Jack Smith’s Political Persecution of Donald Trump Ends

Following a request by Special Counsel Jack Smith, a judge has dropped the charges against President-elect Donald Trump. At last, this egregious political persecution comes to an end. This is a good day for the rule of law.

The political decision to seek this dismissal is forced recognition that the American people essentially found President Trump innocent of the political and baseless lawfare charges brought against him by the Democratic Party machine.

The Department of Justice under Joe Biden became a Department of Injustice as it waged lawfare against Donald Trump. Jack Smith’s mission was never anything more than retaliation and election interference at the highest level. The fake charges against Trump were built on sand and about nothing. Judicial Watch and I witnessed firsthand the corruption of Jack Smith’s operation when they forced me to testify for hours before a grand jury over my tweets, election and public policy battles, and what I had for lunch with President Trump.

Biden, Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray and all the other shady characters at Justice are no less villainous than their puppet Smith. The FBI and Justice Department (and many other Deep State agencies) are irredeemably corrupt. Indeed, even in seeking dismissal, the Biden regime asks the court to keep the option open to further persecute President Trump when he leaves office!

This unprecedented corruption and abuse of power by the Biden regime and its party allies must now be the subject of a thorough criminal investigation.  In the meantime, Judicial Watch will continue to investigate and sue over what has been the worst government corruption in American history.

In my new book Rights and Freedoms in Peril I detail a long chain of abuses officials and politicians have made against the American people and call readers to battle for “the soul and survival of America.” The book details how the progressive movement threatens America’s most venerable institutions, undermining the core principles that make this country a beacon of hope to the world.

Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit in May 2023 after the Justice Department rejected a December 9, 2022, FOIA request for ”staff rosters, phone lists, or similar records depicting all employees hired by or detailed to the office of Special Counsel Jack Smith.”

In February 2024 the Department of Justice asked a federal court to allow the agency to keep secret the names of top staffers working in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office that is targeting former President Donald Trump and other Americans.

In May 2024 we asked the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia, to declare a default judgment against District Attorney Fani Willis in Judicial Watch’s lawsuit seeking records of communications Willis had with Special Counsel Jack Smith and the House January 6 Committee.

Before his appointment to investigate and prosecute Trump, Jack Smith previously was at the center of several other controversial issues, the IRS scandal among them.

In 2014, a Judicial Watch investigation revealed that top IRS officials had been in communication with Jack Smith’s then-Public Integrity Section about a plan to launch criminal investigations into conservative tax-exempt groups. Government officials were looking to step up a probe into requests for tax-exemption from organizations with conservative-sounding names like “Tea Party” and other “political sounding names,” according to a later report by the Treasury Department’s inspector general. Jack Smith appears to have been a key player in this attempt to silence conservative voices.

You can see that the end of this chapter of terrible abuses of President Trump is only the middle of Judicial Watch’s ongoing investigation and accountability lawsuits over this unprecedented and dangerous lawfare.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Each year I like to remind our supporters to recall what life was like for the Pilgrims who arrived on these shores in December of 1620. As the Plimoth Plantation describes it:

Many of the colonists fell ill. They were probably suffering from scurvy and pneumonia caused by a lack of shelter in the cold, wet weather. Although the Pilgrims were not starving, their sea-diet was very high in salt, which weakened their bodies on the long journey and during that first winter. As many as two or three people died each day during their first two months on land. Only 52 people survived the first year in Plymouth. When Mayflower left Plymouth on April 5, 1621, she was sailed back to England by only half of her crew.

Nevertheless, a year after their arrival they sat down for a feast of thanksgiving. They had befriended and made a treaty of mutual protection with the Pokanoket Wampanoag leader, Ousamequin, also known as Massasoit to the Pilgrims.

In the fall of 1621, the colonists marked their first harvest with a three-day celebration. Massasoit and 90 of his men joined the English for feasting and entertainment. In the 1800s this famous celebration became the basis for the story of the First Thanksgiving.It would be easy to focus on the passing difficulties of our time, especially for those of us who fight daily to preserve the God-given liberties that have blessed this land since the time of the Pilgrims. But, as they did, we must pause to reflect on all that is good and on the Source of this goodness.

I am particularly fond of a hymn popularly associated with Thanksgiving Day and often sung at family meals and religious services on this day, having been brought to America by Dutch settlers in New Amsterdam, now New York City. It was written by Adrianus Valerius and is entitled “Wilt Heden Nu Treden” (“We Gather Together.”)

We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing;
He chastens and hastens His will to make known.
The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing.
Sing praises to His Name; He forgets not His own.

Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,
Ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine;
So from the beginning the fight we were winning;
Thou, Lord, were at our side, all glory be Thine!

We all do extol Thee, Thou Leader triumphant,
And pray that Thou still our Defender will be.
Let Thy congregation escape tribulation;
Thy Name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!

All of us at Judicial Watch wish you and yours a most blessed Thanksgiving! I would be remiss if I also did not thank you, dear supporter, for any and all support you’ve given Judicial Watch throughout the year. Of course, your special support now for Judicial Watch’s essential work would be most welcome.

Until next week,
