Special Counsel Jack Smith’s resignation from the Department of Justice is sending shockwaves through the swamp, especially since it means he’s officially throwing in the towel on the never-ending prosecution attempts against President-elect Donald Trump. Trump wasted no time roasting Smith, dubbing him “deranged” right after this unexpected resignation was made official.
It seems this so-called special counsel spent a jaw-dropping $100 million in taxpayer money chasing phantom criminal activity, only to leave the scene without any trophies. Trump took to social media to blast Smith for his inadequate efforts, reminding everyone that this was not just a waste of time but also a humiliating flop that put the spotlight on how desperate opposing politicians could be. The takeaway? When you try to hunt Trump, you’ll just find a whole lot of nothing.
Jack Smith notified U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon of his resignation in a legal filing, employing what can only be described as a sad farewell note. Parading around like a detective in a bad TV show, he claimed the “case was closed” while issuing reports nobody seemed to ask for. The justification for this questionnaire masquerade laid bare the reality that in some cases, no news is good news—especially for conservative patriots tired of weaponized politics.

The two reports left standing—one for the ever-elusive classified documents case and the other targeting 2020 election interference—were both sent to the proverbial dumpster fire that is this investigation. Behind the scenes, Trump’s legal eagles were doing everything they could to ensure these reports would stay buried. After all, the last thing anyone needs is more low-effort narratives from the left that only serve to raise blood pressure and prompt eye rolls.
The Justice Department was initially ambiguous about what they planned to do next, hinting that since Trump isn’t facing any special counsel litigation anymore, they might release the report on the election interference case. A relief? Surely, but it also shows that as these investigations come to an end, the conservatives smell victory wafting through the walls of double standards. With deranged Jack Smith packing his bags and the reports gathering dust, it’s just another reminder that the establishment’s antics against Trump may finally be winding down, leaving them with little more than an empty bag of tricks.
