Staff Reports
Attorney General Merrick Garland has once again decided to unearth the questionable work of Special Counsel Jack Smith, delivering a report that reads more like a desperate attempt to smear Donald Trump than a legitimate legal assessment. The highlight — if one can call it that — is Smith’s boast that he could have secured a conviction against the former president, that is, if he hadn’t been interrupted by Trump winning the election. Apparently, the only thing stopping Smith from achieving his elusive goal of a conviction was the American voters saying “not today” to his courtroom theatrics.
This report isn’t just light reading; it stretches to a sprawling 170 pages filled with the same tired allegations that have been flung at Trump since he first ran for office. Smith alleges Trump “inspired” supporters to commit physical violence on January 6, despite the fact that his speech that day was all about peaceful protest. Clearly, one would think that urging supporters to act lawfully might exempt a person from being accused of inciting violence. But in the world of Smith, facts are mere suggestions, especially when they can be twisted for political gain.
🚨NEW: Jack Smith asserts in his newly-released report he would have successfully convicted Trump:

What’s more, when addressing claims of voter fraud, Smith asserts that Trump “knew” there was no significant fraud affecting the election outcome. One has to wonder how Smith attained such mind-reading abilities, given that nothing says “credible investigation” like guessing the intentions or knowledge of a political figure. This all-too-familiar tactic of claiming Trump’s actual thoughts reinforces the narrative of those who are perpetually hell-bent on delegitimizing his presidency.
In an ironic twist, this report was released just hours after another special counsel, David Weiss, pointed fingers at President Biden for misleading the American public about the criminal investigations surrounding his son, Hunter. The timing stinks worse than the leftovers in the office fridge, suggesting a coordinated effort to distract from the Biden administration’s ongoing scandals by whipping up the Trump narrative yet again. It’s almost as if Smith, Garland, and their pals are playing a game of “who can kick the can down the road the longest” with Trump as their perennial punching bag.
In a swift rebuttal, Trump hit back via his Truth Social platform, highlighting the bizarre circumstances of the report being released at the ungodly hour of 1:00 AM, implying their desperation to get “fake findings” out into the public domain before anyone else noticed. It appears that instead of focusing on the issues that matter to everyday Americans, the left is obsessed with digging up Trump for every faux pas, false claim, and politically motivated theory they can muster. Who needs constructive policy discussions when you have the extraordinary spectacle of Jack Smith and his ‘masterful’ report to entertain the masses?
