Jack Smith blew a gasket after Florida threw him this nasty curveball

Jack Smith continues to push the envelope in his witch hunt against Donald Trump.

Now he’s opened himself up to blowback after crossing one bright red line. 

And Jack Smith blew a gasket after Florida threw him this nasty curveball.

Jack Smith trying to muzzle Donald Trump with an unconstitutional gag order

Special Counsel Jack Smith has been getting smacked down by the judge for his prosecutorial overreach in his case against former President Donald Trump.

But that’s not dissuading Smith and his band of rogue prosecutors from pushing their luck.

His office requested that District Judge Aileen Cannon slap a gag order on Trump to stop him from making public comments that “pose a significant, imminent, and foreseeable danger to law enforcement agents participating in the investigation and prosecution of this case.”

An early court filing revealed that FBI agents had deadly force authorization and were cleared to pick locks during their surprise August 2022 raid on Mar-a-Lago.

Trump said the FBI was “locked & loaded ready to take me out & put my family in danger.”

Smith isn’t worried about the safety of law enforcement.

This is a scheme to unconstitutionally restrict the speech of a leading Presidential candidate.

Smith’s case is political and it’s been fought in the court of public opinion as well as the inside of a Florida courtroom.

That’s why some Trump allies are coming to his aid.

24 Republican Attorneys General file brief against the gag order

24 Republican Attorneys General filed an amicus brief asking Judge Cannon not to grant Smith’s request for a gag order on Trump calling it “unconstitutional.”

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody called putting a gag order on Trump a violation of his First Amendment rights.

“Once again, we are witnessing a prosecutor seek to keep the presumptive Republican nominee for President from speaking in the midst of an election,” Moody said. “The First Amendment, at its core, is designed to protect political speech, and I along with my colleagues will not stand idly by and watch the Biden administration trample the free speech of a Florida citizen.”

Moody is joined by Attorneys General from Iowa, West Virginia, Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming.

The Florida Attorney General’s brief notes that Smith’s request is vague and overbroad on what speech he wants to restrict.

“The federal government asks the district court to gag President Trump from making ‘statements that pose a significant, imminent, and foreseeable danger to law enforcement agents participating in the investigation and prosecution of [his] case.’ But what are those statements? The federal government does not explain,” Moody wrote.

Smith’s goal is to restrict as much by Trump as a judge will let him get away with.

Moody stressed the importance of free speech to the political process in the brief.

“‘Political speech is the primary object of First Amendment protection and the lifeblood of a self-governing people’ . . . Yet special prosecutor Jack Smith, on behalf of the United States, asks this Court to curtail that right by ordering a prior restraint on President Trump’s constitutionally protected speech. Such an order is presumptively unconstitutional . . . If granted, this request would prevent the presumptive Republican nominee for President of the United States from speaking out against ‘the prosecution and the criminal trial process that seek to take away his liberty,’” Moody stated.

Jack Smith is a political hatchet man assigned by Merrick Garland to take out Donald Trump.

And Ashley Moody is leading a band of Republican AGs to stop him.
