Deleting Evidence of Anti-Trump Bias? Jack Smith’s Team of Partisan Lawyers Comb Through Their Communications to Make Sure They Haven’t Written Anything That Could be Subpoenaed
December 27, 2024

The hunters are becoming the hunted.

Earlier this month it was reported that Jack Smith’s team of partisan prosecutors are lawyering up as they brace for President Trump.

According to Rolling Stone, Jack Smith’s team of prosecutors are also combing through their private and professional communications to make sure they haven’t written anything that can be subpoenaed.

Are they deleting evidence of misconduct and anti-Trump bias?

Late last month Jack Smith moved to dismiss both federal cases against President Trump as Trump plans to go scorched earth and fire the special counsel’s entire team of prosecutors.

Jack Smith asked to dismiss both the January 6 case and classified documents case against President Trump.

It was previously reported that Jack Smith’s investigators were fielding calls with lawyers in DC.

“One former senior White House official said aides inside the White House and across various federal agencies are intensely worried about the possibility that the incoming Trump administration will prosecute anyone deemed as having antagonized the president-elect,” CNN reported.

“Additionally, several prominent white-collar lawyers across Washington have fielded calls in recent weeks from government officials, including investigators from Smith’s office, who are concerned they could be targeted by the incoming Trump administration,” the outlet reported.

Rolling Stone also reported that Jack Smith’s prosecutors are afraid they will go bankrupt and are inquiring about taking steps to protect their family’s assets.

“Some federal investigators, including more junior staff, have talked to attorneys and legal groups about possible ways a rejuvenated Trump Justice Department could try to make their lives hell, what precautionary measures they should take, and even how to avoid going bankrupt if the revenge probes come in full force, the sources add,” Rolling Stone reported.

“At least one such investigator has privately inquired if there are steps, even extreme ones, they can take to protect their spouse’s assets, in the event of harmful criminal charges, the former DOJ official says,” the magazine reported.

Rolling Stone reported:

According to two sources with knowledge of the matter and a former Justice Department official, several attorneys and staffers who were on the special counsel’s Justice Department team, or had done work for its criminal investigations into Trump, have already sought legal counsel or retained personal lawyers — in case the former and now future president and his incoming administration follow through on his desire to probe or even prosecute his enemies.

In less than a month, Trump will be inaugurated in Washington, D.C., for his second term in the Oval Office. He plans to mold much of the Department of Justice and FBI into a subsidiary of his own interests, and has suggested using these instruments to retaliate against those investigating him.

“The precedent on doing what they did, with the weaponization, using the DOJ and the FBI to go after their political opponents, that is so bad,” Trump said earlier this year. “That means I can do it too,” he added. “Pandora’s Box is open and that means that I can do it too.” Trump repeatedly pledged to be voters’ “retribution.” When President Joe Biden said during a debate that Trump would go after his political opponents, he did not deny that, instead offering: “I said my retribution is going to be success.”

One of the sources with knowledge of the situation tells Rolling Stone that multiple people who worked with Smith and his core team have preemptively reviewed their private and professional communications, to make sure they hadn’t written anything that could be subpoenaed, publicly revealed, and used against them to paint a narrative of alleged misconduct or supposed anti-Trump bias.

Jack Smith’s team of taxpayer-funded prosecutors were operating in secret. Smith’s team of lawyers was DOUBLE the size of Mueller’s (Weissmann’s) team.

President Trump’s DOJ should publicly name and fire every single one of Jack Smith’s prosecutors.
