On Thursday, David Strom at Hot Air posted an article about some of the massive abuses of power by former Special Counsel Jack Smith and the media silence about those abuses.

The article notes:

Smith, you will recall, was the illegally appointed Special Counsel assigned to destroy Donald Trump and any of his supporters. Merrick Garland broke the law by appointing him, and Smith’s bogus case fell apart spectacularly when Judge Aileen Cannon ruled that Garland broke the rules when appointing him.

Smith appealed, and in the meantime, Trump won reelection, and Smith resigned in disgrace.

Still, Smith was a busy beaver as Special Counsel. So busy, in fact, that the chances that you, my reader, wound up in his spreadsheet of potential insurrectionists?

Did you make a political donation over the past 20 years? You could be on his list!

The article quotes The New York Post:

 Ex-special counsel Jack Smith obtained personal information on 639,000 Republican donors, voters and supporters — including some who contributed as little as $1 or bought “red MAGA hats” — according to subpoena returns obtained by a Senate Republican committee.

In a Wednesday memo, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) disclosed the details of data Smith’s office received, denouncing the former prosecutor of President Trump for “abuse of authority.”

More than 148,000 rows on spreadsheets contained the findings, including donors from 2005 to 2021.

These are the items on the spreadsheets:

• Names; dates of birth; physical addresses (“most states and U.S. territories, including the home states of every Judiciary Committee member”); email addresses
• Whether the individual was a registered Republican; congressional district and state legislative district
• Occupation and place of employment — samples: “janitor, doorman, pool tech, driver, logger, safety manager and retired”
• Donation amount (“as low as $1; generally, donation amounts were under $1,000”)
• Credit card information (including last four digits)
• Donor analysis data (one-time vs. recurring donations, amounts)
• Earliest donor contribution captured dates back to 2005
• Merch strand: a catalogue of 2024 Trump campaign products (“these red hats, t-shirts, mugs, and door mats,” per the memo via the Post) plus hat-sale records tying individual purchasers to home shipping addresses.

The article concludes:

You can’t make it up. His investigation of the 2021 “insurrection” required investigating almost every Republican Senator and Trump’s 2024 campaign?

Uh, yeah, no. It was the creation of an enemies list, complete with backgrounds on and financial records of the “enemies.”

For this, Smith is a hero to the Democrats, and their only regret seems to be that he didn’t manage to keep Trump out of the Oval Office again. They were determined to jail him. Apparently, along with his aides and supporters.

I don’t care if you are disappointed in Trump right now. Voting for Democrats is voting for more of this type of tyranny.

Please consider this when you vote.
