Trump’s unrelenting fast-track drive to humiliate, investigate & prosecute the people he hates has gained momentum, in part, because his targets have not been in a position to inflict serious retributive pain on him.
#JackSmith is different.
Smith, the special counsel who twice indicted #Trump, appears unintimidated by the president’s demand that Republican lawmakers investigate him & that the #DOJ put him in prison for as-yet unproved & unspecified crimes.
Quite the opposite, in fact. #JackSmith, who spent >2 years aggressively collecting evidence to prove #Trump mishandled #ClassifiedDocuments & tried to overturn the results of the #2020election, appears eager to publicly challenge a foundational pillar of #MAGA canon: that Trump was a sinned-upon innocent who did nothing to deserve scrutiny, much less 2 prosecutions.

#JackSmith has told people in his orbit that he welcomes the opportunity to present the public case against #Trump denied to him by #SCOTUS decision asserting broad presidential #immunity from prosecution & adverse rulings from a Trump-appointed judge on the federal bench in Florida.

Whether #JackSmith gets the chance to confront his accusers on the biggest official stage available to him, a public #House or #Senate hearing, remains very much an open question. Some #Republicans have privately expressed concern that #Trump’s quest for vengeance could backfire by giving a credible anticorruption investigator an open mic.

…Until now, #Trump, in the half-joking estimation of one longtime adviser, has been able to order up investigations of his political enemies like Ubers.
But in two low-key but self-assured appearances over the past six weeks, #JackSmith has made it unmistakably clear that he will not only defend himself but take a hammer to Trump’s exaggerated or false claims about his work as special counsel.

@Nonilex Smith has been in a position without parallel to ensure that Trump's dirt is preserved forever, in case of any sudden accident.
