The labyrinthine network of the Deep State, with its unseen ties and alliances, is more intricate than many of us can fathom.
It's a complex web that could confound even the most determined investigator.
In a recent revelation, as reported by RedState, Special Counsel Jack Smith, known for his anti-Trump stance and the two criminal cases he filed against President Trump, has confessed to receiving $140,000 in complimentary legal services from a renowned law firm in Washington D.C.
Before his resignation last month, Smith was the recipient of pro bono legal services from Covington & Burling, a prestigious law firm based in the nation's capital. This information was disclosed in a statement Smith submitted on January 10, in relation to his departure from the Justice Department.
The necessity of such extensive legal representation for a mere resignation remains a mystery. Even in the elite circles of D.C., a $140,000 legal bill appears exorbitant for someone merely stepping down from their position. The law firm, however, has remained tight-lipped on the matter.
A spokesperson for Covington declined to comment on the issue, and two of the firm's lawyers who represented Smith, Peter Koski and Lanny Breuer, did not respond to requests for comments.
Naturally, attorney-client privilege is in effect, and Smith is entitled to its protections, just like any other individual facing legal scrutiny.
Sean Davis, CEO and co-founder of The Federalist, recently shed some light on the potential legal violations Smith's acceptance of these services may have entailed. He questioned the legality of a law firm with clients and business before the Department of Justice (DOJ) providing such a significant amount of free services to a top DOJ official.
Davis pointed out that DOJ rules and federal regulations explicitly prohibit officials like Smith from accepting or soliciting gifts. He called for a criminal investigation into Smith, who did not receive a pardon from President Joe Biden.
Attorney General Pam Bondi, though new to her role, is no stranger to such complexities. With her extensive experience, she is likely to take a keen interest in the events surrounding the Trump legal cases and the January 6 incident. Bondi has already issued a directive to the Justice Department, emphasizing the need to restore public trust and ensure the Department's readiness to faithfully implement the policy agenda of the duly elected President.
While it's too early to draw definitive conclusions, the mainstream media's silence on such apparent misconduct involving Democrats is noteworthy. This is especially true when contrasted with their readiness to pounce on Republicans at the slightest hint of impropriety. This is essentially what Smith did to President Trump.
