What did Jack Smith know about the illegalities in the Obama Administration and when did he know them?

Who Is Jack Smith The Trump Special Prosecutor?

The Special Prosecutor appointed to oversee the investigation into Donald Trump has a background of prosecuting ‘sensitive’ issues ranging from corruption to genocide. Now he has Donald Trump. Smith is to be in charge of supervising the criminal investigation into whether or not an individual or entity interfered with the transfer of power after the 2020 presidential election as well as the probe into whether classified records and documents taken from Trump’s Florida home. The announcement of Smith’s appointment by Merrick Garland comes three days after Trump launched his third run for the White House and is apparently designed to avoid any perceived conflict of interest on Garland’s part. Trump has said that he will not “partake” in the special counsel’s probes. “It is not acceptable. It is so unfair. It is so political,” he told Fox News.

Who Is Jack Smith?

Jack Smith is the recently appointed appointed special counsel, currently served at Kosovo Specialist Chambers and Specialist Prosecutor’s Office in the International Criminal Court at The Hague, Netherlands, where he investigates war crimes cases. Previously, he worked as the chief of the Public Integrity Section for the US Department of Justice from 2010 and 2015. The Department of Justice said that Smith conducted what they said was “sensitive investigations” of foreign government members, militia and others accused of war crimes, crimes against humanity and other such offences. His work with the DoJ involved his handling cases like bribing government officials and election crimes, investigating and prosecuting elected and appointed officials.

In 2015 Smith and his legal team prosecuted Virginia’s former governor Robert McDonnell on various corruption charges (overturned by SCOTUS) and also CIA officer Jeffrey Sterling for obstruction of justice and leaking classified information. When he left the DoJ in 2015 he served as the First Assistant United States Attorney and Acting United States Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee. He then worked in the private sector, serving as the vice president and head of litigation for the Hospital Corporation of America; the nation’s largest non-government health care providers.

Jeff Sessions names new U.S. Attorney to Middle Tennessee federal prosecutor's office to replace interim attorney Jack Smith

Sept 5, 2017

Attorney General Jeff Sessions has appointed an acting U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee, replacing previous interim U.S. Attorney Jack Smith who announced his retirement last month. The Department of Justice announced Tuesday morning that Mark H. Wildasin had been appointed to the position after serving as civil chief in the U.S. Attorney’s Nashville office since January 2006.He will serve as an acting U.S. Attorney for 120 days, or until the U.S. Senate confirms a presidential appointee, making him the third appointment this year as Middle Tennessee's chief federal prosecutor. Who is Mark Wildasin? As chief of the office’s Civil Division, Wildasin supervised assistant U.S. attorneys tasked with the litigation of civil cases in which the federal government was the plaintiff seeking to recover damages. He was also responsible for asset forfeiture and collecting debts owed to the United States. Wildasin’s office reported that his team collected and recovered a “record number of debts and financial settlements on behalf of the government.” In 2011, Wildasin was detailed to the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, where he worked for a year as an attorney advisor in the Office of the Justice Attaché while continuing to serve as civil chief. Before going to work in federal prosecutor’s office, Wildasin was a member of Waller, Lansden, Dortch & Davis, a Nashville law firm specializing in trademark, copyright antitrust and other aspects of commercial litigation, the Department of Justice reported. He practiced similar intellectual property litigation as a partner in Coudert Brothers’ San Francisco officer and was previously a clerk for Thomas A. Higgins, U.S. District Judge for the Middle District of Tennessee. Wildasin received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Duke University and a law degree from Vanderbilt Law School in 1991, where he worked as research editor for the Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law.

Trump's replacements of prosecutors

Smith, who was appointed to the interim position in March after working 16 years for the federal Department of Justice, hasn’t publicly announced what he will do next. He stated in a news release last month he had been “offered an incredible opportunity.” Prior to Smith, the position was held by David Rivera, who announced in March he was resigning as part of President Donald Trump’s administration’s replacement of federal prosecutors appointed under Barack Obama.

