Legal analyst Greg Jarrett on FOX Business on Tuesday criticized Special Counsel Jack Smith’s actions by the Department of Justice (DOJ) in handling President-elect Donald Trump’s case.
U.S. District Judge Eileen Cannon suspended the Justice Department’s release of Smith’s report on investigations related to Trump. Monaka exterior Jarrett said on “Evening Edit” that he praised Cannon’s decision and accused Smith of overstepping his bounds.
“This was the correct ruling by Judge Cannon, who months ago dismissed the case against Trump because Jack Smith was illegally appointed special counsel. That means everything Smith did was invalid. So why should an unauthorized lawyer publish an unauthorized report? They shouldn’t.” Jarrett said.
Jarrett then criticized the one-sided nature of the report, which was aimed solely at damaging President Trump’s reputation. He also said Smith had leaked significant portions of similar allegations to the public through court filings just before the election.
“It is completely unfair for Donald Trump to release a one-sided report full of unproven accusations whose sole purpose, as you point out, is to insult the president-elect. But that doesn’t really matter, since Mr. Smith had already leaked exactly the same information to the public in court documents for free just before the election,” the legal analyst said.
Jarrett said Attorney General Merrick Garland is fully aware of what is going on and supports Smith’s actions. (Related: J6 Committee Democrat Jack Smith slams Justice Department for not prosecuting Trump sooner after dropping case)
“He was trying to unfairly influence the election against President Trump. It was a clear violation of Justice Department rules. Merrick Garland didn’t care. He was all in. Voters ultimately “It didn’t bother me, but it highlighted how insidious and malicious Mr. Garland and Mr. Smith were. They were central figures in a corrupt legal campaign that backfired,” Jarrett said. Ta.
Garland appointed Smith to investigate Trump’s objections to the 2020 election results and his handling of classified documents. judge cannon blocked Smith’s findings will not be made public until the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals decides on the emergency appeal.

P. 65(d)(2) (a). You are temporarily prohibited from publishing, sharing, or transmitting the Final Report or any draft thereof outside the Department of Justice; We will not share the information or conclusions contained in that draft with anyone outside the Department of Justice,” Cannon said in Monday’s ruling.
Co-defendants in the classified documents case, Walt Nauta and Carlos de Oliveira, argued in their filing that Smith lacked legal authority to draft the report. According to Go to Just the News.
