Disgraced former Special Counsel Jack Smith may be down, but he’s not out and is reportedly plotting a “counterattack” as he faces a grilling by Republican lawmakers, many of whom were targeted in his sweeping witch hunt against President Donald J. Trump.
The vicious lawfare thug who was brought in by the Biden regime to spearhead the cases against Trump has faced calls for accountability after it was revealed that he abused his power to spy on GOP members of Congress as a part of the FBI’s “Arctic Frost” investigation which increasingly looks like a government sanctioned operation to destroy the MAGA movement, a threat to the Democratic Party that Smith has dutifully served.
According to the New York Times, Smith “appears eager to publicly challenge a foundational pillar of MAGA canon: that the president was a sinned-upon innocent who did nothing to deserve scrutiny, much less two prosecutions.”

In the report, which was published on Monday, the paper says that the former prosecutor “has told people in his orbit that he welcomes the opportunity to present the public case against Mr. Trump denied to him by the Supreme Court decision asserting broad presidential immunity from prosecution and adverse rulings from a Trump-appointed judge on the federal bench in Florida.”
The venue that Smith seeks to use to turn the tables would be the U.S. Congress if he is made to testify in public hearings before the House of Representatives or Senate. Hearings that would be turned into a huge spectacle by Democrats and a corrupt media that would portray him as a heroic victim of a weaponized system of justice controlled by Trump.
The Times reports that “some” Republicans have “privately expressed concern” that hauling Smith in front of Congress “could backfire by giving a credible anticorruption investigator an open mic.” The paper did not name the concerned Republicans.
According to the NYT, the anonymous Republicans “are divided on precisely how to proceed, according to interviews with lawmakers and their aides. Some have expressed concerns about giving Mr. Smith a public platform, unless the records trawl uncovers something so damning it shatters his credibility.”
The paper reports that Smith has “begun moving his own chess pieces” with a demand for public hearings and asking the Justice Department to “give him broad latitude to discuss evidence presented to grand juries,” apparently looking to turn any congressional hearings into a version of the public trials of Trump that were denied to him after last summer’s Supreme Court ruling upholding presidential immunity effectively put him out of business.
“These thugs should all be investigated and put in prison. A disgrace to humanity. Deranged Jack Smith is a criminal!!!” Trump wrote in an October 29 post to Truth Social after the House Judiciary Committee released documents showing that more than 160 Republicans were targeted under “Arctic Frost.”
Trump had previously slammed Smith in similar terms, telling reporters at the White House, “What they did was criminal. Deranged Jack Smith, in my opinion, is a criminal.”

In its report, the Times refers to a pair of recent interviews that Smith participated in, one with fellow slimy lawfare goon Andrew Weissmann, a malicious ex-federal prosecutor famously nicknamed “Mueller’s pit bull” for his work on the Russiagate investigation under former Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
“The idea that politics played a role in who worked on that case, or who got chosen, is ludicrous,” Smith told Weissmann during their conversation at the University College London, defending himself as being above reproach.
Smith also said that he had “tons of evidence” that Trump “willfully retained” classified materials stored at his Mar-a-Lago residence and that he tried “to obstruct the investigation.”
“He’s a dirtbag! A dirtbag!” said Senate Judiciary Committee member Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) during a news conference last week. “We should have Watergate-style hearings on this for months.”
During a Sunday Fox News appearance, Schmitt said that Smith is “notorious in prosecutor circles as the henchman you assigned to go get your person. A ‘show me the man, I’ll show you the crime’ type of prosecutor. He’s a total dirtbag.”