Trump Special Counsel Jack Smith's Connection to Michelle Obama Explained

Newly appointed Special Counsel Jack Smith is married to a documentary filmmaker who worked on a 2020 film about former first lady Michelle Obama and donated to President Joe Biden's 2020 campaign. Katy Chevigny worked as a producer on Becoming, according to IMDb, while publicly available records from the Federal Election Commission (FEC) show her previous campaign donations. Chevigny and Smith were married in 2011 and their wedding was reported in the "Class Notes" section of the winter 2012 Harvard Law Bulletin. Smith received his J.D. from Harvard Law School in 1994. The New York Times also noted on November 19 that Smith was married to "a documentary filmmaker" and that they have a daughter.

Smith is a career prosecutor who has been appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland to weigh potential criminal charges against former President Donald Trump. The documentary Becoming focused on the former first lady's 2019 tour promoting her book of the same name. It was described as "an intimate documentary looking at her life, hopes and connection with others." One of the production companies that worked on Becoming was Big Mouth Productions, where Chevigny works as a director and producer. FEC filings also show that Chevigny donated in support of President's Biden campaign twice in the 2020 election cycle. She donated $1,000 to Biden for president on September 20, 2020, and another $1,000 to the Biden Victory Fund on the same day. In both cases, her employer was listed as Big Mouth Productions.

Trump Will Not Cooperate With ‘Sham Investigation,’ Spokesperson Says

Nov 25, 2022 - Epoch Times

Former President Donald Trump has branded as a “sham” a Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation into his handling of classified documents and the Jan. 6 breach. And he won’t cooperate with it, Trump spokesperson Liz Harrington said in an interview that aired on NTD’s Newsmakers on Nov. 23.

On Nov. 15, Trump announced his candidacy for president in 2024. Citing Trump’s announcement as the reason, on Nov. 18, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed a Special Counsel to investigate Trump over Jan. 6 and the classified documents found at Mar-a-Largo. Harrington said the former president won’t cooperate because the DOJ is engaging in a partisan and political “sham investigation” that needs to be shut down and not given credence.

She added that the investigation is nothing more than “an ongoing witch-hunt” played out for seven years. “This announcement comes after only three days after President Trump made his announcement for the White House in 2024. It’s clearly political and this so-called special prosecutor has so many conflicts of interest.”

Jack Smith, the Special Counsel appointed by Garland, is a former career Justice Department prosecutor. After his appointment, Smith stated that he would exercise “independent judgment” and follow only the facts in his investigation. In 2015, Smith and his team prosecuted Virginia’s former Republican Governor, Robert McDonnell, on a series of corruption charges. The Supreme Court later unanimously threw out the conviction. Harrington further noted that then-President Barrack Obama and then-Attorney General Erick Holder appointed Smith to lead a division of the DOJ that went after conservatives with the IRS. Smith is also married to Katy Chevigny, the filmmaker responsible for “Becoming”, a documentary about Michelle Obama. And who allegedly donated to President Joe Biden and Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s campaigns.

When asked what Trump’s legal team is planning in response to the special counsel appointment, Harrington said they would “fight it in every avenue that we can. This is clearly political, this is banana republic territory, and we have to get tough.” She added that when Republicans take back the U.S. House of Representatives in 2023, they can take funding away from the ongoing Trump investigations. She encouraged them to take such a path. Plus, Harrington lobbied that if there’s genuine concern over the peaceful transfer of power, as is being claimed, then Smith needs to investigate Obama. “What they did to sabotage the transfer of power in 2016 to 2017, that was what was so criminal.”

