Jack Smith hoped to land one final blow in his witch hunt.
It didn’t work out like he planned.
And a Fox & Friends host gave Jack Smith one reality check that left him in bad shape.
Jack Smith’s final report was dismantled by Fox & Friends co-host
Former Special Counsel Jack Smith came up empty in his lawfare against President-elect Donald Trump.
He raced to put Trump on trial before the election to throw him in jail and tip the election to Democrats.
But Smith wasn’t able to get his sham criminal cases over January 6 and classified documents to trial before the election.
The cases were withdrawn because of a longstanding Justice Department policy against prosecuting a sitting President.
Smith wanted to get one final dig in against Trump when he released a 137-page report that claimed he would have convicted the President-elect if he could have taken his case to trial.
The report featured allegations about Trump’s actions after the 2020 Election that were designed to make him look bad.
But only Democrats and their media allies care about January 6 at this point.
Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade broke down Smith’s report with former federal prosecutor Katie Cherkasky.
Kilmeade dismissed the report as “not a big deal.”
“It’s not news when a prosecutor says he would have got a conviction,” Kilmeade stated.
Jack Smith preached to the choir
Cherkasky pointed out that it was easy for Smith to claim he would have won a case that never went to trial.
“This is nothing more than a prosecution on paper,” Cherkasky said. “It’s every prosecutor’s dream. You have no rebuttal. You have no cross-examination. You don’t actually have to prove this case. And in fact, nothing in this report is particularly new.”
She called the report another effort at lawfare by Smith.
“Jack Smith had released the indictment, the superseding indictment,” Cherkasky added. “All the same facts are there. The American people overwhelmingly voted for President Trump, knowing all of what he claims would have sustained this conviction on these unprecedented charges. So, quite frankly, this is just a partisan effort at lawfare, yet again couched in legal jargon.”
Co-host Lawrence Jones noted that Smith’s report highlighted Trump telling protestors on January 6 to “fight, fight, fight.”
“My mind goes to the most iconic moment of the president, which is when he was attempted to be assassinated and he said, ‘Fight, fight, fight.’ So how does he use that as justification?” Jones asked.
Cherkasky pointed out that all of Smith’s arguments on paper would have been contested in a trial.
“Well, there is obviously no smoking gun evidence here. As you pointed out, all of these supposed pieces of evidence are subject to interpretation, which is exactly the point of our adversarial system,” Cherkasky explained. “Exactly the point of actually confronting the prosecution’s evidence with the rebuttal, such as what you just mentioned.”
Jack Smith’s final shot across the bow at Donald Trump ended up being a dud like the rest of his lawfare.
