Biden DOJ’s Corruption Laid Bare: The Dirty Tricks Behind Jack Smith’s Report

The freshly released Jack Smith report is a textbook example of a dirty “legal wrap-up smear,” a term describing the intersection of partisan politics and legal weaponization. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi explained this tactic in 2017:
"You smear somebody with falsehoods... you merchandise it, and then you write it, and they’ll say, ‘See, it’s reported in the press.’ Then it’s called a wrap-up smear."This tactic is glaringly evident in the report’s handling of former President Donald Trump. One of its most egregious admissions is that prosecutors considered—but ultimately declined—to charge Trump under the Insurrection Act. This is significant because Democrats impeached Trump for inciting an insurrection, a claim prosecutors now deem unsustainable in court.
Consider this: impeachment was framed around a supposed crime that prosecutors couldn’t justify legally. This misuse of a constitutional mechanism transforms a solemn process into a tool for political theater, validating a narrative that falls apart under scrutiny.
The report further claims courts have described January 6th as an “insurrection,” citing a Colorado court decision that sought to bar Trump from running under the 14th Amendment. However, this decision was unanimously overturned by the Supreme Court, a fact glaringly omitted. This selective citation undermines the report’s credibility and manipulates public perception.
This is a classic wrap-up smear in action. The original claim—that Trump incited an insurrection—circulates endlessly in the media, despite its shaky foundation. The Jack Smith report then “merchandises” this narrative with selective evidence and reasoning. When media outlets report on the report, the cycle completes, giving the smear unwarranted credibility. This is not justice but a strategy to delegitimize Trump and his supporters.
The report also distorts Trump’s legal challenges to the 2020 election. Critics claim Trump “lost 60 lawsuits,” but this number is misleading. Trump filed approximately 28 lawsuits, of which 70% were dismissed on procedural grounds like standing or mootness. Only eight cases were heard on their merits, and Trump won four. The real failure lies in courts’ unwillingness to engage with evidence, not a sweeping legal defeat as often portrayed.
Spending $100 million on an investigation like this guarantees a politically motivated outcome. The Jack Smith report wasn’t about uncovering truth but advancing an agenda. Its public release was a deliberate move to influence opinion, regardless of legal shortcomings. This isn’t about justice but shaping the narrative.