Harrington said during his 2016 campaign, the White House and Hillary Clinton’s campaign spied on Trump, and false allegations surfaced as a result. When Trump first made those allegations, they were highly controversial but have since been proven true. Harrington said the current investigation will be the same and that it’s an illegitimate investigation and “leak factory” designed to “muddy up our campaign and try to damage President Trump with no facts, but just to hurt his campaign in the eyes of the public.” The good news, Harrington stated, is that in her opinion, people are wise to the DOJ’s schemes and view the investigation as a political attack. Because of that, Trump feels comfortable taking every legal action he can. “We are not going to abide by this. Because the people see through it, and they want equal justice under the law.” Harrington didn’t detail exactly what “every legal action” entails.

Special Counsel Says It is Impartial

On Nov. 18, Garland stated in a press release, “Based on recent developments, including the former president’s announcement that he is a candidate for president in the next election, and the sitting president’s stated intention to be a candidate as well, I have concluded that it is in the public interest to appoint a Special Counsel.” Pointedly, Garland appointed Smith to discover whether anyone illegally interfered with the transfer of power after the 2020 election or the certification of the Electoral College vote on Jan. 6 and to oversee the investigation involving classified documents at Mar-a-Largo. Garland stated of Smith’s appointment and impartiality, “Although the Special Counsel will not be subject to the day-to-day supervision of any official of the department, he must comply with the regulations, procedures, and policies of the department.”

Congress Releases $1.7 Trillion, 4,155-Page Omnibus Bill

Congressional appropriators dropped the $1.7 trillion, 4,155-page omnibus spending bill at 1:30 A.M. ET Tuesday, giving lawmakers days to read it before the government shuts down Friday. The bill would fund the government through September 2023 and would boost defense spending by $76 billion, totaling $858 billion. Domestic spending is $773 billion. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has chalked up the higher increase in defense spending compared to domestic spending as a Republican victory, even though Democrats managed to pass their $700 billion Inflation Reduction Act, which boosted domestic expenditures on climate change and other leftist domestic priorities.

Among other priorities, the bill includes:

$45 billion in military and economic aid for Ukraine’s conflict with Russia. This is billions more than the $37 billion Biden requested

$5 billion in earmarks for 3,200 projects

$47 billion for the National Institutes of Health

$1 billion for Peurto Rico’s electrical grid

$600 million to address water issues in Jackson, Mississippi

The Senate version of the Electoral Count Reform Act, which would change the process for lawmakers to object to the certification of the presidential election

Sen. Josh Hawley’s (R-MO) push to have a ban on TikTok on government devices is included in the omnibus

Other priorities that did not make it into the bill include:

Coronavirus aid

Extension of the enhanced Child Tax Credit (CTC)

The SAFE Banking Act, which would allow marijuana businesses to have more access to banking services

A bill to narrow alleged sentencing disparities between crack and powder cocaine

House conservatives swiftly came out against the omnibus spending bill. Thirteen House Republicans wrote a letter to Senate Republicans, urging them to oppose the bill. The lawmakers wrote “…we are obliged to inform you that if any omnibus passes in the remaining days of this Congress, we will oppose and whip opposition to any legislative priority of those senators who vote for this bill – including the… leader.”

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) wrote that not every senator will help congressional leadership “ram” the omnibus through the Senate. Lee asked rhetorically, “This bill has been written in large measure by two retiring senators, one Republican and one Democrat. Why should we move heaven and earth trying to force their priorities on the very people they keep in the dark—all according to two senators’ contrived, manipulative timeline?”

There Musk be some mistake: Elon disputes result of Twitter poll telling him to step down

Elon Musk appeared to cast doubt on a Twitter poll that said he should step down from running the platform. Musk responded to a series of tweets on Monday night from friendly users who suggested the poll results could have been skewed by "bots." "Interesting," Musk replied to a tweet. Musk posted the poll asking users if he should step down on Sunday in the wake of widespread criticism for the banning of a number of reporters. Musk claimed they were booted from the platform for "doxxing" him by publishing the whereabouts of his private jet — something some of them denied doing. Some 57.5% of respondents said Musk should step down, compared to 42.5% who wanted him to remain on board. Many of those journalists had been reporting on the recent suspension of accounts run by a teenager who managed @elonjet, which tracked the movements of Musk's private plane. Prior to posting the latest poll, Musk pledged to deploy polls before implementing "major policy changes" and apologized for not doing so previously.

