Staff Reports
Special counsel Jack Smith has apparently been busy with a brand new report that he claims stands for “the rule of law.” While it’s ironic that a bureaucrat feels the need to champion the law, especially when it involves going after the duly elected President of the United States, this report aims to add another chapter to the saga of the 2020 election that continues to consume Washington, D.C. With Trump gearing up for another term, the timing couldn’t be more curious.
Smith’s report, framing Trump’s post-election maneuvers as a series of deceitful actions, has all the hallmarks of a political hit job rather than a genuine concern for democracy. It boldly asserts that Trump’s supposed “lies” about the election were deployed with malice to disrupt the sacred “peaceful transfer of power.” What’s more alarming is the insistence that, had the voters not handed Trump the keys to the White House again, there would have been a significant case for conviction. This raises eyebrows and questions about who really is calling the shots. It seems there’s more energy in the prosecutorial bullpen than in the actual election results.
Remember when they said everything would calm down after the election? Wild to see Jack Smith drop this explosive report just days before inauguration. Been glued to my screen since midnight reading this thing.

In an intriguing twist, Smith and his team have undoubtedly shown their knack for theatrical timing. Just days before Trump’s scheduled return to office, they unleashed this report, which serves to highlight Trump’s so-called frantic attempts to cling to power. It’s almost as if they wanted to remind everyone of a dark period in American politics—all while glossing over the fact that voters made their choice clear. Instead of reflecting on the will of the people, the focus remains on villainizing Trump in a manner that seems more consistent with a script from a two-bit drama than a sober legal assessment.
The report also provides an interesting glimpse into Trump’s strategy, revealing that he used social media to rally support, a tactic that most politicians have utilized to some extent. Yet, oddly enough, this behavior is lamented as intimidation by Smith, despite the fact that it’s a common play in the political playbook. Ironically, it’s also the same social media apparatus that helped Trump rise to prominence and connect with millions of supporters—all while Smith contemplates whether or not to slap a gag order on him. Perhaps it’s a testament to Trump’s enduring influence that his communication channels are being taken more seriously than a standard political maneuver.
Finally, the special counsel’s office admits defeat, as the indictment against Trump has been significantly undercut by the Supreme Court and the long-standing Justice Department rules. If anything, this speaks volumes more about the desperate times that the opposition is willing to go to discredit a political rival who remains a looming presence in American politics. Instead of focusing on actual governance or issues that matter to everyday Americans, the left seems intent on dragging Trump back into the courtroom. If this is what standing up for the rule of law looks like, perhaps it’s time for a serious reevaluation of what “justice” truly entails. The American public—or at least that portion that voted for Trump—seems ready to move on, leaving behind the elaborate soap opera that the special counsel and his team seem to thrive on.
