In a stunning twist that even the most optimistic conservatives might not have anticipated, Special Counsel Jack Smith moved to dismiss the January 6 federal case against President Donald Trump, just a little while after he secured his comeback victory in the 2024 presidential election. The timing could not be more convenient, making one wonder if the Democrat-led circus is finally packing up its tents after four years of relentless attacks on the former president.
The announcement was met with jubilant cheers from Trump supporters, who view it as a long-overdue validation of their steadfast defense against what many are calling “Democratic lawfare.” After all, this case was nothing more than an overpriced, media-fueled vendetta that had taken too long to expose for what it truly was—a political ploy designed to derail a legitimate candidate. Jack Smith, labeled by many as the legal equivalent of a leaky boat, finally seemed to realize that his charges were as flimsy as a paper towel in a rainstorm.
Some Say Pump the Brakes on Celebrating Jack Smith's Demise

However, amidst the open celebration, some cautionary voices emerged, insisting that conservatives should not hang up their party hats just yet. The fallout from the past four years will take more than a motion to dismiss to resolve. Ben Williamson, former Senior Communications Advisor in the Trump White House, reminded everyone of the collateral damage that this political witch hunt has inflicted. Many lives—his included—faced relentless scrutiny, and it’s clear that not everyone is ready to let bygones be bygones. Williamson’s words echo a growing call among conservatives that the time for accountability is not just a distant hope—it’s a necessity.
Meanwhile, Dan Scavino, a senior advisor who served in the Trump administration, took to social media to voice his frustrations about the ordeal. He painted a grim picture of a four-year ordeal filled with subpoenas knocking down doors as if they were selling Girl Scout cookies. It’s a tough pill to swallow that while the left blames Trump for their own shortcomings, the real victims are those who had to endure invasive investigations and unjust treatment for supporting him.
As voices of caution intensify, there remain critics who assert that Jack Smith likely didn’t dismiss the charges because he suddenly grew a conscience. Rather, they argue that it was an unavoidable decision driven by the embarrassment of having to turn a case based on dubious evidence into sewage. The fact remains that conservative intellectuals believe Smith needs more than a polite dismissal; with the damage inflicted on the Trump legacy and supporters’ lives, the only fitting punishment would be exile.
Creating a sense of unity while addressing the havoc wreaked by the left is a monumental task ahead for Trump. Yet the shared sentiment within the conservative ranks is clear: the dismissals may have been a step in the right direction, but without genuine accountability, disappointment remains just around the corner.
