Special Counsel Jack Smith who brought cases against President-elect Donald Trump for his handling of classified documents and his actions after his election defeat to President Joe Biden will face consequences for his actions.
Former federal prosecutor Andrew Cherkasky said that Smith and other prosecutors will face investigations “because of the huge cost and ultimate failure” of the prosecutions, The Daily Caller reported.
“Whether that yields findings of criminality is unlikely. However, I think it will find that Smith’s novel legal approach was fraught with issues that should have led a reasonable prosecutor to decline prosecution,” he said to the Daily Caller News Foundation in an exclusive interview. “Smith is already leaving his special counsel post, but I anticipate some of the lawyers working under him will also be forced out of the [Department of Justice] DOJ for engaging in a legally unsound prosecution.”
“There is a lot of evidence that the congressional Jan. 6 committee intentionally avoided evidence beneficial to Trump’s position, and if Smith did the same, his conduct could be grounds for more severe consequences,” he said.
The Heritage Oversight Project said it was preparing a “a model indictment” against Smith.
