Special Prosecutor to “Investigate” Trump

The moment Trump announced his candidacy for President, AG Merrick Garland appointed a “special prosecutor” to continue the investigation just 3 days afterward. The man he chose, John L Smith was not only a chief prosecutor at The Hague since 2018, he also was “Deputy Assistant Attorney General of the Civil Rights Division at U.S. Department of Justice” during the Obama years.  This will be the third special prosecutor appointed to look into situations that have to do with Trump. Only this one may be far more biased than anyone thinks.

“I intend to conduct the assigned investigations, and any prosecutions that may result from them, independently and in the best traditions of the Department of Justice. The pace of the investigations will not pause or flag under my watch. I will exercise independent judgement and will move the investigations forward expeditiously and thoroughly to whatever outcome the facts and the law dictate.” statement of John L Smith

The Washington Post recently reported that while the documents were of personal interest, there was no information or evidence that Trump planned to sell anything to a foreign power. No one at the DOJ paid any attention to their article.

Smith was in charge of a team of prosecutors who were rebuked by the Supreme Court for the way they over prosecuted a case against two Republican lawmakers.

In the case against McDonnell, Smith’s team won initially — a jury convicted McDonnell on 11 corruption-related felony charges. The Supreme Court later overturned the conviction in a ruling rebuking the prosecution for its “boundless” interpretation of the law.

“There is no doubt that this case is distasteful; it may be worse than that. But our concern is not with tawdry tales of Ferraris, Rolexes, and ball gowns. It is instead with the broader legal implications of the Government’s boundless interpretation of the federal bribery statute,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in a 2016 opinion. “A more limited interpretation of the term ‘official act’ leaves ample room for prosecuting corruption, while comporting with the text of the statute and the precedent of this Court.” Daily Wire
