Do you see the bit further up where Smith requests access to the case files at OSC? It’s actually explained in the news article we were discussing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squistion 2,540 Posted October 29 https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/trump-lashes-out-at-jan-6-prober-jack-smith-in-new-rant-demands-he-be-thrown-in-prison/ Trump Lashes Out at Jan. 6 Prober Jack Smith in New Rant — Demands He Be Thrown in ‘Prison’ President Donald Trump lashed out at former Special Counsel Jack Smith over his investigation into election crimes and the events of January 6, 2021, demanding “prison” for Smith and his investigators. Prior to being elected to a second term, Trump faced dozens of criminal counts in the Smith-led classified documents case and the January 6 case, but after the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling and Trump’s victory in the 2024 election Smith dropped the charges and resigned as special counsel. But since then, Trump and Republicans have pursued a campaign to scandalize Smith’s investigations, making false and misleading claims about the conduct of an operation to investigate January 6 and the attempt to overturn the election, code-named “Arctic Frost.” As Trump neared the end of his Asia trip Wednesday, he posted a new rant about Smith’s probe in which he attacked Smith as a “criminal” and referred to him and his team as “thugs” who belong in “prison”: These thugs should all be investigated and put in prison. A disgrace to humanity. Deranged Jack Smith is a criminal!!! Trump linked to an article detailing allegations made by the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee. Smith, for his part, has responded to a Judiciary Committee by offering, through his attorneys, to testify in public. “Given the many mischaracterizations of Mr. Smith’s investigation into President Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents and role in attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election, Mr. Smith respectfully requests the opportunity to testify in open hearings before the House and Senate Judiciary Committees,” Smith’s attorneys wrote. Smith is just the latest in a list of Trump nemeses who have been targeted since he re-took office. Public pronouncements like these have preceded criminal indictments in several recent cases. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squistion 2,540 Posted October 30 https://x.com/DilanianMSNBC/status/1983886814239764854 The National Review's @AndrewCMcCarthy: "The top priority of the Trump Justice Department, with help from other administration components and Trump allies on Capitol Hill, is to craft a revisionist history of the scandal arising from Trump’s attempt to undo his loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 election. This principally involves inculcating the syllogism that, because some Democratic lawfare efforts against Trump were bogus (e.g., the Alvin Bragg and Letitia James cases in New York), all Democratic-led investigations of Trump must have been bogus. The main targets of this revisionist history are the two federal investigations — the J6 and the Mar-a-Lago documents cases — that were manifestly based on significant misconduct and abuses of power." 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your duplicate Jack Smith thread had been around for weeks and I had never said anything about it before today - and my comment today in another thread was to point out your hypocrisy complaining about people creating threads with similar subject matter (like on the NYC Mayor's race and one on the newly elected Mayor himself).
