He is right when he touts success as the best form of vengeance.
Jack Smith is on his way out, and we don’t need another one.
While serving in Joe Biden’s Justice Department, the special counsel concocted a novel legal case against Biden’s foremost political opponent and would have been happy to try Donald Trump in the midst of the presidential election campaign.
This was an outrageous abuse of the legal system, and it was just one of the acts of lawfare against Trump and people around him in recent years.
Now, with the Republican about to enter the White House again and Smith packing up, the question is whether Trump will engage in a campaign of counter-lawfare.
