In a stunning turn of events, Special Counsel Jack Smith, who has been relentlessly pursuing investigations into former President Donald Trump for the past year, has now found himself on the receiving end of an investigation. It appears that there have been allegations of abuses within Smith’s own office, and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan is determined to get to the bottom of it.
According to reports from the reliable and fair news outlet Fox News, Jordan has announced that his committee is looking into Jay Bratt, a senior prosecutor on Smith’s team. In a letter addressed to Smith, Jordan expressed concerns about Bratt’s alleged misconduct, specifically his improper pressure on Stephen Woodward, an attorney representing former Trump valet and aide Waltine Nauta in a classified documents case.
It seems that Bratt, in an attempt to coerce cooperation from Woodward’s client, mentioned the possibility of a judgeship for Woodward. While this may seem like a harmless exchange, Jordan rightly pointed out that it raises serious concerns about the abusive tactics employed by the Office of the Special Counsel, as well as the Department of Justice’s commitment to impartial justice.
Jordan wasted no time in demanding that Smith surrender any documents related to meetings with Woodward or any communications between Woodward and the DOJ. The deadline given was 5:00 p.m. on September 21, leaving Smith with little time to comply with the order.
This latest revelation further erodes the credibility and impartiality of Smith and his team. It is deeply troubling to see the very individuals tasked with upholding the rule of law and ensuring justice engaging in such behavior. The American people deserve answers, and Jordan is determined to hold Smith and his office accountable. Let us hope that justice prevails and the truth is uncovered.
