Special Counsel Jack Smith who brought cases against President-elect Donald Trump for his handling of classified documents and his actions after his election defeat to President Joe Biden will face consequences for his actions.

Former federal prosecutor Andrew Cherkasky said that Smith and other prosecutors will face investigations “because of the huge cost and ultimate failure” of the prosecutions, The Daily Caller reported.

“Whether that yields findings of criminality is unlikely. However, I think it will find that Smith’s novel legal approach was fraught with issues that should have led a reasonable prosecutor to decline prosecution,” he said to the Daily Caller News Foundation in an exclusive interview. “Smith is already leaving his special counsel post, but I anticipate some of the lawyers working under him will also be forced out of the [Department of Justice] DOJ for engaging in a legally unsound prosecution.”

“There is a lot of evidence that the congressional Jan. 6 committee intentionally avoided evidence beneficial to Trump’s position, and if Smith did the same, his conduct could be grounds for more severe consequences,” he said.

The Heritage Oversight Project said it was preparing a “a model indictment” against Smith.

It said that Smith could be charged for a conspiracy to violate an individual’s civil rights, it also said that there are “other potential avenues as well.”

“Jack Smith and his office must face severe legal, political, and financial consequences for their blatant lawfare and election interference,” Mike Davis, the president off the Article III Project said  on X. “This includes a federal criminal probe for conspiracy against rights under 18 U.S.C. § 241.”

After Smith filed paperwork to drop the charges against the president-elect his Vice President-elect, Ohio Republican Sen. JD Vance said on X that if Vice President Kamala Harris had won, it was likely that Trump would have spent the rest of his life in prison.

“If Donald J. Trump had lost an election, he may very well have spent the rest of his life in prison. These prosecutions were always political. Now it’s time to ensure what happened to President Trump never happens in this country again,” he said.

Heritage Foundation’s Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies Deputy Director Charles Stimson said “I don’t think they’re going to spend a tremendous amount of time deciding whether Jack Smith, who will not be employed by the Justice Department, should be prosecuted.”

Trump reportedly has a plan in place to fire the entire team of Special Counsel Jack Smith, including the prosecutor himself, and investigate the results of the previous election in which he was defeated by President Joe Biden.

The president-elect plans to even get rid of the career attorneys that are typically protected from political retribution, The Washington post reported.

Trump “wants to clean out ‘the bad guys, the people who went after me,’” a source close to the president-elect said.

The special prosecutor’s team consists of dozens of attorneys, FBI agents and staff who were likely assigned to the cases and did not choose to be on his team, the report said.

“President Trump campaigned on firing rogue bureaucrats who have engaged in the illegal weaponization of our American justice system, and the American people can expect he will deliver on that promise,” Karoline Leavitt, the press secretary for the president-elect, said to The Post.

“House Republicans previously told Justice Department officials that anyone who had worked on the Trump cases with Smith should preserve all of their communications in a move that signaled that Smith, among others, could be targeted by congressional investigators,” the report said.
