Jack Smith, the Democrats’ anointed lawfare orchestrator who assembled multiple cases, which all eventually failed, against President Trump, is known to have obtained the secret phone records of members of the U.S. Senate.
And messages to and from a long list of media outlets.
And even copies of thousands and thousands of personal checks used by individuals to donate to Trump.
He’s already been grilled by members of Congress and described in unflattering terms, even for a lawyer.
Now it appears he’s to be put further on defense: A senator has filed a bar complaint against Smith over his “Arctic Frost” lawfare investigation that ended up in failure.
A report at the Federalist confirms the allegations come from Sen. Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn.
He alleges “serious misconduct” on the part of the Biden-era lawfare case promoter.
Smith, in fact, is “a blatantly partisan actor and his prosecutorial misconduct damaged our constitutional order. He should never be able to practice law again,” Hagerty charged.
The complaint has gone to the Tennessee Supreme Court’s Board of Professional Responsibility and cites Smith’s subpoenas through which he obtained phone toll records of Hagerty and other Republican members of Congress.
Smith then further demanded non-disclosure orders so that the senators wouldn’t know he had obtained their records in a move critics now describe as a preliminary for Democrats to stage additional lawfare against the entire Republican party should Kamala Harris have won the last election.
I filed a bar complaint against Jack Smith this morning. He’s a blatantly partisan actor and his prosecutorial misconduct damaged our constitutional order. He should never be able to practice law again.

Sen. Hagerty Files Bar Complaint Against Jack Smith Over Arctic Frost Lawfare https://t.co/V7EeXvzJfv

Hagerty charged Smith broke federal law with his “lack of candor,” as well as his “invasion of the very constitutional privileges that ensure a fully free legislative process.”
The Constitution’s speech or debate clause, in fact, gives very high protections to communications among members of Congress.
However, when the leftist judge in Washington, James Boasberg, approved those censorship plans, he failed even to mention that constitutional requirement.
The senator charged Smith’s “unethical” antics violated the Tennessee Bar’s Rule of Professional Conduct.
He recommended an investigation and eventually, “disbarment” “in light of the gravity of Smith’s intentional conduct.”
