Biden DOJ’s Jack Smith Faces Backlash Over Allegations in Trump Trial Circus

Jack Smith, the special counsel appointed by the Biden Justice Department, has thrown a hefty pile of allegations against former President Donald Trump into the legal ring, prompting some legal experts to wonder if fairness has taken a backseat in this trial. Rebecca Roiphe, a CBS analyst and ex-Manhattan federal prosecutor, has raised eyebrows at the level of detail proposed in Smith’s lengthy filing, suggesting that such detailed allegations might not sit well with a jury. Among the infamous tales spun by Smith is the claim that when Trump heard about a mob storming the Capitol while then-Vice President Mike Pence was inside, he shrugged it off with a dismissive “So what?” The jury’s perception of these dramatic claims could indeed make or break the case.

Legal eagles on Trump’s defense team aren’t keeping quiet either. They assert that Smith’s operation is bordering on a violation of Trump’s right to a fair trial, labeling his filings as a thinly veiled partisan smear. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, however, saw things differently, dismissing the notion of “bad-faith” bias in Smith’s approach, despite the overwhelming detail he has presented. Chutkan even went on to release a partially redacted transcript of Smith’s filing, thus giving the public a glimpse into what might be better left in the courtroom rather than in the headlines.

Just prior to the 165-page onslaught from Smith, Team Trump clapped back with their own filing, which essentially points out that Smith is more interested in turning the court of public opinion than actually pursuing justice. The defense highlighted the irony of Smith’s newfound enthusiasm for publicizing witness testimony, especially given his prior insistence on keeping identities secret. Suddenly, the prosecutor’s game plan seems like it’s more about spectacle than substance, revealing the dirty underbelly of political maneuvering just as the election looms large on the horizon. 

 

Experts speculate that if Trump finds a way to emerge victorious in the upcoming election, one of his first acts will likely involve scrapping Smith’s case faster than a leftist cancelling Christmas. Already, another case concerning classified documents stashed at Mar-a-Lago has been tossed out due to a ruling from Judge Aileen Cannon, who found Smith’s appointment lacking legitimacy. The ongoing J6 case, overseen by Obama appointee Chutkan, looks set to drag on – likely unresolved before voters hit the polls. Given the sheer number of “landmines” sprouting up from Smith’s filings, it seems a fair trial for the former president may already be a lost cause.

Adding a dollop of chaos to an already convoluted situation, former DOJ official Jim Trusty has claimed that introducing “immunized evidence” is a serious no-no, one that could skew a jury’s view of Trump. Trusty discussed how the Supreme Court’s ruling established that such evidence shouldn’t even be in the courtroom, let alone influence an indictment. In this topsy-turvy world where political agendas often masquerade as legal proceedings, Jack Smith may have effectively dialed up his own demise by presenting evidence that compromises Trump’s right to a fair trial. As it stands, if Smith misjudges just one detail, he could be forced to return to the grand jury, making this entire ordeal not just a political circus, but also a legal juggling act of epic proportions.
