Jack Smith has resigned from his role at the Department of Justice (DOJ) to seek more profitable opportunities. His work focused on gathering evidence related to alleged violations by President Donald Trump concerning a law meant to prevent the KKK from wearing masks on highways. Smith's report, regardless of any legal proceedings, is expected to be highlighted in major newspapers.
Unlike Robert Mueller, who gained some fame despite being perceived as out of touch, Smith didn't achieve the same level of popularity among Trump critics. Many followers of MSNBC and other outlets had already realized that Smith's efforts were unlikely to succeed. He may now forge a new career in media, hinting at a continued role in legal issues related to Trump.
Smith might end up relying on legal tactics that could appear weak, as Washington spectators have anticipated little success from him. Should he have been more effective in his role, he could have been known for taking down significant leaders. Instead, he may have to continue long-standing legal actions against Slobodan Milosevic, who passed away in 2006.
In summary, Smith's resignation marks the transition away from his investigative role, but its impact on the wider political landscape remains uncertain. Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, emphasizes the difficulties of pursuing legal cases against deceased figures, indicating that they present less resistance.
