Ive watched a lot of political television in my life. Decades of talking heads, spin doctors, and cable news panels arguing over nothing. I have never NEVER seen anything like what Jack Smith did with Nicolle Wallace.
The former Special Counsel the career prosecutor who indicted Donald Trump for trying to overthrow an election and stuffing nuclear secrets next to the pool toilets at Mar-a-Lago broke his silence in his first televised interview. And what he delivered wasnt a victory lap. It wasnt a book tour. It wasnt sour grapes.
It was a warning. A dire, measured, terrifying warning from the one guy in America who has seen the inside of this machine.
And he opened with the line that should be tattooed on the forehead of every American:
I think we are facing an attack on the rule of law that is different in kind and scope to anything Ive seen in my lifetime.
Much more at link with video clips.

That would have been so much worse than the daily hellscape of horrors were now enduring.

(33,107 posts)Smith is pissed that Krasnov is going after his team of prosecutors. Jack let everyone know the backgrounds of these people, let everyone know that these people are not partisan, let everyone know that these people are patriots who are fantastic at doing their jobs without fear or favor.
Jack stated that if the attacks by Krasnov against him were meant to silence him they didn't work. Jack said when Krasnov leaves office he's prepared to indict him again.
Jack wanted everyone to know how Krasnov is replacing good, decent people with low life, unqualified puppets.
That's what I took from Jack's interview, "come get me, I'm ready.
Waiting for Merrick Garland to do a similar interview to show he has Jacks Smith and his team's back.
Is Krasnov attacking Garland?
