Trump allies push to punish Jack Smith in first test of retribution vow
Even as Jack Smith moved to wind down his federal election interference case against Donald Trump on Friday, House Republicans took an initial step toward investigating the special counsel, setting up an early test of how the president-elect’s calls for retribution will play out.
House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Georgia) asked Smith’s office to preserve all records of the historic classified document and election interference probes, a routine first step in congressional inquiries, law enforcement investigations and litigation. Elon Musk, the X owner who spent more than $100 million boosting Trump’s campaign, responded to the House Republicans’ letter by posting, “Jack Smith’s abuse of the justice system cannot go unpunished.”
Obviously, trump feels he must discredit Smith and his investigations. So he's going to unleash the Crazy in the House to do his dirty work. Will House committee's be spending time proving trump's innocence? No......cuz they can't, the evidence shows he's guilty.
They will instead attempt to smear the investigators. Assassinate their characters like trump always does. It's what he did to the grand juries, and the judges, and even the judge's clerk in his civil cases. It's what he's done to Smith, to James, to Bragg, to Garland, to anyone involved in the pursuit of holding Don accountable. He's hoping to find some tiny thing and blow it out of proportion like he did in the Crossfire Hurricane investigation. To muddy the waters. To substitute impugning the character of the prosecutors for proof of innocence. Because he doesn't have any of that. Which doesn't matter..........because The Following will buy whatever he's selling.
