Staff Reports
While Jack Smith may seem like a political hack and a zealot, he is actually not stupid. In 2014, he led the Justice Department's public corruption unit, which prosecuted the case against Bob McDonnell, the governor of Virginia.
It was revealed that Smith and the other members of his team went too far when it came to pursuing justice. For instance, they threatened to arrest the children of McDonnell if he talked about the case with his wife. This led to his conviction being overturned.
After eight years, special counsel Smith has been tasked with investigating Donald Trump. Like before, he's looking for a crime that can be prosecuted against the president. In preparation for his investigation, Smith has already filed an impeachment indictment against Trump.
It's interesting that Smith pushed for a trial date to be set earlier, not because he wanted to ensure that the case against Trump would be prosecuted, but because he wanted a partisan jury to convict him. He knows that Trump's conviction would not be allowed by the Supreme Court.
Prediction: Jack Smith Will Get a DC Jury to Convict Trump and SCOTUS Will Vacate It; In Fact, Smith's Counting on It https://t.co/wJfGaPtUhZ

The goal of Smith's investigation is to create a false impression about the Supreme Court, which he believes is illegitimate. He wants to have his conviction for Trump's case thrown out so he can continue to spread the false claims about the court. Despite his own interpretation of federal criminal statutes being wrong, Smith doesn't care.
The recent Supreme Court rulings in Percoco v. and Ciminelli made it clear the Department of Justice can't create new definitions for federal criminal statutes. Smith refuses to follow the law and is unconcerned with these warnings.
The tactics used by Smith are similar to those used by Stalin's secret police chief, Lavrentiy Beria. He has his own target, and he's willing to do anything to fit that objective. This is a dangerous game that could have a significant impact on the integrity of the legal system.
