Special Counsel Jack Smith has officially waved the white flag, marking the end of his futile crusade against President-elect Donald J. Trump. Armed with a seemingly endless supply of taxpayer dollars and an entire army of anti-Trump lawyers, Smith’s grand plans to ensnare Trump fell spectacularly flat. Instead of the expected legal smackdown, the real takeaway is the striking irony that it was the resilience of our institutions that saved Trump from a politically motivated witch hunt.
Recent developments show Smith has finally asked the court to dismiss his appeal in the classified documents case, a case that had been tossed out by a federal judge earlier in the year. The audacity of Smith’s legal maneuvers, which bore the distinct aroma of political desperation, highlighted just how far he was willing to go to pursue a narrative that only his colleagues and the media could stomach. It seems liberal claims of being defenders of democracy are nothing but irony-laced jokes. In reality, those very institutions they proudly wave flags for kept Trump from being dragged through the mud in a politically orchestrated prosecution.

As Trump prepares to regain the Oval Office, Smith is reportedly packing up his office before being shown the door. The DOJ’s long-standing policy—and perhaps a little common sense—supports the idea that sitting presidents can’t be prosecuted, which is rather inconvenient for Smith’s intended circus act. The ruling that initially derailed Smith’s case stemmed from the judge’s decision that the special counsel was appointed improperly. If anything rebukes the left’s incessant claims about “the rule of law,” this legal rebound certainly does.
Smith’s last-ditch effort included a bizarre and regretful attempt to revive charges associated with the infamous January 6th riot—the kind of partisan theatrics that should make any honest prosecutor cringe. Even some legal analysts from the left took offense to Smith’s shenanigans, as they realized he had essentially put his integrity on hold to appease a political agenda. It’s a classic case of shooting oneself in the foot, while the rest of America watches on, popcorn in hand.
As the media continues its frantic chimeras of a Trump revival scenario, one thing is clear: the campaign against the former president is floundering faster than most Democratic Party ambitions. All this grandstanding by Smith has culminated in a blaring defeat. The Justice Department may have hoped to hit Trump hard, but reality kicked in, leaving them to regroup after an enormous electoral wake-up call. Instead of that anticipated legal juggernaut, the only thing left is a massive sigh of relief for those who support Trump. The lawfare fizzled out, and now it’s time for America to focus on rebuilding, after having dodged another liberal bombshell disguised as justice.
