Jack Smith is a man who enjoys pointing fingers and thunderously proclaiming wrongs and self-righteously swooping to attack. He doesn’t prosecute so much as persecute. And he draws joy from the mental image of cowering his victims in a corner and leaving them shaking and defenseless, frightened into utter obedience. That’s Christmas to him. You can tell that just by observing him. That makes him the man of the hour for Democrats. Smith has convinced a grand jury — which is to say he stood before a grand jury and opened his mouth — to go forward with a federal case against Trump for the crime, to put it concisely, of exercising his constitutionally protected, God-given right of free speech.
