Sen. Mike Lee seems to think he's uncovered evidence of special counsel Jack Smith engaging in “politicized lawfare,” but his proof is absurd.

If Donald Trump fires prosecutors who worked with Jack Smith, the abuse apparently won't generate much pushback from Republicans on Capitol Hill.

This understanding of the law as a form of politics is manifest in Mr Trump’s legal appointments—together they resemble a personal-defence bar. Pam Bondi, his nominee for attorney-general, represented him during his first impeachment trial in Congress.

Smith moving to dismiss his cases against Trump could leave the possibility that they stay alive, Barbara McQuade said.

Former U.S. attorney Barbara McQuade broke down why Jack Smith would preemptively “pull the plug” on the Jan. 6 election interference and classified documents cases against returning President Donald Trump, as the special counsel did earlier this week.