Jan. 6 committee tears into Ivanka Trump for not being 'forthcoming,' memory woes

The Jan. 6 committee chastised former first daughter Ivanka Trump for not being fully straightforward with the panel in an executive summary released on Monday. Ivanka reportedly sat for deposition before the committee for about eight hours, but during that time she often exhibited a "lack of full recollection of certain issues" and was not always "forthcoming" as some of the other witnesses had been about her father's actions surrounding the Capitol riot, according to the executive summary. “Ivanka Trump was not as forthcoming as Cipollone and others about President Trump’s conduct,” the executive summary said, “Ivanka Trump’s Chief of Staff Julie Radford had a more specific recollection of Ivanka Trump’s actions and statements." One example cited in the summary included that Ivanka dismissed claims she attended her father's Jan. 6 rally at the White House Ellipse "to keep the event on an even keel." "No. I don’t know who said that or where that came from," she told the committee tersely. Her aide, Radford, however, gave a lengthy answer appearing to contradict her, insisting that she thought "she might be able to help calm the situation down." Ivanka Trump was not the only witness the panel knocked for being evasive during questioning. The panel called out several allies of the former president, such as former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, who the committee claimed occasionally acted as if "she was testifying from pre-prepared talking points."

"The Select Committee recognizes of course that most of the testimony we have gathered was given more than a year after January 6th," the executive summary conceded. "Recollections are not perfect, and the Committee expects that different accounts of the same events will naturally vary. Indeed, the lack of any inconsistencies in witness accounts would itself be suspicious. And many witnesses may simply recall different things than others." The panel also emphasized in the summary that Ivanka Trump backed Attorney General William Barr's assessment that there was no evidence of election-altering fraud in the 2020 election. Her remarks were played by the panel during one of its public hearings.

On Monday, the panel revealed it would issue a criminal referral for former President Donald Trump on four categories of criminal conduct: obstruction of an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to make a false statement, and inciting an insurrection. Attorney John Eastman and "others" will also face a criminal referral from the panel to the Justice Department. Such a referral is non-binding and it will ultimately be up to the department to decide whether or not to bring forward charges. Since her departure from the White House, Ivanka Trump has contended she wants to steer clear of politics and focus on her family.

NYC Mayor Admits Migrant 'Crisis' Hitting City Threatens Public Safety

New York City Mayor Eric Adams says the record-setting influx of undocumented migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border could pose a threat to public safety as his city prepares for President Joe Biden's administration to lift COVID-era restrictions on illegal immigration this week. Asked about the topic during a Monday press conference, Adams, the Democratic leader of the nation's largest city, told reporters he is willing to do whatever it takes to deal with the "crisis" level event as it ripples across the city, creating new strains on public services. The mayor has already been battle-tested in his first term by political opponents in red states like Texas who have bussed tens of thousands of undocumented migrants into New York City over the last year. "Every service we provide is going to be impacted by the influx of migrants in our city," Adams said. "It's going to impact education. It's going to impact the dollars we use to clean our streets. It's going to impact our public safety." Facing projected annual costs of more than $1 billion related to asylum seekers, Adams issued an executive order in September refocusing all of the city's emergency services to attend to the influx while calling on both the state and federal government to commit additional financial resources to try and meet the demand for shelter and other services for the new arrivals, including humanitarian shelters and other services. "This is a humanitarian crisis that started with violence and instability in South America and is being accelerated by American political dynamics," Adams said at the time. "Thousands of asylum seekers have been bused into New York City and simply dropped off, without notice, coordination, or care—and more are arriving every day. This crisis is not of our own making, but one that will affect everyone in this city." Adams also suggested the possibility of reopening a controversial "tent city" that was assembled on Randall's Island earlier this year, which closed after significant outcry by immigrants' rights groups and members of the city council who described the site as "inadequate" due to its poor accessibility to city services and its exposure to the cold winds off the East River. However, as the city continues to deal with a concurrent homelessness issue—as well as plans to remove those with severe mental illness from the city's streets and remit them to local hospitals—Adams says they may need to resort to difficult options.

