That man deserves everything that is coming to him.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

"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!

👏👏👏

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

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.

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

Sorry… every word and phrase were carefully chosen…

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

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!

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?

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…

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.

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.

Marilyn F's avatar

Mr Smith goes to jail 🎬

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.

Steve's avatar

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

Julie, is it in the works to go after Chutkan, Matthew Freaking Graves, Engoron, James, Bragg, Merchan (and family), Monaco, Gina Haspel, Victoria Nuland, Lisa Page, Strzok, Marc Elias, Sussman (again), Willis and Hot Dog Nathan, Barr and about 51 others (at least)?

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:
