Jack Smith speaks out publicly after Trump prosecution

Original: Oh wow, good for him. And as far as I know, Jack Smith *still* has First Amendment rights – even after prosecuting Trump

Former special counsel Jack Smith, who led the federal prosecutions of Donald Trump, has made public remarks drawing praise and reaction online. Commenters noted that Smith retains his First Amendment rights despite criticism from Trump and his allies following the cases. The remarks come as Trump returns to power and the prosecutions were dropped under Justice Department policy against sitting presidents.

Why now: Smith rarely speaks publicly, so any comments from him after the dropped Trump cases attract attention
