The weaponized justice system that tormented President Trump for years is finally getting a taste of its own medicine as federal investigators now probe Jack Smith for potential criminal violations of federal law.
Justice Finally Comes Full Circle
After years of watching the Biden administration’s attack dogs relentlessly pursue President Trump with bogus prosecutions, we’re finally seeing accountability. The U.S. Office of Special Counsel confirmed it has opened a Hatch Act investigation into Jack Smith, the partisan prosecutor who spent taxpayer millions trying to railroad Trump before the 2024 election. This investigation stems from a formal complaint by Senator Tom Cotton, who rightfully identified Smith’s actions as unlawful political interference.
The Hatch Act exists for exactly this reason – to prevent federal employees from using their positions to influence elections. Smith’s timing wasn’t coincidental; it was calculated political warfare designed to damage Trump’s presidential campaign. Now that Trump is back in the White House, these partisan operatives are finally facing consequences for their abuse of power.
The Collapse of Smith’s Witch Hunt Cases
Smith’s resignation in January 2025 tells you everything you need to know about the legitimacy of his prosecutions. After being appointed by Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland in November 2022, Smith brought two criminal cases against Trump – one alleging efforts to overturn the 2020 election and another for mishandling classified documents. Both cases spectacularly failed to reach trial before the Biden administration ended.
These weren’t legitimate prosecutions based on evidence; they were desperate attempts to use the justice system as a political weapon. The fact that Smith couldn’t even get these cases to trial after years of investigation and unlimited resources proves they were nothing more than election interference disguised as law enforcement. Real prosecutors with real cases don’t just pack up and quit when a new administration takes office.
Trump’s Swift Response to Deep State Operatives
President Trump wasted no time cleaning house once he returned to office. In February 2025, he suspended security clearances for law firm members who assisted Smith’s politically motivated prosecutions. This sends a clear message that the days of weaponizing government positions against political opponents are over. These people abused their access to classified information and government resources to target a sitting president and presidential candidate.
The Trump administration’s decisive action demonstrates what real leadership looks like. Instead of allowing these deep state operatives to continue their sabotage, Trump is systematically removing their ability to harm America from within. Every American who believes in equal justice under law should applaud these necessary steps to restore integrity to our institutions.
The Broader Pattern of Democratic Lawfare
Smith’s investigation represents just one piece of the Democrats’ coordinated lawfare campaign against Trump and his supporters. From the Russia hoax to the January 6th committee, Democrats have consistently weaponized every institution they control to attack their political enemies. The OSC investigation into Smith finally provides a mechanism to hold these partisan actors accountable for their abuse of power.
While the OSC can only impose administrative sanctions rather than criminal penalties, this investigation establishes crucial precedent. Future special counsels and prosecutors will think twice before allowing political motivations to drive their decisions. The chilling effect this creates on partisan prosecutions will help restore public trust in our justice system and prevent future election interference disguised as law enforcement.
