BREAKING: Jack Smith breaks his silence with his first interview since resigning — and says that "we are facing an attack on the rule of law" under Trump. And he was just getting started... "Well, you know, I was a career prosecutor," the former Special Counsel told MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace. "I worked in the Justice Department and other prosecutors offices for near on 30 years. And I don't know if your viewers know this but I worked in Republican and Democratic administrations over and over." "I was the acting U.S. Attorney in the first Trump administration in Nashville, Tennessee," he explained. "And that administration appointed me to a position running a war crimes tribunal for the State Department. So I have investigated cases focusing on the facts and the law throughout my career. We did this case the same way under the same standards." Smith has every right to defend himself on this front. His investigations into Trump's rampant criminality were conducted fairly, impartially, and professionally. For his troubles, he found himself relentlessly attacked by our crooked President until he became Public Enemy #1 for a large, deranged swath of the country. This interview represents a small step towards reclaiming his legacy from the smears. Smith ultimately brought charges against Trump for interfering in the 2020 election and for smuggling classified documents down to Mar-a-Lago, but they were dismissed to the outrage of many after Trump won the election. "And you know the thing that I think important for your viewers to know is those standards are not meant to change from one administration to the next," Smith continued. "And in my experience until now they haven't. And so, you know, I think we are facing an attack on the rule of law that is different in kind and scope to anything I've seen in my lifetime." "And one of the reasons I wanted to be with you here today in advance of the 4th of July celebrating the birth of a country that we all love is to celebrate the public servants who do this work, the people I spent my career working shoulder-to-shoulder with," said Smith. "I loved being a prosecutor and part of it was I loved being around these sort of people," he went on. "And it angers me to see them victimized, to see them demonized for doing their jobs. I think it's really important that we stand up for them and let them know that there are a lot of people out there who back them and who are with them. "And that's not just the people who've been targeted and fired for no reason for doing their jobs," said Smith. "It's also the people still in the Justice Department today. There are a lot of good career prosecutors who right now are working under incredibly difficult circumstances and they're still trying to do the right thing. And these are not self-promoters, these are not people who are going to go out and you know crow about their achievements. We need to hold them up and celebrate them because they're part of what makes this country great." It cannot be stressed enough just how much damage Trump has inflicted on our justice system. He's proven that some people are simply above the law in this country, that Presidents can commit crimes with impunity so long as their party controls Congress. He weaponized the entire Justice Department to target his political enemies to such an extent that its credibility may never recover. Now, more than ever, we need people like Jack Smith to stand up and speak the truth, consequences and retribution be damned. Please ❤️ and share if you're grateful to Jack Smith for his service!
