The special counsel is supposedly structured to be independent. Jack Smith (pictured above), who was appointed to the position by former Attorney General Merrick Garland, is described as a registered independent, but his wife's donation to Joe Biden's 2020 presidential campaign has been perceived as a reflection of his bias.
The career prosecutor was specifically appointed to Joe Biden's Department of Justice in 2022 to oversee two major investigations into President Donald Trump: the retention and concealment of classified documents after he left office and his efforts to "overturn" the 2020 election.
FBI Director Kash Patel recently revealed that Smith used the Washington Field Office's public corruption unit to investigate Trump. His "Arctic Frost" team also used the bureau to track Republican senators' private conversations.
Democrats and their allies in the media have long claimed the president is "a threat to our democracy," but Gary Bauer of the Campaign for Working Families contends the real threat to our constitutional republic is "not from the Right; it's from the Left."
"The news that Jack Smith … was monitoring Republican senators' phones and their location and so forth is really incredible, and it's certainly the sort of thing that raises grave anxieties," he states.
Bauer recalls witnessing the Left's efforts to put Donald Trump in jail for life.
"[There's] a concerted pattern of the political Left in this country acting not like neo-Marxists but like Marxists in an attempt to destroy their political opponents," he summarizes.
Director Patel has terminated the agents who worked on Smith's probe, dismantled the weaponized CR-15 squad, and initiated an ongoing investigation with more accountability measures ahead.
"We are cleaning up a diseased temple three decades in the making — identifying the rot, removing those who weaponized law enforcement for political purposes and those who do not meet the standards of this mission while restoring integrity to the FBI," Patel said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "I promised reform, and I intend to deliver it."
"This is serious stuff," Bauer asserts. "It explains why there's so much screeching going on as President Trump's Department of Justice and FBI begin to delve in to what was happening to the American people in the four years before Donald Trump returned to office."
