‘Garland Didn’t Care And Was All On Board’: Gregg Jarrett Calls Out Jack Smith’s Violations In Handling Trump Case

Legal analyst Gregg Jarrett, Tuesday on Fox Business, criticized what he said were special counsel Jack Smith’s Department of Justice (DOJ) violations in handling President-elect Donald Trump’s legal case.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon temporarily halted the Justice Department’s release of a report by Smith concerning investigations related to Trump. During an appearance on “The Evening Edit,” Jarrett said he applauded Cannon’s decision and accused Smith of overstepping his bounds.

“This was a correct ruling by Judge Cannon who dismissed the case against Trump months ago because Jack Smith was unlawfully appointed as special counsel. That means everything Smith did is null and void. Why therefore should an unauthorized counsel release an unauthorized report? He shouldn’t,” Jarrett said.

Jarrett then criticized what he said was the one-sided nature of the report which, he said, sought solely to try to tarnish Trump’s reputation. He also said that Smith had previously leaked substantial portions of the same allegations to the public through court filings just before the election.

“It’s totally unfair to Donald Trump to release it, a one-sided report filled with unproven accusations that only has, as you point out, one objective: to sully the incoming president. And having said that, it doesn’t really matter because Smith already leaked the very same material to the public in court papers gratuitously right before the election,” the legal analyst said.
