The recent conduct of special counsel Jack Smith and Attorney General Merrick Garland seems to carry with it all the charm of a poorly executed political prank. Following Donald Trump’s decisive victory in the 2024 election, the duo unceremoniously discarded all federal charges and appeals aimed at the former president. However, in a move that seems more like a political temper tantrum than a legitimate legal action, they opted not to dismiss these charges with prejudice, which leaves the door ajar for a future Democratic administration to potentially revive these ghostly allegations.
The likelihood of any Democratic president in 2029 resurrecting these already irrelevant issues seems slim to none. After all, if there’s one thing the left loves, it’s ignoring threats that could remind voters of their previous failures. Trump’s upcoming four-year tenure suggests that, barring any miraculous miracle from the left, the Democrats have more pressing concerns than trying to dredge up defeated narratives that voters are already sick of hearing.

However, just when one thought it was game over, Smith and Garland appear to be gearing up for one last misguided hurrah. Word has it that a purportedly comprehensive report detailing alleged misconduct by Trump will soon hit the public sphere, much to the glee of leftist media outlets. This report is rumored to contain sensational claims about electoral interference and supposed mishandling of classified materials, essentially serving as a final desperate gasp from a counsel that’s lost the narrative.
One can hardly contain their amused skepticism at claims that this report will become an essential historical record. The fact of the matter is that Smith’s endeavors were never about justice; they have always been about score-settling, a narrative that only augments suspicions regarding his motivations. With every word Smith releases, the echoes of his partisan bias will resonate louder, confirming what many already believe about his precarious position within a highly politicized Justice Department.
The good news buried within this exercise in futility is that the Trump camp can decide how to react. Ignoring the theatrics and letting Smith’s report slip into obscurity seems like the ideal course of action. After all, the mainstream media is well-known for bubbling over with excitement at such revelations, but in the grand arch of public discourse, very few actually care. Allowing the left to parade their outrage is precisely what this charade thrives on; it feeds their narrative and energizes their base, but ultimately no one is coming away with anything of substance.
Indeed, this latest drama only highlights the urgent need for reform within the DOJ. Rather than acting as neutral arbiters of justice, they consistently resemble a bunch of partisans barely restraining their glee at the prospect of taking down a political rival. The Democrats have failed to understand that their hardline tactics are no longer effective; they simply reinforce why Trump was elected in the first place. The sad truth is that this will go down as another chapter in the ongoing saga of partisanship, one destined to be relegated to the dustbin of political history.
