Jack Smith and his secret staff takedown of Trump
Never mind for a moment the indictments against Donald Trump — Democrats have been prosecuting and persecuting this president since the early days of his announced 2016 run for president; if it’s not this indictment, it’s that; if it’s not that allegation, it’s this; if it’s not Russia collusion, Russia collusion, Russia collusion, it’s some crazy pee tape or another.
But shouldn’t Americans know who’s on the team now trying to take down Trump?
Team Jack Smith, the special counsel appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland to go after Trump, apparently thinks not — that it’s a matter of “privacy” to withhold the names of those involved in this investigation, as Fox News reported.
That hardly sounds American.
The Constitution, after all, clearly states in the Sixth Amendment that the “accused shall enjoy the right” “to be confronted with the witnesses against him.” Yes, that’s a stipulation for trial. But shouldn’t that spirit — shouldn’t that intent — apply to instances where tax-paid government bureaucrats working for agencies already seen as political weapons are hand-picked to prosecute the guy who happens to be the front-runner for president for the party that’s opposite the one in charge?
