The House Judiciary Committee has hinted at plans to expose the names of prosecutors working under special counsel Jack Smith. A committee spokesperson told the Gateway Pundit that “everything is on the table” regarding their next steps, signaling that the Republican-led body might escalate its oversight efforts.
This development follows the committee’s recent letter to Smith, demanding that he preserve all records and communications related to his investigations. The letter was prompted by concerns that Smith’s team might attempt to purge documents after President Donald Trump’s reelection and the Biden-Harris Justice Department’s upcoming transition.
The dems have been persecuting Trump, his lawyers, and his supporters for years — now it's time to reveal the names of these lawyers!

The letter referenced reports suggesting that Smith’s office had been preparing for Trump’s victory. “With President Trump’s decisive victory this week, we are concerned that the Office of Special Counsel may attempt to purge relevant records,” the letter stated. The committee also accused Smith’s office of lacking transparency and emphasized the need for accountability.
The Judiciary Committee directed Smith to safeguard all materials, including electronic communications, metadata, and messages sent from personal devices. The demand for records preservation is part of the broader Republican push to scrutinize investigations they view as politically motivated.

CNN recently reported that Smith’s team might resist disbanding. Sources close to the special counsel suggested Smith intends to keep his cases against Trump active for as long as possible. “He’s not going to be the one to say, ‘I’m going to fold the tent,’” a former Justice Department official told CNN.
On Friday, Smith asked Judge Tanya Chutkan to pause the federal case against Trump. He cited the need for time to evaluate the situation following Trump’s reelection. Smith promised to inform the court of his plans by Dec. 2, according to Spectrum News.
Smith has pursued two high-profile cases against Trump, one concerning efforts to challenge the 2020 election and another involving classified documents. However, the latter case suffered a setback when Judge Aileen Cannon ruled that Smith’s appointment was unlawful. Smith is appealing the decision, but Republicans are determined to hold his office accountable.
