That man deserves everything that is coming to him.

Julie Kelly's avatar

And then some. Because my fear is what's coming to him won't be enough.

ron's avatar

I wish and hope it at least costs him some of his millions. Imprisonment is, I'm afraid, a dream too far.

Glen Henderson's avatar

I suspect you’re right.

Still - as we saw with Gen. Flynn - there is truth in the adage that “the process is the punishment.”

May Jack Smith go completely broke and his reputation be ruined for all time.

ron's avatar

Unfortunately, he will always be an hero in demoncrats' and rinos' eyes.

Julie Kelly's avatar

Yes, I love the idea he is spending lots of money on lawyers. I doubt these big shooters are representing him pro bono. Nothing in it for them to do so.

Richard Luthmann's avatar

He's being propped up. If he folds like a cheap tent, so does the legitimacy of his witch hunt.

Steve's avatar

And More!!!

Peter Wrenshall's avatar

Except as Julie Kelly pointed out, there is a good chance that nothing in terms of criminal justice will be coming to him. Burning through much of his personal assets to cover legal expenses will be the only thing guaranteed to happen to Smith. We are better off to hope he will lose whatever reputation he has as well as getting a permanent and ignominious place in history.

Julie Kelly's avatar

He's also not as loved in Dem circles as he may want people to believe. Dems blame him (and Garland) for delays in the indictments that prevented Trump from going to trial before the election. Not a lot of love there.

Richard Luthmann's avatar

The witch hunter is now learning what targets feel like. Smith and his media bodyguards want “weaponization” to mean only accountability for left-wing prosecutors, never raids, gag orders, subpoenas, privilege breaches, venue traps, or criminalizing politics against Trump. Spare us. The real scandal is that Smith’s operation swept up congressional communications, mishandled privileged material, ignored constitutional protections, and then danced around the truth when Congress asked questions. He will be indicted soon enough if DOJ has the nerve and the evidence holds. Until then, every MSNBC appearance is jury-pool conditioning disguised as moral outrage.

Unfortunately, malignant narcissists like Jack Smith will always see themselves as a victim. By definition, he lacks the ability of self reflection.

Julie Kelly's avatar

He definitely believes his own BS!

Julie Kelly's avatar

Richard, I could not have said it better myself!

War Eagle's avatar

If anyone deserves prosecution it is Smith. Some sources say he spent over 50 million of taxpayers money to go after Trump. It has now been proven he lied to congress and now must be held accountable. I do not want just the process as punishment I want the full sentence to be given to him, hopefully it is an unbiased judge and jury unlike all the activists judges who also have TDS.

Julie Kelly's avatar

He spent at least that much. Add to that what DOJ spent on all of the investigations (Trump, Arctic Frost, etc) for two years BEFORE Smith was appointed. I bet the real total is near $100 million.

War Eagle's avatar

WOW! Thanks Julie you are the absolute best!

Lisa Hill-Arenz's avatar

Unfortunately, lying to Congress is the tip of what they really were doing! It's crumbs compared to what they have done …

War Eagle's avatar

I wholeheartedly agree, there are many things a lot worse we do not know about

Rev. Karlan Fairchild, MDiv's avatar

Thanks for this piece about that execrable creature (he shall be nameless), Julie. And to think that he has the balls to complain about the "weaponization of the DOJ," considering what he did to President Trump for four years. I just wish that the Trump DOJ could get a change of venue to the Southern District of Florida to indict and try this creature. But, I know full well, that that won't happen, at least in this case. Perhaps we can be treated to that one day if and when he's indicted for the bogus raid on Mar-a-Lago and the mishandling of top secret papers fiasco. One can only be hopeful that he will get his comeuppance one day soon. But, as you noticed, he's being forced to pay some high-priced attorneys because, as we know, often the process is the punishment.

Joe Digenova is in charge of an investigation of some sort in Florida. He has convened a grand jury in Florida, it may be a giant RICO investigation against Bidens DOJ.

