to investigate a former President of the United States. Jack Smith has a long history of irresponsibly aggressive prosecutions. The following article from Fox News describes several of these:
History of Jack Smith’s courtroom smackdowns after landmark loss in Trump immunity case | Fox News
In 2016, he secured a conviction against former Virginia Governor Robert McDonnell. That conviction was overturned with a unanimous 8-0 ruling by the Supreme Court. In that decision the court warned that the “uncontrolled power of criminal prosecutors is a threat to our separation of power.”
In 2012, he prosecuted John Edwards, former Senator & Democratic VP candidate. He lost.
In 2017, he prosecuted Senator Bob Menendez. That resulted in a mistrial.
Incredibly, Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Jack Smith to investigate Donald Trump. It is shocking to think that Obama appointed Merrick Garland to the U.S. Supreme Court, but Mitch McConnell refused to even consider approving this.
Smith charged Trump with conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding and conspiracy against rights. He desperately wanted to try Trump before the 2024 election.
The Supreme Court put a stop to this, and Smith lost two Supreme Court decisions. The decision by Merrick Garland to appoint Jack Smith was pathetic. He was arguably the worth possible choice. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas wrote that there are “serious” question about Special Counsel Jack Smith’s appointment.
While Fox News covered this, the MSM was not interested. That just changed. The reason is easy to understand. For at least some Democrat Senators the light bulb just went on. If a Democrat prosecutor could subpoena Republican Senators phone records, then a Republican prosecutor could subpoena our phone records. Odds are a lot of powerful people in both parties are terrified at the thought of their personal phone records or emails being disclosed publicly. There are no U.S. Senators, past or present, who come close to meeting the requirement for Sainthood. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Few people have more power than a U.S. Senator.
Perhaps the best way to describe it is “for whom the smell tolls.” We can be certain that U.S. Senators on both sides of the aisle realize that if they don’t stop this, the next time that “smell will toll for thee!.”
