Former Special Counsel Jack Smith issued a stark warning about Donald Trump in a "rare public appearance," according to a legal expert. Legal analyst Allison Gill, better known as Mueller, She Wrote, noted on Saturday that Smith "delivered remarks at George Mason University this week, warning of the weaponization of the Justice Department under the Trump administration."

After reminding readers that Smith "was appointed by Merrick Garland in November of 2022 to continue the ongoing investigations into the January 6th attack on the Capitol and the unlawful retention of national defense information and subsequent obstruction of justice by Donald Trump," Gill pointed out how she got the details about the lowkey meeting.

"Former Deputy Director of the FBI Andrew McCabe, was in the audience and described to me what he heard," she wrote. "Smith spoke about the rule of law being under attack in a way that he hasn’t seen in his lifetime, and that he’s saddened by the firing of selfless public servants, the government using its vast powers to target citizens for exercising their constitutional rights, and the loss of credibility with the courts and the people."

She also added, "If you listen to the UnJustified podcast, you’ll recall that Andy and I have been talking about the destruction of the presumption of regularity and the loss of the court’s faith in the Justice Department at great length. Jack Smith shared those sentiments in his speech."
