Jack Smith, the former special counsel who brought two federal indictments against President Donald Trump, said he believes the rule of law is under unprecedented attack during his first televised interview since resigning from the Justice Department.
Speaking to MS NOW’s Nicolle Wallace on Thursday, Smith said the attack is “different in kind and scope to anything I’ve seen in my lifetime.”
“I have investigated cases focusing on the facts and law throughout my career. We did this case the same way, under the same standards,” said Smith, who brought charges accusing Trump of interfering in the 2020 election.....
Smith sharply criticized the DOJ, arguing that it can no longer perform “the basic things you need to do to represent the American people in court,” adding that the department is “just not effective at doing their job anymore.”
Pressed on whether he feared speaking out, Smith responded defiantly, saying that he would “not be intimidated.”
“There’s no way in the world if the thought was to go after me, so that I wouldn’t speak up about the corruption that’s happening or speak up to defend these agents and prosecutors — that is a grave miscalculation. There is no way I’m going to be intimidated,” he said.
