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!
BREAKING: LOL! Hunter Biden hilariously trolls Trump with a fake Nobel Peace Prize nomination — and his reasons have MAGA screeching with rage.
This is an absolute bullseye...
"I am officially nominating Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) for the Nobel Peace Prize," Hunter wrote on X. "No President in History has ended the same war so many times. Our Dear Leader has ended the war with Iran at least 38 times by CNN’s count.
"No President has ever done this before," he added. "And he is nowhere near finished ending it. It’s a record worthy of the Nobel committee’s recognition. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
The joke, of course, is that Trump has repeatedly promised that a lasting peace with Iran is within reach, only for the negotiations to once again break down and the bombing to resume. There's also the added absurdity of nominating Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize for ending a pointless war of aggression that he launched on Israel's behalf.
You don't get credit for solving a problem that you yourself created!
The simple truth is that Donald Trump is the most warmongering President in modern American history. He slaughtered countless innocent men, women, and children overseas and accomplished nothing in the process. Awarding him a Nobel Peace Prize would delegitimize the prize for all time.
Republicans on social media are predictably incensed over Hunter's joke, with many MAGA accounts responding to his post with personal insults as well as attacks on his father.
That's how you know he hit the mark.
Trump's obsession with the prize is well documented. He aggressively lobbied for one in vain and hates that Barack Obama won the prize. For a racist like Trump, the idea that a Black man could exceed him in so many tangible ways is unthinkable. He deserves to be trolled relentlessly!
Please ❤️ and share if you're a fan of Hunter!
I’m intrigued by the idea of Kyle and Karl joining to do a podcast. If they could find a third partner named, say, Kevin or Keith they could call it the KKK Show.
Clarence Thomas argued the 14th Amendment was written narrowly for former enslaved people and doesn't apply broadly today. Using that same logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets and doesn't apply to AR-15's, but somehow, he's never made that argument.
Labor just put the best treatment for cystic fibrosis ( 1 baby born with it every 4 days) which was $250k a year, on the PBS so it's $25 a script now or $7.70 on concession. Thats a LOT of voting age parents breathing a huge sigh of relief right now.
This kind of stuff from Paul Hogan, and the latest two polls showing significant drop for One Nation feel a bit like the moment that Australia looked a little more closely at Senator Hanson and went, "Yeah, nah..."
#Auspol#Discuss
Everyone needs to see this!
Bill Maher to JD Vance: "Here's my deal breaker for your side. Okay. Under Trump, you guys have two outcomes in an election can be. Either we win, or they cheat it. That shit has to stop. "
Yes Mr Kitney, One Nation is a danger to Australia’s public health. Anti-vax; 8 year Medicare delay for new arrivals, axe the TGA. Frightening. Conspiracists. See this video statement re PHON health policy 👇
‘The media has a role in this…They have treated her as entertainment & consistently given her a platform. They have failed to fact-check her in real time, allowing her lies to hang around unchallenged.’ Indeed.

#Insiders Speers "will voters forget their anger over Labor's tax changes?"
Good start, dickhead. We understand framing. The only anger was mostly from whinging property investors, real estate spiv, financial brokers and the usual right wing nutbags. #auspol
One way to push back against an authoritarian is to mock him.
trump is so weak and insecure he is now demanding our respect.
So I’m sending him my favorite picture below.
