House Republicans have demanded answers from former special counsel Jack Smith, and good — this is long overdue. The Judiciary Committee’s move to call Smith in for testimony is exactly the oversight Americans deserved after years of one-way Justice Department weaponization.
Serious questions are swirling around Smith’s conduct, including recent reporting that his team obtained phone records showing calls by Republican senators in the days around January 6, and broader allegations of prosecutorial overreach. If federal prosecutors used the tools of the state to snoop on elected lawmakers or to silence a political opponent, that is not just sloppy lawyering — it is an abuse of power the American people should not tolerate.
On Newsmax’s American Agenda, Trump advisory board member Jason Meister didn’t mince words, demanding that Jack Smith be sanctioned, disbarred, indicted, convicted and imprisoned — a blistering call for accountability that many patriots feel captures the seriousness of the accusations. Meister is no fringe commentator; he’s a regular Newsmax presence and a voice in conservative circles who is now echoing what millions of Americans suspect: the system was being used as a political cudgel.
Make no mistake: this is not just partisan chest-thumping. Jack Smith led high-profile probes that were dropped after the 2024 election and he resigned from the Justice Department earlier this year, which makes it all the more important for Congress to demand a full accounting of what happened and why. If there was misconduct, cover-ups, or deliberate targeting, the people calling for real consequences are right to press for them until the truth comes out.
Some in the elite media will try to gaslight this into “both sides” noise or claim Republicans are settling political scores. Hardworking Americans know the difference between oversight and revenge. Holding prosecutors to account for abuse of power isn’t retaliation — it’s restoring the rule of law and protecting the next president, regardless of party, from the same weaponization these bureaucrats unleashed.
Congress should move quickly, and conservatives should not accept half-measures. If evidence shows Smith broke laws, misled courts, or violated ethical rules, then professional disciplines, criminal referrals, and even disbarment hearings must follow. The country cannot rebuild trust in its institutions until those who abused them face real consequences.
