FOX- Justice Department Special Counsel Jack Smith is expected to resign before President-elect Trump is inaugurated in January, the New York Times reported, citing sources familiar with the matter.
Smith is aiming to bring to an end his cases against Trump and step down before the new president takes office as a way to get ahead of the Republican’s promise to fire him “within two seconds.”
Trump has pointed to a Supreme Court immunity ruling from this summer that broadened the criteria for official presidential conduct ineligible for prosecution even after a president is no longer in office.
Smith has been evaluating how to wind down both the 2020 election interference case and the separate classified documents case before Trump takes office, Fox News reported last week.

You can still go to prison even if you ‘retired’.
Maybe there are still a few MAGA people in the DOJ HR office and they might “lose” his retirement application paperwork. And when he re-submits, tell him he used the wrong form. And when he re-RE-submits, tell him he should have used black ink (or blue ink if he used black).
Smith’s resignation should be refused until the government can search his property (including his wife’s underwear drawer) to make sure he doesn’t have any classified documents, and then scour his loan applications to make sure nothing was understated, overstated or omitted.
Whatever. But I think PDT’s DOJ needs to investigate former DEA employee John Francis Moynihan’ whistleblower charge:
“Jack Smith, while working at the International Court of Justice, spent years running an overseas extortion ring targeting wealthy and high-profile public officials.”

Maybe nothing there, but the seriousness of the charge merits an investigation. Right, Jack? Better lawyer up.
I’d like to see his wrinkled ass kicked out of a Huey at about 3000 feet.
Uack Shirt is a real seswetwe!!!
Have a Jim Jones on the rocks on me Asshole!
Wyatt, we’d want to include a body cavity search to make sure he’s not stashing anything there. “Oops, forgot the KY before I started”.
They’re all starting to scatter like cockroaches when the kitchen light (TRUMP !!!) comes on.
“… until the government can search his property …”
Uhh … Wyatt, Insensitive Progressive Jerk … which government agency would this be? The FBI conspired with this maggot, so there’s absolutely no chance they’d turn up the abundant evidence of his criminality.
Park Police, maybe? They “investigated” Vince Foster’s murder, didn’t they?

Congress can start a rigged investigation. Clear Smith before President Trump takes over and then destroy all of the records. Just like the J6 committee did.
Tim – let a grand jury do it.
