Special Counsel Jack Smith has officially hung up his hat at the Department of Justice, resigning after what can only be described as a politically charged escapade crafted specifically for President Trump during the 2024 election season. His departure comes as no surprise, coming just as the curtains close on the Biden administration. Smith’s investigations were not just any investigations; they were viewed by many as a groundbreaking attempt by the DOJ to suppress dissent on the political landscape.
The resignation notice was tucked away in a mundane court filing, a casual goodbye waved off like an awkward high-school dropout. Smith completed his work on a report that remains locked behind a temporary order just as citizens are getting dangerously close to the truth. This order has stopped the unveiling of findings regarding alleged interference in the 2020 election, leaving many to speculate what juicy tidbits Smith might have uncovered, or if it’s just another political cover-up simmering under the surface.

Let’s face it—a significant portion of Americans isn’t shedding any tears over Smith’s exit. Donald Trump, ever the provocateur, has not been shy about his disdain for the Special Counsel’s mission, going so far as to suggest he deserves a cushy seat in a jail cell for his heinous crime of conducting what many view as blatant political warfare. Biden, who is poised to leave office, was likely too busy perfecting his “I don’t know how this happened” face to give Smith’s resignation the send-off it deserves.
Smith didn’t just stumble into a few cases here and there; he was the ringleader in a circus of controversy. Notably, he led the charge during the FBI’s infamous raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, a move that sent shockwaves through conservative circles. Observers argue that his investigations seemingly aimed to take out a political rival, portraying the DOJ as a weapon in the hands of the establishment—one of those trade-offs they never warned working Americans about.
As Smith exits the stage, questions linger regarding the true motives behind his investigations. Did he come to seek justice, or was he merely a pawn in a much larger plan to stifle conservative voices? The political climate remains tense as the nation watches to see whether or not the reports will ever see the light of day. Smith may have quit the DOJ, but the ripples of his actions will reverberate through the political pond for years to come.
