Ex-Obama spy chief prepped for anti-Trump trial by Biden-era special counsel's team, new records reveal
- Jack Smith told Senate Judiciary Committee he never met John Brennan.
- Declassified records prove Smith's top deputies met with Brennan at CIA HQ in 2023.
- Meeting agenda explicitly focused on expert testimony for the Trump documents case.
- Senator Chuck Grassley calls Smith's testimony 'highly evasive and misleading.'
Brief Summary
Former Special Counsel Jack Smith is under fire after declassified documents exposed that his team consulted with former CIA Director John Brennan while building the classified documents case against Donald Trump. Despite Smith’s adamant claims under oath that he had no involvement or counsel from Brennan, records confirm that two of his assistant special counsels met with the former spy chief at CIA headquarters in late 2023 to discuss trial strategy and expert testimony.
Why This Matters
This revelation exposes the incestuous relationship between the intelligence community and the legal apparatus used to target political opponents. If the government’s lead prosecutors are caught playing word games with Congress about who is pulling the strings behind the curtain, you have to wonder what else is being hidden. This isn't just about a trial; it’s about the erosion of trust in the institutions meant to serve the law, proving that 'justice' is often just a coordinated effort by the swamp to maintain its grip on power.
