Greg Kelly’s blistering take on Jack Smith isn’t some fringe hot-take — it’s the logical reaction many Americans felt after watching Smith’s combative testimony before the House Judiciary Committee. For weeks conservatives have argued that Smith’s investigations crossed the line from law enforcement to political theater, and Thursday’s hearing only added fuel to that fire as partisan fireworks replaced answers.
Smith insisted he followed the facts and the law, repeatedly telling lawmakers that “no one should be above the law” while defending his decisions to charge a former president. Even so, his testimony was heavy on lawyers’ talk and light on the kind of transparency the public deserves, leaving critics convinced his office wielded power far beyond its proper remit.
Republicans rightly pressed him on the frightening use of investigative tools — including the collection of phone toll data for GOP lawmakers — which raises real constitutional concerns about overreach and political surveillance. That line of questioning is not merely partisan grandstanding; it exposes how a prosecutor’s broad discretion can be turned into a blunt instrument against political rivals.
The legal aftermath of Smith’s crusade has been messy, with judges and critics pointing to procedural flaws and controversies that undercut the public’s faith in neutral justice. The dismissal of aspects of his cases and ongoing litigation about his methods have Republicans arguing that accountability is overdue, not optional.
Now Smith himself says he expects retribution and possible prosecution under the very administration he targeted, a grim symmetry that speaks to how weaponized the Justice Department has become in recent years. When a prosecutor who once sought to discipline political actors now finds himself exposed to legal jeopardy, it should prompt a nationwide debate about limits, safeguards, and who polices the policers.
Conservatives aren’t calling for immunity for anyone, but for equal application of the law and an end to partisan lawfare that treats rival political figures as enemies rather than citizens. If America is to recover its institutions, we need prosecutors who act like judges of law, not agents of political consequence — and we need lawmakers to restore the guardrails that protect every American’s liberty.