Julie Kelly's avatar

Fingers crossed! But time is ticking...if Dems win the House, they will cut funding and investigate the investigators.

A.Jean's avatar

One can only hope and wish that what you said comes to fruition!

Julie Kelly's avatar

Karlan, I am hoping Smith is part of the wide ranging conspiracy case in southern FLA. The MAL raid and subsequent (mis)handling of materials seized during the raid on Smith's watch is a natural nexus. We shall see!

Rev. Karlan Fairchild, MDiv's avatar

Agree, Julie. It would be a tremendous reversal to have this execrable creature indicted, arrested, tried and convicted for the same reason that his bogus grand jury in DC indicted President Trump for handling material which he was authorized to have in his very well guarded Mar-a-Lago estate, wouldn't it? Someone ultimately must be held accountable, don't you agree?

Jccan's avatar

"The man often described by the media as “fearless,” “calm,” and “apolitical” during his two-year reign of terror as Merrick Garland’s handpicked lawfare goon..."

Thank you Julie for your description of the goon!

👏👏👏

Julie Kelly's avatar

I could have gone on and on...the Subway sandwich "breaking news" is my all time favorite media swoon for Smith. Just gross.

Daniel Sullivan's avatar

Another good characterization is by Article III Project founder Mike Davis, equating Smith to a "political scud missile" launched by the Biden White House.

Julie Kelly's avatar

Mike always comes up with the doozies!

Randy Hill's avatar

Per Mike Davis, Joe Digenova has two grand juries assembled in S Florida. Because the Mar-a-Lago raid took place in S Florida that’s where he would be tried, not in the swamps of DC. There’s a long way to go before this goon gets what’s coming to him but at least we have a fighting chance in S Florida.

Randy Hill's avatar

We can tell Julie’s every and phrase was carefully chosen for maximum sarcasm.

Julie Kelly's avatar

I needed more!

Randy Hill's avatar

Sorry… every word and phrase were carefully chosen…

Brent Buckley's avatar

Jack Smith is a Democrat party political machine thug. One hopes (but doubts0 he will be indicted, tried and convicted for the crimes he has committed against the American people. His appearance on ridiculous Saturday Night Live skit known as MSNow reveals him to be a party goon. The ever imbecilic mindless Democrat Party shill Nicole Wallace was the perfect useful idiot to do the interview.

Julie Kelly's avatar

Always on point!

Dennis Bickford's avatar

The hunter is now the hunted, these people think what they did under the last administration was ok, they thought all they had to do was put President Trump in jail for 60 years and they would not get caught, they did this at what ever it was going to cost now they are paying for it…

Julie Kelly's avatar

Dennis, they never saw Trump raising from the ashes of Jan 6 let alone win the nomination again and win the presidency back. That's why they abused the system with such abandon. But hand it to Smith--he went down to the wire with the cases even signing his name (illegally) to the Florida documents case as special counsel after Cannon disqualified him in the matter. Now he's running his big stupid mouth, finally showing the (not brainwashed) public exactly who he is.

Julie Kelly

I love your work, you’re a true journalist and I’m proud to say I support you! We need you and all the true journalists that love America to keep fighting.. god bless you and stay safe

Diana Woodward's avatar

A President of the United States, Biden, thought it good and patriotic to put his opposition party competitor for the same job, in prison. He talked about it all the time. The very reason for running for a second term, guaranteed the win, when Trump is in jail. He will go down in history as another tin pot dictator.

Julie Kelly's avatar

And now, thanks to release of the audio tapes with his ghostwriter, a criminal who got away with it.

Holly S.'s avatar

I wonder, Julie, if Smith is paying for his well connected lawyers or if they are doing it pro bono? Is there a way to find out? After all, Smith is like the left’s little lapdog, willing to perform all sorts of tricks and slights of hand to legally torture Trump and drag 40 some elected officials into the mess, too. Also, I think Nicole Wallace (retching sound!) should rename her show “Kangaroo Court” because all she does is give anti-Trumpers an outlet for their lies and 24/7 TDS eruptions. MSNOW has no other purpose!

