Jack Smith, the Robert Mueller of Christopher Steeles, has sadly resigned from his position gathering evidence to show that President Donald J. Trump violated a law passed to prevent the KKK from wearing masks on highways, or whatever it was he was supposed to be doing there, taking with him only a lot of money and a report that, whatever the litigation involving it, will be featured in a timely manner on the front page of the Washington Post (of if Jeff Bezos, fearful of losing out on cloud contracts, prevents this, on the front page of the New York Times.)
While Mueller, despite being as out of it as Joe Biden, got his own branded podcast by a confused angry lady, votive candles, and a gay love song (none of these examples are made up, look them up at your own peril), Smith never really got the same fantasy fandom as the ultimate Trump-slayer. Maybe because by then even the dumbest MSNBC viewers had figured out that the whole thing wasn’t happening and had switched over to reviewing slo-motion GIFs of Trump’s ear being hit by a bullet on Bluesky, Medium or Salon.
But Jack Smith will no doubt have a lucrative career staring ominously into the cameras while stroking his overgrown five o’clock shadow and implying that he could use a law intended to ban the KKK from wearing masks on highways to get anyone whatsoever. Or I guess he could go back to having bicycle accidents and taking part in the 300th year of international war crime hearings in the former Yugoslavia.
Had Smith actually done more to get Trump than the legal legerdemain of a law school student with access to both ChatGPT and Wikipedia, he might have gotten a lucrative reputation as a guy who can frame and take down world leaders. Instead, he may have to continue the 40th year of legal proceedings against Slobodan Milosevic which were only partially interrupted by the former leader having died in 2006.
But it’s easier to try the dead. They don’t fight back.
