‘He Is a CRIMINAL!’ Trump Calls for Jack Smith to Be Jailed

President Donald Trump called for former Special Counsel Jack Smith to be jailed over the investigation into him known as “Arctic Frost.”

In a post fired off on Truth Social Thursday, Trump wrote the following about Smith: “He is a CRIMINAL AND SHOULD BE IN JAIL. A MAJOR LOWLIFE AND FAILURE. An ugly person, both inside and out! I beat him badly, and love watching him squirm now.”

Trump linked to an article from right-leaning Just The News with the headline, “FBI memo opening Arctic Frost probe into Trump was thin on evidence and justification, experts say.”

The article began, “The FBI memo that opened the Biden-era Arctic Frost investigation into Donald Trump and hundreds of his allies over their Jan. 6 activities was thin on evidence and legal justifications, according to former prosecutors and FBI agents who found significant deficiencies when they reviewed the newly released document.”

The article continued:

The probe code named “Arctic Frost” was led by an openly anti-Trump FBI supervisor, was eventually taken over by Special Prosecutor Jack Smith and treated the effort by Trump’s allies to submit alternate electors to Congress to sway the certification of the 2020 election as a criminal conspiracy, even though two prior episodes in American history were not prosecuted as crimes.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo Thursday that the House Judiciary Committee may call for a public hearing with Smith, who headed up the probe.

“This is like so many of the investigations we’ve done, Maria. The only thing we get wrong when we start of these investigations is, it’s always worse than we thought. And this one was certainly the case,” Jordan said. “Because this was so expansive, so broad, Sen. Grassley was exactly right; this was a complete fishing expedition.”

Jordan added, “We want Jack Smith in a deposition format when he’s under oath. Will he answer our questions there? that’s what we want first before we think about a public hearing.”
