US House Judiciary Committee subpoenas former Trump prosecutor Jack Smith

House Republicans Launch Investigation into Trump Prosecutor Jack Smith's Past

The Republican-led House Judiciary Committee has issued a subpoena to former Department of Justice special counsel Jack Smith, who led the investigations that resulted in two indictments against President Donald Trump.

Despite previously volunteering to appear before the committee, Smith was still compelled to provide additional information and records, according to a letter from committee chairman Jim Jordan. The move comes as Republicans in Congress continue to scrutinize Smith's probe, including his review of phone records for lawmakers involved in the January 6 riot at the US Capitol.

The indictments against Trump were related to allegations that he attempted to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and actions on January 6, 2021. However, both cases were dropped after Trump's re-election in November 2024, due to longstanding Justice Department policy barring the prosecution of a sitting president.

Smith's team maintains that their investigative decisions were guided by the facts and law, without regard for politics. In contrast, Smith himself has portrayed the indictments as part of a coordinated "witch-hunt".
 
just wondering why they're making such a big deal about jack smith's past... seem like republicans just trying to distract from their own stuff πŸ€”πŸ’Ό
 
πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ I'm getting so sick of these Republican-led investigations. It feels like they're just trying to harass Jack Smith and make him sweat before he even appears in front of Congress πŸ™„. And now, they've got the nerve to subpoena him for additional info? Give me a break... what's next? They'll be asking him to recite his birth certificate or something πŸ˜‚. It's all just a show to distract from their own lack of scrutiny on the real issues. I mean, come on, folks, focus on something worthwhile for once 🀯.
 
OMG, can't believe this is happening πŸ™„! I'm really concerned about how Republicans are trying to scrutinize Jack Smith's past... it feels like they're trying to undermine his integrity πŸ’”. As someone who cares about the rule of law and fairness, it's disheartening to see politicians trying to score points by targeting an independent investigator. It's like they think he's not above reproach πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ. I mean, we've all seen how investigations can be politicized in the past... it's so refreshing to have someone like Jack Smith who's dedicated to following the facts and doing what's right πŸ’«. Can't we just focus on getting to the bottom of things and holding people accountable for their actions? 🀯
 
πŸ€” think this whole thing is getting pretty messy... all these investigations, subpoenas, and indictment drama... can't we just focus on moving forward instead? πŸ•°οΈ it's been ages since Trump left office and yet the past keeps coming back to haunt him. πŸ“œ what's really going on here is that people are trying to figure out who did what and why. 🀝 Jack Smith's team seems pretty solid, but at the end of the day, it's all about the facts... πŸ“Š hope this whole thing gets sorted out soon πŸ™
 
omg is this getting crazy?! 🀯 i mean i get it republicans are skeptical but come on we've been over this like 5 times already and trump's not even in office anymore... what's next? πŸ™„ i just wanna know what they're really after, is it the truth or is it just an attempt to discredit smith and undermine the justice system? πŸ€” i'm not saying trump didn't do anything wrong but let's focus on the facts here. btw why did republicans decide to launch an investigation into smith's past now that he's already testified and provided all his records? seems like a big waste of time and resources if you ask me... πŸ˜’
 
So this is crazy 🀯... I mean, it feels like we're stuck in some kind of time loop. First, Trump gets indicted, then he drops out, and now Republicans are all over Jack Smith's head about his past. Like, can't they just focus on the facts for once? πŸ™„

It's also pretty clear that this is all about politics and not about what's really important: justice. I mean, come on, a special counsel is supposed to be impartial, right? But now Jack Smith is being scrutinized like he's some kind of political enemy? It's messed up πŸ€•.

And honestly, it feels like we're just going to keep spinning our wheels if Republicans keep trying to discredit him like this. Can't we all just focus on what really matters: making sure our democracy works and that everyone follows the law? πŸ’―
 
πŸ€” so like republicans are all like what's good about jack smith right? he's just doing his job but they're still investigating him πŸ™„ and now they've got him giving more info and stuff... seems kinda weird that he volunteered to testify in the first place πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ and jim jordan is like chair of this committee so what's up with that πŸ€‘ anyway, smith says his investigations are all about facts not politics but some ppl think it's a witch hunt πŸ§™β€β™‚οΈ which is kinda cool 'cause at least he's speaking truth to power πŸ’ͺ what do u guys think about trump being indicted tho? was it all just politics or did smthng fishy go down 🐟
 
omg what's goin on here 🀯 so republicans are investigatin jack smith now? isn't he supposed to be above politics already? i mean we know trump's been tryin to use his powers to undermine democracy, but it seems like the GOP is just tryin to pin the blame on someone else... πŸ˜’ what's next, are they gonna start questionin smith about his cat? 🐈 lol no seriously though, how much do you guys think smith knows about trump's alleged "witch-hunt"? πŸ€”
 
