With reports that the investigation into classified documents seized from Mar-a-Lago is heating up, former President Donald J. Trump took a flamethrower to Attorney General Merrick Garland’s special counsel, a risky move considering that antagonizing Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg didn’t work out so well for the 2024 GOP frontrunner.
The New York Times reported that Jack Smith, the second special counsel appointed to launch a sweeping investigation into Trump after Robert Mueller failed to deliver the goods, is focusing on surveillance footage from the former president’s South Florida residence to determine whether the boxes containing documents were moved around in an effort to conceal them and that federal prosecutors have issued a flurry of subpoenas to Mar-a-Lago employees and to the Trump Organization seeking the video, according to the usual anonymous sources.
The embattled former president, who is set to participate in a nationally televised CNN town hall on Wednesday went nuclear on Smith as well as former Attorney General Bill Barr in a series of posts on his Truth Social platform.
“The Special ‘Prosecutor,’ Jack Smith, who is harassing, threatening, and terrorizing people who work for me, probably illegally, and totally at odds with the way Crooked Joe Biden is being treated, will no longer be known as the Special ‘Prosecutor,’ but rather, the Special ‘Persecutor.’ He is a Trump Hating SLIMEBALL who is going far beyond the original instructions of the Department of Injustice. The Witch Hunt continues, as it always will, with the Radical Left, Country Destroying, Lunatics!” Trump wrote on Saturday.

Shortly before lighting up “SLIMEBALL” Smith, Trump hammered his former underling, accusing the former top law enforcement official of cowardice.
“Bill Barr was a weak & slovenly man who was ill equipped to be Attorney General because he was literally in fear of the Radical Left Democrats & all they were threatening to do to him. He did fine with the Russia, Russia, Russia, Hoax, but it should have been gotten rid of, as a made up Democrat Con Job, much faster. Remember, he had the Hunter Biden Laptop! The time and money wasted on this charade was incalculable, and without me being on the other end of this plot, there was great danger….,” raged Trump.

Trump added, “Page 2: Barr was most afraid of anything having to do with the Rigged Election, because he knew that it was this subject, more than any other, that the Democrats did not want to even think about. They got away with “murder,” so no more discussions with the possibility of getting caught. They wanted it OVER! I got very tough with Bill Barr, and pushed him hard to do his job, but he just couldn’t overcome his fear of the Radical Left – He was useless. I “nicely” fired him. He is now a soundbite!”

Whether Barr’s remarks on Friday that were highly critical of his former boss tripped Trump’s trigger is unknown but during an appearance in Cleveland, the former attorney general was set up perfectly by Geraldo Rivera in what looked suspiciously like a planted question.
“He does not have the discipline, he does not have the ability for strategic thinking or linear thinking, or setting priorities, or how to get things done in the system,” Barr replied to Rivera’s question on whether Trump is fit to be president.
“It is a horror show when he’s left to his own devices. You may want his policies but Trump will not deliver Trump policies,” he added. “He will deliver chaos, and if anything, lead to a backlash that will set his policies much further back than they otherwise would be.”

In another report from New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman, or as Trump fondly refers to her, “Maggot Haberman,” the special counsel’s case could be greatly aided from a rat at Mar-a-Lago, one of the two-legged variety.
“Federal prosecutors investigating former President Donald J. Trump’s handling of classified documents have obtained the confidential cooperation of a person who has worked for him at Mar-a-Lago, part of an intensifying effort to determine whether Mr. Trump ordered boxes containing sensitive material moved out of a storage room there as the government sought to recover it last year, multiple people familiar with the inquiry said,” Haberman and four others at the NYT reported on Friday.
“All of these Fake Prosecutions are merely being done to Interfere with, and Influence, our Elections. It is a dangerous time in America!!!:” Trump said in another Saturday Truth Social post.