Julie Kelly's avatar

Holly, I know Smith was busted shortly before he resigned for receiving about $100k in pro bono legal counsel. It's hard for me to believe these big names are representing him for free now because there is no upside (his career is basically over) and plenty of downside (retaliation by Trump adm.) But who knows? They are all so incestuous it's hard to guess.

Carolyn's avatar

Military tribunal is who I would like to handle him. He and his "friends" committed treason against we the people

Julie Kelly's avatar

Yes, Carolyn, we should send him back to the Hague but not as a prosecutor this time but as a defendant!

thomas Dreyer's avatar

Since part of his remit was the documents that Trump kept at his residence in FL, why wouldn’t the DOJ convene a Grand Jury in FL?

Julie Kelly's avatar

Two grand juries in FLA. One in the courthouse run by Judge Cannon. Fingers crossed!

I am guessing that part of Smith's cable news tour is a way to defend himself publicly prior to any charges. Then he will use his comments for a selective/vindictive prosecution motion to dismiss any indictment. He is evil and egotistical and corrupt but not entirely stupid.

Pat Smith's avatar

We should all enjoy the "gratifying scene" for now. For surely that is all we can expect. No DC grand jury will ever indict Saint Smith of the Hague.

Julie Kelly's avatar

I fear you are correct. So hopefully this can be folded into a bigger case in FLA.

But as I noted above, there isn't a lot of love for Jack Smith among Dems. He and Garland are viewed as failures for not working fast enough to bring charges against the president and get him to trial before the election.

Pat Smith's avatar

Of DoJ can bring charges in Florida, it is a completely different story. Wouldn't it be grand if this ended up in Judge Cannon's court? Of course, she would recuse herself, since, unlike the hacks in DC, she understands what a conflict is.

Marilyn F's avatar

Mr Smith goes to jail 🎬

Julie Kelly's avatar

Fingers crossed, Marilyn!

Daniel Sullivan's avatar

Hopefully the DOJ can secure an indictment on the false statements charge to lay the groundwork for superseding indictments resulting from the subpoena probes. I would love to see Smith hit with the same charges he brought against Trump: conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government and conspiracy against rights. If the DOJ can find coordination between Smith and the Biden White House, that would implicate them in a conspiracy to rig the 2024 election using a fraudulent “independent” special council investigation.

Maybe the public will finally understand where Smith and company stood on this basic question posed by a great moral statesman:

"Are we going to be a nation that lives not by the light of the truth but in the shadow of lies?" -- Joe Biden (on the one-year anniversary of January 6)

Julie Kelly's avatar

I also think an obstruction of Congress charge (similar to what Jordan referred on Tom Windom) might fly. It was clear during the questioning that House investigators were attempting to fund out whether or not special counsel's office obtained Congressional text messages. Smith knew they had but failed to disclose. Might be a stronger case than false statements.

A.Jean's avatar

Seriously, LYING to, what, over 40 congress people (and others I'm sure), is LYING. At the least, that self involved schlub of a human being (pushing it) should get as much time in prison as both Navarro and Banning did, combined and doubled or trippled!

The creeper knew that LYING under oath is WRONG! Smith worked for the ICC in the Hague, for Pete's sake, If mister smith is gonna try to say HE DIDN'T LIE, I'm betting all of those congress people are going to nail him to the damn wall!

And trying to make Skeletor look better by having him grow facial hair and go to a tanning facility is only going to make him appear better to the Leftist mouthy wo/men of voting age! Sheesh!

J NOLAN's avatar

How can a guy lawyer up then go on a slanted network to plead his case. All kinds of wrong. Puts the lies out there, with no rebuttal. Makes it look like news to the dumbasses in our world, and possible jurors. But I repeat myself.

Julie Kelly's avatar

Actually, the more he opens his trap, the better!

Steve's avatar

I don't like it either,BUT its the constitution.
