Well, howdy there internet people. It's Beau again. So today we are going to talk about Jack Smith
and who he is. This is a person who is going to be in the news a lot. So let's just go ahead and run
through his background and kind of go from there. When you have a new character enter the show,
it's always nice to get a little bit of a backstory. First, I mean Jack Smith, man,
that's got to be hard. Every person he meets has got to be like, yeah, sure you are, and I'm Jim
Doe. Okay, Jack Smith grew up in New York, Harvard Law, started a legal career with the New York
District Attorney's Office after being in ADA, started working with the US Attorney's Office
in Brooklyn. So he's a fed now. There, did a lot of high-profile cases, some you would definitely
recognize. After that, went to work for the ICC, International Criminal Court. Then in 2010,
went to work with Public Integrity there at the Department of Justice. Was chief of Public
Integrity for five years, where they got a lot of politicians. They got a lot of politicians. He is
not afraid to indict a politician. Also got Jeffrey Sterling, who's a CIA guy who shared national
defense information. In 2015, became Assistant United States Attorney for the Middle District
of Tennessee. And then in 2018, took an appointment at The Hague looking into the unpleasantness in
Kosovo. Did very well there, and it's a four-year appointment. Got a second on May 8th of this year,
but now has the new appointment as special counsel. So, we talked about the two options,
protecting the institution of the presidency, showing that the special counsel has teeth.
This background, probably not the person I would bring in to protect the institution of the
presidency. Now, when Smith was at Public Integrity, very much developed a reputation as being apolitical.
There was a hearing involving the IRS that he was called in for, and he was called in for
that he was called in for, and he was basically asked questions about targeting on political basis,
and one of the answers was something to the effect of,
no, I was never asked anything like that, and nobody who knows me would even consider asking me that.
So, based on the background, if you were actually looking to prosecute,
this is kind of the background you would look for.
Doesn't mean anything, because we still don't know what's going on yet,
but this isn't the background of somebody who is looking to score chips in the big game
and get political favors later. So, that is hopeful for those that are hoping for a
prosecution of Trump, particularly on the documents case, this might be your guy.
Again, we don't know that, but it seems unlikely that somebody would get pulled from the Hague
to put on a show, and it seems unlikely that somebody with this background would agree to
leave a posting with the Hague to put on a show. Anyway, it's just a thought. Y'all have a good day.
