(TheProudRepublic.com) – The man behind the relentless pursuit of Trump Special Counsel Jack Smith is planning to quit as President-elect Donald Trump’s triumphant return to the White House emerges.
Sources close to Smith revealed that he intends to step down before Trump’s inauguration on January 20 in order to avoid being fired “within two seconds” of Trump taking office.
This prompt exit comes after Smith’s two cases against the president, which have cost American taxpayers a staggering $50 million, are nearing their inevitable collapse.
Smith’s cases against Trump focused on classified documents and alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election. However, these politically motivated charges have faced significant setbacks.
Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the documents case, forcing Smith to appeal to the 11th Circuit Court. Meanwhile, the January 6 case has been delayed, with Judge Tanya Chutkan granting Smith a one-month extension after Trump’s recent election victory.
Smith’s resignation comes as House Republicans have requested the preservation of communications from those involved in the Trump cases, signaling potential investigations into the weaponization of the justice system against a sitting president.
Although Trump remains president-elect, the January 6 case would extend well into his presidency if it were to go forward. He said during his campaign that if elected, he would fire Smith in ‘two seconds.’
Trump’s promise to fire Smith upon taking office speaks volumes about the lack of credibility in these investigations.
It is clear that Smith’s actions were part of a broader attempt by Democrats to use the justice system as a political weapon against their opponents. Now, with Trump’s return to power imminent, Smith is scrambling to save face.
Before his departure, the special counsel is expected to file a report detailing his investigations, which Attorney General Merrick Garland will release.
This report will likely be nothing more than a last-ditch effort to justify the millions of taxpayer dollars wasted on this political vendetta.
Moreover, it is worth noting that the DOJ policy prevents the criminal prosecution of a sitting president, further highlighting the futility of Smith’s efforts.
Trump’s impending return to the White House signals a new era of accountability. With House Republicans already calling for the preservation of evidence related to these cases, it is likely that those responsible for this witch hunt will soon face scrutiny of their own.
