Special Counsel Jack Smith Brings On Democratic Donor
There is not even a pretense in the Biden administration’s persecution of former President Donald Trump anymore. Justice is not being served, and in its place is an all-out barrage of attacks intended to derail the Republican’s 2024 presidential campaign.
Department of Justice (DOJ) Special Counsel Jack Smith added a new prosecutor to his team, and his goals are clear. Alex Whiting is there to assist in the White House crusade to put Trump behind bars for the rest of his life.
Politico reported that Smith and Whiting worked together previously in war crimes trials at The Hague in the late 1990s. This means Whiting’s extreme political direction is clear to the special counsel, and that’s what he wanted.
The prosecutor wrote several pieces supporting Robert Mueller’s witch hunt against the Trump campaign. Whiting insisted that Mueller had clear evidence against the then-president when it was soon apparent that he did not.
Whiting is also a prolific Democratic donor.
Records from Open Secrets showed he has shelled out thousands to Democratic candidates over the last decade and more. And not just any Democrats. Whiting’s money went to support extremists such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and former President Barack Obama.
There is not the slightest chance that Trump will receive just treatment from this investigation. Adding Whiting to the prosecutorial team is only the latest indication that the former president is being railroaded.
Smith’s efforts on behalf of the Biden administration have suffered recent setbacks. A three-judge panel in Washington, D.C., determined his office could not access phone records of Trump ally Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA).
In July, Smith’s office confessed they failed to hand over all relevant evidence to Trump’s legal team. This contradicted earlier claims that they had met this requirement.
And in the following month, two of Smith’s filings in the Jan. 6 case were struck down by the Florida judge who oversaw them.
All the while, the DOJ is turning up the heat to get courts to suppress Trump’s First Amendment rights. Clearly, Smith does not want the former president to be able to express and defend himself against the weight of the federal government being brought down against him.
The American people are not fooled, as Trump’s widening lead over the Republican field for 2024 demonstrates. Biden’s weaponized Washington is intent on one thing — removing his most powerful rival to clear the path for another four years of liberal extremism.
