Jack Smith, the prosecutor who would never admit what he was doing - Washington Examiner

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : Instead, he said that the public had a "compelling interest" of "unique national importance" in putting Trump on trial ASAP.
51% : And then Smith said it was of "imperative public importance" that Trump's "trial proceed as promptly as possible if his claim of immunity is rejected."
42% : As expected, the appeals court ruled against Trump, who of course appealed to the Supreme Court.
34% : Instead, he argued, "It is of paramount public importance that [Trump's] claims of immunity be resolved as expeditiously as possible -- and, if [Trump] is not immune, that he receive a fair and speedy trial on these charges."
28% : Smith indicted Trump on Aug. 1, 2023, and by the end of the year, the prosecutor was racing to get the former president into a courtroom.
26% : He was not able to put Trump on trial, and then, worst-case scenario for the prosecutor, the defendant was elected president of the United States.
24% : Just before 1 a.m. Tuesday, the Biden Justice Department's hand-picked Trump prosecutor, Jack Smith, released a report on the investigation that resulted in the indictment of Donald Trump on four counts involving the 2020 election and the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
19% : In February 2024, Jack Goldsmith, a Harvard law professor who opposes Trump, wrote, "This rush violates Justice Department rules.
19% : Goldsmith continued, "If this were any other defendant than Donald Trump, the rush to trial -- which cannot possibly give the Trump legal team adequate time to prepare its defense -- would be deemed wildly unfair.
16% : The report did not have a lot of new information in it -- Smith has poured out his evidence in filing after filing for more than a year -- but it did contain Smith's assessment that he could have convicted Trump had Trump not won the presidency and is thus no longer subject to federal prosecution.
12% : In December 2023, Smith and Trump were arguing over Trump's contention that he was immune from Smith's prosecution.