Meanwhile, various state and federal leaders across the country are now bracing for the end of Title 42, a COVID-era measure that took effect under former President Donald Trump's administration, on Wednesday. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued the order to block migrants at the U.S. border, including asylum seekers, from entering the country in order to stop the spread of the disease. The measure also allowed for quicker processing and deportation of undocumented migrants. Critics said the health policy was being used as a blunt tool to prevent migration into the country and was subject to growing criticism for its continued existence after other COVID-19 measures were dropped. "Nothing is off the table in dealing with a crisis. Nothing is off the table," Adams said Monday. "…But leadership is doing difficult things, and whatever I need to do to ensure that we are dealing with a crisis, I'm going to do it in a humane way. And so, if one wants to focus on Randall's Island, that's their right to do so. I need to focus on the totality of the crises that's about to hit our city, and I'm going to need to be prepared for that crisis. And I'm willing to do that."

Ballot Integrity Breached: State Supreme Court Goes Woke, Strikes Down Vital Voter ID Law

The Supreme Court of North Carolina has eroded election integrity in the state by striking down a 2018 state constitutional amendment requiring voters to show a valid photo ID before being allowed to cast their ballots. In its 89-page ruling Friday, the high court decided 4-3 that while Senate Bill 824 requiring voter ID appeared neutral on its face, its intent was to discriminate against North Carolina’s black voters. Associate Justice Anita Earls, a Democratic former social justice warrior, wrote in the majority opinion of Holmes v. Moore that “the statute was motivated by a racially discriminatory purpose.” “The provisions enacted … were formulated with an impermissible intent to discriminate against African American voters in violation of the North Carolina Constitution,” she said. Earls, who has taught African-American studies at Duke University, is an acolyte of former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, an appointee of the 44th president, Barack Obama. Earls is also a friend of left-wing activist Ben Jealous, a former president of the NAACP, which has claimed that requiring voter ID is “racist” because it disenfranchises black Americans.

Essentially, Earls and the three other liberal justices on the North Carolina Supreme Court promoted the idea that black people are uniquely incapable of getting ID cards, either through some form of employment or via state driver’s licenses. Not only is this ruling a breach of ballot integrity, but it’s also based on a racist stereotype that infantilizes an entire demographic. Ironically, the state high court’s liberal majority admitted in its ruling that most voters have at least one form of identification — all while insisting that a voter ID law disenfranchises black voters. “While most people who have one of the acceptable forms of photo identification do not run the risk of being disenfranchised by this statute, the experiences of plaintiffs and other witnesses at trial showed that for themselves and others like them, the risk of disenfranchisement is very real,” Earls wrote.

Trump shrugs off Jan. 6 panel’s criminal referral: ‘What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger’

Former President Donald Trump brushed off the House Jan. 6 committee’s referral to the Department of Justice that he face criminal charges for his actions leading up to the 2021 Capitol riot. “These folks don’t get it that when they come after me, people who love freedom rally around me. It strengthens me. What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger,” Trump wrote in a statement posted on his Truth Social account. “Americans know that I pushed for 20,000 troops to prevent violence on Jan 6, and that I went on television and told everyone to go home….,” the 76-year-old former commander-in-chief added. Trump compared the bipartisan panel’s criminal referral Monday to the article of impeachment brought against him by Congress — twice — during his presidency. “The people understand that the Democratic Bureau of Investigation, the DBI, are out to keep me from running for president because they know I’ll win and that this whole business of prosecuting me is just like impeachment was — a partisan attempt to sideline me and the Republican Party,” Trump wrote.

