Jack Smith lurched into a Washington courtroom in September, fully aware all eyes had turned to him.
After spending at least $50 million in tax dollars to bring two unprecedented indictments against Donald Trump, Special Counsel Jack Smith should get his turn under prying eyes.
Surrounded by a team of federal prosecutors and guarded by a government-paid security detail, Smith, a lanky man with a scruffy beard and ill-fitting suit, stood behind the government’s table with arms folded.
He slowly turned around with a partial scowl to appraise the audience—mostly reporters and D.C. residents eager to watch the restart of his January 6-related case against Donald Trump—to make sure he was noticed.
That appearance, perhaps unbeknownst to him at the time, looks like Smith’s last time in a federal courtroom as the special counsel prosecuting Trump.
Weak Republicans in Congress undoubtedly will resist efforts to investigate and audit Smith but Trump should ignore them.
Expenses include a protective detail for Smith; travel expenses; and millions in unspecified “contractual services.” Time to see who and what companies profited off the special counsel grift.
He did not speak during the proceedings.
