During a television broadcast on Thursday, former federal special counsel Jack Smith expressed deep concern regarding the current state of American jurisprudence. Appearing on the MS NOW program hosted by Nicolle Wallace, the former prosecutor described the current political landscape as an extraordinary threat to the nation’s legal foundations. He characterized the ongoing institutional shift as a unique challenge, calling it an assault “different in kind and scope to anything I’ve seen in my lifetime.” This marked his initial public media appearance since stepping down from his federal post in January 2025.

    I just can’t take anyone who was a part of the administration who tee’d up Trump 2.0 seriously. They didn’t take their jobs seriously. They are not serious people.

      My dude, Jack Smith was appointed in November of 2022 and filed the first indictment in June of 2023. You can call out Garland and Biden for slow-walking it, but not Smith.
