Good. He's too politically biased to hold a position in any department called justice. Thing is, I think he could have nailed Trump had he not been trying so hard to burn him to a cinder.
Jack Smith resigns from Justice Department

Wasn't part of his deal the classified material? That's what I was thinking of. His lawsuits are/were many and overlap. Minus all the smoke and mirrors and pushing the assumption that accountability by law distinguishes between politicians and we mere mortals, a good military prosecutor could have taken the lot of them down on the classified material.
Just my opinion that Smith was dragging it out trying so had for overkill, the only thing he killed was his pre-election timeline.

Equivocally, Biden's would be weakest. Hillary's was a slam dunk. Classified server in an unsecure location. Bathroom linen closest does not qualify as a CMCC. I don't know that it gets worse than that.
Trump was in possession of classified material he had no right to be in possession of. Classified material belongs to the government, not the individual.
In my world there was no equivocating. The slightest offense is punishable by law under the UCMJ and the US Code. Punishment decided by the level of threat created by (possible)disclosure. I guess I take it personally because had I committed any of their violations I would have been crucified. There is still stuff I am not clear to discuss, to my knowledge and when in doubt, lose lips sink ships. I know nothing
Point is, at least in writing, the same laws that applied to me apply to them. The fact that they are selectively enforced based on position and politics pisses me off.

I don't agree with Smith painting himself the selfless martyr following only the letter of the law. As stated above, had he not been so politically Hell bent on destroying Trump and each and every turn, he probably could have gotten a conviction on the classified material alone.
I don't think he's all wrong though. He just couldn't get out of his own way.
Jack Smith denounces Trump's conduct, calls his accusations 'laughable'
