The Word Jack Smith Will Never Say

Elie Honig: “It’s obvious by now to any sentient earthling that Jack Smith is possessed by his desire to try Donald Trump before the approaching November 5, 2024, crucible. Throughout the special counsel’s D.C.-based January 6 prosecution of the former president, his primary tactical objective has been to beat the election clock.”

“But he has never acknowledged this plain truth in any of his public statements or court filings. Smith’s refusal isn’t just some semantic peccadillo; it undermines the Justice Department’s rote, conclusory mantra that the special counsel is entirely above the political fray.”
