On December 3, 2025, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) issued a subpoena compelling former Special Counsel Jack Smith to sit for a closed-door interview on December 17, 2025, and turn over records related to his high-profile prosecutions of President Donald Trump. Smith, appointed in 2022 by AG Merrick Garland, led probes into Trump's alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election and mishandling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, filing indictments in both cases before dropping them after Trump's 2024 victory—citing DOJ policy against charging a sitting president. The subpoena targets Smith's team's aggressive tactics, including subpoenas for phone toll records (call numbers, times, durations) from select GOP lawmakers around January 6, 2021, without content review. Smith had offered public testimony six weeks earlier, but Republicans insisted on privacy to probe sensitive details. His attorney, Peter Koski, decried the snub: "We are disappointed... the American people will be denied the opportunity to hear directly from Jack." Smith's team fired back in October, insisting their work was "consistent with... following the facts and the law, without fear or favor," and that toll record grabs were "entirely proper."
Finally, some red-meat justice from House Republicans—Chairman Jim Jordan's subpoena on Jack Smith is a long-overdue gut punch to the deep state's star chamber that spent years weaponizing the DOJ against President Trump like a bad episode of Law & Order: Election Interference Edition. This isn't just oversight; it's an exorcism of the Garland-Gang's partisan playbook, dragging Smith into a closed-door confessional on December 17 to spill on his sham probes: the "overturn 2020" fairy tale and the Mar-a-Lago "classified docs" circus, both conveniently "dropped" the second Trump reclaimed the White House. Why the hush-hush session? Because unlike Smith's virtue-signaling offer for a public circus (where he'd spin yarns for CNN), this forces real accountability—uncovering how his goon squad vacuumed up GOP lawmakers' phone records around J6 like Big Brother on steroids, all without peeking at actual calls. Proper? Lawful? Tell that to the conservatives whose privacy got shredded in the name of "democracy."
Smith's October sob story—"facts and law, without fear or favor"—is laughable gaslighting from a guy whose "career" screams selective prosecution: Hammer Trump, ignore Hunter's laptop or Hillary's server. And his lawyer's whine about denying the "American people" a show? Spare us—folks have heard enough from this Biden bunker boy to know it's all smoke, no fire. This subpoena is Trump-derangement detox: Expose the bias, reclaim the rule of law, and remind the swamp that the era of lawfare against MAGA is deader than Crooked Joe's re-election dreams. GOP, keep the heat on—subpoena more, indict less, and let's Make Justice Great Again. Who's cheering this takedown of the resistance racket?
