Over the course of the last couple of years, Donald Trump has shared a few unkind words about special counsel Jack Smith. The former president has, for example, referred to the prosecutor as a “thug” in a “mental state of derangement” who “may very well turn out to be a criminal.” Soon after, the Republican condemned the special counsel as a “mad dog psycho.” He’s also accused Smith of overseeing “a Gestapo type operation,” as well as being an “animal” and a “lunatic.
Trump went on to say that Biden, Garland, and Smith are calling Cannon “terrible names, wrongfully threatening her with Impeachment, and disrespecting her.” Again, for those with even a passing interest in reality, the Republican’s claims are plainly delusional. No one involved in the prosecution of this case has engaged in name-calling toward the presiding judge. They’ve also not threatened to impeach her. But this isn’t a “Trump tells hysterical lies” post.
