The Office of Special Counsel has launched a formal investigation into Jack Smith, the first official legal probe into his conduct, The Post has learned.

Smith is the justice department lawyer who oversaw two criminal investigations into President Donald Trump during the Biden administration, one into Trump’s handling of classified documents, the other as to whether his actions on Jan. 6th, 2021, were an attempt to overturn the 2020 election. Both cases were dismissed.

An email reviewed by The Post states The Hatch Act Unit, which enforces a law restricting government employees from engaging in political activities, has begun reviewing the former Special Counsel for the United States Department of Justice. The email was written by Senior Counsel Charles Baldis at OSC.

“I appreciate the Office of Special Counsel taking this seriously and launching an investigation into Jack Smith’s conduct. No one is above the law.

“Jack Smith’s actions were clearly driven to hurt President Trump’s election, and Smith should be held fully accountable,” said Senate Intelligence Committee chair Sen Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) in a statement to The Post.


Karma is a bitch, Jack.

You deserve it.

Man, this is some hilarious stuff coming from an administration that's pardoned a whole bunch of people jailed for breaking the law. They really think their base are a bunch of idiots, but sure, Jack Smith.

Because trump is allowed to do whatever he wants, to whomever he wants? Because those who question trump deserve to be punished? This is what you're saying, @Mycroft.

Then again, I'm sure no one is surprised to hear that you think a Republican elected official should not be held to account - or even investigated when the GOPer has done something wrong. Not even when that GOPer instigates a violent attempt to overturn an election.

Your partisanship is showing. You put loyalty to the GOP above and beyond patriotism, the rule of law, and the Constitution.
 
I'm sure he thought he was protected. If only his daddy was JB.
I'm pretty sure the likes of Jack Smith et al can and will run rings around the low-quality trump attorneys.

After all, when loyalty to der donnie is the deciding factor re employment, proficiency as a lawyer tends to get overlooked.

Stop right there !
Trump has been WRONGFULLY tried and impeached more than ANY Sitting & ex-President in US HISTORY !!!!
The ONLY reason he is still standing is because he follows the LAWS more than Politicians !!!!!....

Trump's whole life was with dealing with politicians and following the LAWS so his business doesn't suffer!
Politicians can commit MANY CRIMES and they WILL NOT GET held accountable because OTHER POLITICIANS will have to punish them and it might happen to them in the future so they become and stay CORRUPT !....

The only question is DID Smith commit CRIMES to go after Trump !!!????.....

This is JUSTICE not revenge or retaliation!

According to der donnie's political party, criminal actions should not be investigated, even when one of them involves trump's fomenting a violent attack on law enforcement, Congress, and the Vice-President.
 
Jack Smith: Bring it on, BITCH!

Can't wait for depositions.

What was it AG Barr said? "The investigation has totally exonerated president Trump."

Really, you want to discuss the details of the Smith investigation?

The point is to hurt him, not to win. It’s in the subject line.

Lawyers cost money. And Smith was a public servant and doesn’t have a lot of that. This is an example of the ruling elite going after the little guy to ruin him. Also, it sends a message to any other public servant about what happens if you investigate anyone in the ruling class.

Correction: Trump doesn’t "think" that the Maga base is a bunch of idiots, he "KNOWS"
that the Maga base is a bunch of idiots.

You know how against DoJ policy is to announce investigations especially in their early stages. This leads me to believe it's just bluster being used as yet another scare tactic. Then add in the NY Post factor and it's hardly believable.
 
Since Jack Smith was specifically appointed to investigate Trump's espionage activities after leaving office and attempted interference with the Constitutional functioning of Congress in the counting of the EC votes...

And since such activities where part of his official duties at the DOJ.

And since it will be the DOJ that would bring such a suit or charges.

And since they were official actions the government would be responsible for defending him.

It would be the DOJ brining suit against itself.

Since the DOJ attorney's would be "going after" Smith, you can't have the same attorney's being both prosecutors and defense.

Meaning the DOJ will end up being the one to pay for Smith's outside counsel.

The DOJ doesn't have anything to do with this...yet.

Now, this might get to the DOJ at some point if there is a case made that Smith violated the Hatch Act, but Smith is not a DOJ employee, so they will not be defending him. They will just be prosecuting him.

That video says it all......that's the kind of "democracy" the left is defending. Today they will just shrug a shoulder, so what, or amnesia sets in, then the accusation of fascism or racism flies out of their mouths.....same ole, same ole.....:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

I looked it up and you are correct. I have learned something. But more importantly, I have learned that the fox (Trump) is once again in charge of the hen house. Doesn't seem fair to allow the person who was investigated to be in charge of investigating the investigator. It's all bassackwards.

In all fairness, nothing in this government is normal.