I don't get why Republicans are suddenly all about transparency and accountability when it comes to Jack Smith... πŸ€” Like, what's good for the goose isn't always good for the gander, right? I mean, if they want to scrutinize him, shouldn't they be doing the same thing with everyone who worked on Trump's case? It just looks like a double standard to me... πŸ˜’
 
Oh man, this is getting messy! 🀯 I'm loving how the Republicans are trying to scrutinize Jack Smith's past but it feels like they're really just trying to discredit him. Like, can't they just focus on the facts? πŸ™„ The whole thing with the phone records and January 6 riot investigation is so suspicious. I mean, what were they hiding?

And honestly, I'm still shook by those two indictments against Trump. I don't know how it all went down but I'm glad the Justice Department policy prevented a president from being prosecuted while in office. That would've been a total mess! 🀯 The whole thing with Smith's team saying their decisions were guided by facts and law... yeah, I believe them. They're not trying to be partisan, they just want to get to the truth. πŸ’‘
 
This whole thing with Jack Smith is getting out of hand 🀯. I mean, come on, Republicans in Congress are essentially trying to investigate someone's personal history just because they're not happy with their work. It's like, can't we focus on the bigger picture here? πŸ™„ The fact that Trump was indicted and then had his cases dropped is still a pretty big deal, regardless of what happened next. I'm also curious about why Smith is being singled out so much - isn't it fair to hold everyone accountable for their actions, even if they're in power? πŸ€”
 
This is getting crazy... 🀯 The Republicans are really milking this investigation thingy, aren't they? I mean, Jack Smith just did his job and followed procedure, and now he's being hounded by Congress. It's like, chill out guys! πŸ™„ They're basically trying to undermine the entire investigative process and make it look like politics is playing a role here when it might not be the case.

And what's with the subpoenas? Can't they just let the man do his thing? I get that they want answers, but Smith's team has said all they can say. The more Republicans dig in, the more it looks like they're trying to sabotage the investigations and Trump's reputation. Not cool, guys... not cool at all πŸ˜’
 
I'm totally fine with Republicans investigating Jack Smith's past - I mean, who doesn't love a good witch hunt right? πŸ§™β€β™‚οΈ But seriously, it just goes to show how out of touch they are with the facts. Like, if Trump's lawyers could've gotten their hands on those phone records before now, wouldn't that have been the end of the whole thing? Noooo, instead they're trying to muddy the waters and undermine the integrity of the investigation.

And let's be real, Smith's team is just playing right into their hands. By painting themselves as heroes who followed the law, they're actually fueling the very conspiracy theories they claim to be fighting against. It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion - you know it's gonna end badly, but you can't look away! πŸ˜‚
 
I'm intrigued by this development πŸ€”. It seems to me that the Republican-led investigation into Jack Smith's past is more about undermining his credibility rather than scrutinizing any actual wrongdoing on his part πŸ™„. The fact that they've issued a subpoena, despite him previously offering to cooperate, suggests a level of skepticism towards his methods and motivations πŸ’‘. However, it's also worth noting that the investigation does seem to be driven by concerns about Trump's actions and potential improprieties in the 2020 election πŸ“Š. In any case, I think it's essential to separate facts from partisan narratives and ensure that investigations are conducted in a transparent and impartial manner πŸ’―.
 
OMG, this is getting crazy 🀯! I mean, I get it, politicians are always gonna try to keep each other in check, but come on... why do they need to dig up Jack Smith's past? He's just trying to do his job and follow the law. It feels like they're trying to deflect from the real issues and make him some kind of scapegoat πŸ™„. And what's with all these investigations? Can't they just focus on finding solutions instead of tearing people down? I'm worried that this is gonna lead to more division and drama, and honestly, it's just exhausting 😩.
 
OMG u gotta see dis 🀯 so like republicans r trying to get dirt on Jack Smith, who led investigations that landed Trump in hot water 🀣 but smiths team is all about stayin factual πŸ’― and not lettin politics cloud their judgment πŸ˜’ meanwhile trump's still tryna spin it as a witch hunt πŸ§™β€β™‚οΈ can't say I'm surprised tho, this is like the ultimate case of dog bites man πŸ• but Republicans r just mad bc they lost re-election πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ guess you could say this is just another attempt to distract from their own failures 😴
