We often picture our corrupt government elites as cunning masterminds capable of accomplishing anything and executing elaborate schemes. But the reality is quite different. They’re sometimes a bunch of clumsy fools stumbling around in the dark, driven by irrational emotions, and constantly making one mistake after another. Once in a while, they stumble into some luck, completely by accident. We are not governed by a group of highly intelligent “James Bond” types; it’s more like the Keystone Cops. The situation with DOJ prosecutor Jack Smith is a perfect example. He’s currently doing the regime’s “dirty work” by attempting to destroy President Trump through this unjust and morally wrong prosecution linked to the so-called “classified docs” scandal concocted by the left.

Mr. Smith, whom the left loves to praise as this amazing legal genius, is far from it. The reality is that Mr. Smith is a clumsy overreacher, and he holds the rather embarrassing distinction of being one of the few lawyers in America to have his conviction unanimously overturned by the entire Supreme Court. Yes, every single justice agreed.

Once again, Jack was out to do the bidding of the left by targeting a Republican. Back in 2014, he went after Virginia governor Bob McDonnell and managed to convict him on corruption charges. However, two years later, the whole Supreme Court threw out the conviction, leaving poor Mr. Smith with egg all over his face.

CNN:

The Supreme Court on Monday unanimously threw out the conviction of former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell.

The 8-0 decision left open the possibility for McDonnell to be retried, but in the meantime, his conviction was vacated.

McDonnell, once a rising star in Republican politics, was convicted on federal corruption charges in 2014. He was found guilty of violating the law when he received, gifts, money and loans from Jonnie R. Williams, the CEO of a Virginia-based company, in exchange for official acts seen as favorable to Williams and his business.

The case centered around the question of what constitutes the scope of an “official action” under federal corruption law.

Writing for the court, Chief Justice John Roberts set a clear definition of the term and how it can be used in corruption convictions.

“In sum, an ‘official act’ is a decision or action on a ‘question, matter, cause, suit, proceeding or controversy,” Roberts wrote. “Setting up a meeting, talking to another official, or organizing an event (or agreeing to do so) – without more – does not fit that definition of an official act.”

He also said that political corruption can still be prosecuted by the government, and noted that McDonnell’s actions were “distasteful.”

“There is no doubt that this case is distasteful; it may be worse than that,” Roberts wrote. “But our concern is not with tawdry tales of Ferraris, Rolexes, and ball gowns. It is instead with the broader legal implications of the government’s boundless interpretation of the federal bribery statute. A more limited interpretation of the term ‘official act’ leaves ample room for prosecuting corruption, while comporting with the text of the statute and the precedent of this court.”

The impact should extend far beyond McDonnell’s conviction, said Steve Vladeck, CNN contributor and professor of law at American University Washington College of Law.

“Today’s ruling should clarify – and dramatically narrow –the scope of federal anti-corruption law, and could open the door to challenges from a number of other former public officials convicted under these federal laws, including Gov. McDonnell’s wife, Maureen, former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, and others.”

McDonnell was, at the time, considered a major threat to Democrats and a top contender for the presidency. So it’s no wonder Obama unleashed Jack Smith on him.

You know it’s bad when even RBG thought he was off his rocker. Mr. Smith’s conviction was so seriously flawed, that it created an opportunity for numerous other people to pursue justice. This further proves that our elites are not highly-skilled warriors for justice. They are partisan hacks, twisting our laws and policies into pretzels so they can punish their political enemies and gain more power.

Jack Smith himself has the look of a wannabe Navy SEAL about him. He likes to brag about being a triathlete, and the regime media laps it up.

Axios:

The day after unleashing the first-ever federal indictment against a former prez, Jack Smith hit his pool in Bethesda, the triathlete trailed by security and spinning suntanners’ heads.

Smith spent a lot of time living abroad in Geneva and working as a prosecutor for the Hague, which might be where he acquired such a fart-sniffing affect.
