Democratic narrative

The investigations over Jan. 6 and Trump’s possession of classified documents were gathering steam before Smith came in.

Pro-Trump narrative

Smith, a known Democratic hack with a history of persecuting Republicans, is being used by Garland to carry out a political hitjob on Trump ahead of his 2024 run for president. It’s dangerous when an administration investigates its political opponents for exercising their right to free speech, which was all Trump did when he objected to the 2020 election results.
