Apparently someone claims to have overheard Smith uttering the following while looking into a mirror:
“The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon you.”
Of course for all we know he’s just a Tarantino fan.
Special counsel Jack Smith has subpoenaed local officials in Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin — three states that were central to former president Donald Trump’s failed plan to stay in power following the 2020 election — for any and all communications with Trump, his campaign and a long list of aides and allies.
The requests for records arrived in Dane County, Wis.; Maricopa County, Ariz.; and Wayne County, Mich., late last week, and in Milwaukee on Monday, officials said. They are among the first known subpoenas issued by Smith, who was named last month by Attorney General Merrick Garland to oversee the Jan. 6 Capitol attack case as well as the criminal probe of Trump’s possible mishandling of classified documents at his Florida home.
I can see Dane County, being where the WI capitol is, but I’m confused by Milwaukee Co. I can’t remember who in MKE was sympathetic to The Rump at all. Maybe that Sheriff Clarke or someone, but was that dipstick even in office at the time?
No, this was not a crime, but Edwards’ wife Elizabeth was dying slowly of cancer at the time. Just incredibly thoughtless. Too bad he doomed the other John on the ticket.
The requested communications include those with Trump’s campaign manager, Bill Stepien, and other advisers, such as Boris Epshteyn. Attorneys identified include Trump campaign lawyers, such as Justin Clark and Matthew Morgan, as well as those serving in other capacities, such as John Eastman, Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell and Cleta Mitchell.
Those three subpoenas, while issued by Smith, were also signed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Matt Burke.
