Shortly after the 2022 midterm elections, Attorney General Merrick Garland named a special counsel to convict Donald Trump of trying to overthrow the United States government.
It was a difficult task. After all, the “evidence” could easily be seen as constitutionally protected speech and actions. But Garland needed a bulldog to bite down on Trump’s leg and not let go until the former president was in jail and the Republican Party was virtually destroyed.
He found his bulldog in Jack Smith. Smith had the zeal to make jailing Trump a crusade, having spent several years prosecuting war crimes at The Hague. He has almost universally been described as “relentless” in pursuit of his quarry.
A yipping and yapping chihuahua trying to get it's mouth open enough to nip at President Trump's heel, not a bulldog biting a leg.