The House select committee investigating the events of Jan. 6 recommended to the DOJ that Trump be charged with inciting or assisting an insurrection, obstruction of an official proceeding, conspiracy to make false statements to investigators, and conspiracy to defraud the US government. The panel had said it uncovered evidence that Trump pushed claims he knew were false about the 2020 presidential election in an effort to change the election’s outcome. Trump suggested the House’s second impeachment against him means he can’t be charged for the crimes the panel has accused him of — citing “Double Jeopardy.”

Trump responded to the charges on Truth Social. “The Fake charges made by the highly partisan Unselect Committee of January 6th have already been submitted, prosecuted, and tried in the form of Impeachment Hoax # 2. I WON convincingly. Double Jeopardy anyone!” he wrote. The former president previously floated the unfounded legal theory in November, two days after announcing the launch of his 2024 White House campaign. While the panel’s referral is largely symbolic, the committee’s probe and recommendation of charges can be used by the DOJ to pursue a case against Trump, who so far is the only person to announce his candidacy in the 2024 presidential election.

FBI paid Twitter back more than $3M for doing its dirty work on users, email shows

The FBI reimbursed Twitter to the tune of more than $3 million as it pushed the social media company to ban accounts and target so-called “foreign influence” operations, the latest installment of the “Twitter Files” revealed on Monday. In an email dated Feb. 10, 2021, an unidentified Twitter employee told then-deputy general counsel Jim Baker and then-general counsel Sean Edgett that “we have collected $3,415,323 since October 2019!” The email, published by independent journalist Michael Shellenberger, explained that Twitter’s Safety, Content & Law Enforcement (SCALE) division had instituted a “reimbursement program” in exchange for devoting staff hours to “processing requests from the FBI.” The message added that Twitter had opted not to exercise its right of reimbursement prior to October 2019, though it did not say why. The email notes that the funds will be used by Twitter on “[law enforcement]-related projects” including “LE training, tooling, etc.” The reports by Shellenberger and fellow independent journalists Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss, have revealed extensive collaboration and employee overlap between Twitter and the FBI, who Taibbi reported last week treated the social media company as a “subsidiary” and repeatedly reported supposed “misinformation.”

In the sixth installment of the Twitter Files, published Friday, Taibbi revealed that the bureau was so aggressive in sending Twitter “possible violative content” to review that an employee described one set of materials as a “monumental undertaking” that required several colleagues to pitch in and help. On Monday, Shellenberger reported that the FBI and other law enforcement agencies repeatedly primed Twitter’s former head of trust and safety Yoel Roth to dismiss The Post’s bombshell October 2020 report on Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop as a Russian “hack and leak” operation. The files reveal the FBI could communicate with top Twitter executives through multiple channels, including email accounts and specially built encrypted portals. The bureau would often send the company lists of users they wanted investigated for terms of use violations. In some cases, Shellenberger noted, Twitter would probe cases presented by the bureau but come up empty, not finding evidence of a foreign influence campaign. “[W]e haven’t yet identified activity that we’d typically refer to you (or even flag as interesting in the foreign influence context),” Roth informed FBI San Francisco Special Agent Elvis Chan in one email from May 31, 2020. The FBI would also flag media articles on alleged foreign influence campaigns that Twitter would have to look into and debunk, “repeatedly” reporting “very little Russian activity,” according to Shellenberger. “Time and again, FBI asks Twitter for evidence of foreign influence & Twitter responds that they aren’t finding anything worth reporting,” Shellenberger writes. The FBI also made repeated requests for internal data from Twitter that the social media company refused to send over, citing privacy concerns.

As recently as August 2022, Twitter continued to work with the FBI, which pressured the company to disclose more sensitive information. Baker and Edgett were fired after billionaire Elon Musk bought the social network in October.
