(TheLastPatriotNews.com) – In an announcement that has made patriots cheer, Donald Trump has declared his intention to fire special counsel Jack Smith if he is re-elected.
Trump made it clear during a conversation with Hugh Hewitt that Smith, who is investigating Trump’s past actions, would be “gone in two seconds.”
This bold declaration touches on core issues that have many conservative patriots nodding in agreement.
The former President’s statement sends a strong signal about his priorities.
He did not mince words, stating, “I would fire him within two seconds,” cited by KTEN.
Smith is currently investigating Trump’s involvement in alleged 2020 election interference.
Smith’s appointment by Attorney General Merrick Garland highlights the contentious nature of this investigation, one that Trump has clearly indicated will be a priority to terminate if he returns to the presidency.
Interestingly, the classified documents case against Trump was dismissed by a federal judge, but Smith is appealing.
Trump praised the judge, referring to her as “brave” and “brilliant.”
Speculation about Trump’s potential use of presidential powers to obstruct ongoing investigations by dismissing Smith stirs debate not only among his supporters but also among those following the case closely.
Trump has labeled Smith and the justice system as weaponized against him, which resonates with many on the conservative side.
While some legal experts question whether a president can actually fire a special counsel directly, the symbolism of Trump’s intent cannot be easily dismissed given his history with special counsels.
During his presidential term, Trump attempted to fire special counsel Robert Mueller but was unable to do so, fueling ongoing debates over presidential power.
Additionally, Trump has suggested using the justice system against political rivals, mentioning appointing a special prosecutor to investigate President Joe Biden.
Whether these statements reflect genuine political strategies or are merely rhetoric for his base is a matter of intense debate.
However, the suspended federal prosecutions, such as the one concerning election subversion charges, highlight the legal and political complexities Trump faces.
“No, I don’t think they’ll impeach me if I fire Jack Smith. Jack Smith is a scoundrel,” the former president has said, cited by The Washington Times.
As this legal saga unfolds, it remains clear that if given the opportunity, Trump plans to redirect the nation’s legal machinery as part of a broader strategy.
Yes indeed @realDonaldTrump said that, and he defended Judge Cannon against the smears. Full transcript posting as available at https://t.co/9yQhW0ADka. https://t.co/SwtL3WukF8
