EXPLOSIVE: Jack Smith’s Prosecutors Caught Committing the Exact Crimes They Charged Trump With

The hypocrisy is breathtaking. Jack Smith’s own prosecution team violated classified document protocols while simultaneously pursuing President Trump for nearly identical conduct—a stunning double standard now exposed by internal government records that reveal the Biden Justice Department’s shameless political weaponization.

Internal communications from Smith’s special counsel office show prosecutors carelessly handled the nation’s most sensitive secrets throughout 2023 and 2024. These weren’t minor oversights—they were the exact security violations Smith’s team claimed warranted criminal charges against a former president.

The Evidence Is Damning

Messages from July 2023 reveal Smith’s investigators provided “access to classified materials” without verifying recipients had legitimate “need to know” authorization. That’s not a technicality—that’s a fundamental breach of national security protocols that every government employee with a security clearance understands from day one.

It gets worse.

On October 15 and 16, 2023, “a classified letter” was simply left out in the open. Then on April 19, 2024, a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF)—a specially constructed room designed to prevent the compromise of America’s most guarded secrets—remained unlocked overnight because “no one closed it the day before.”

Let that sink in. Smith’s team left a SCIF open while prosecuting Trump for far less egregious conduct.

Even DOJ Veterans Were Alarmed

“That’s a violation and an incident so I need to know the details,” wrote Carli Rodriguez-Feo, a Department of Justice veteran from the Litigation Security Group. The alarm in her message underscores what any honest observer already knows—these weren’t innocent mistakes.

Records indicate Stephanie Van Buskirk, an assistant to Smith, bore responsibility for at least one security lapse. Yet there’s no evidence anyone faced consequences, no indication of disciplinary action, no acknowledgment to the federal court overseeing Trump’s case.

The rules, apparently, only apply to Republicans.

Two Systems of Justice

This revelation exposes the rotten core of the Biden Justice Department’s crusade against Trump. Smith indicted the 45th president twice in 2023—first in June for the classified documents case, then in August for the election case. Both prosecutions collapsed before Trump’s triumphant return to the White House in January 2025.

A federal judge in South Florida dismissed the documents case entirely, ruling that Smith’s appointment violated the Constitution because he lacked congressional approval. Smith himself requested dismissal of the election case after Trump’s decisive victory over Kamala Harris proved the American people saw through the political persecution.

The contrast couldn’t be starker. While Smith’s prosecutors fumbled classified materials with impunity, they demanded Trump’s head for storing presidential records at Mar-a-Lago—a property with Secret Service protection.

The Pattern Is Undeniable

Senator Chuck Grassley, the Iowa Republican whose dogged oversight continues exposing Washington’s corruption, released these damning communications in a letter to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. His assessment pulls no punches.

“Talk about the pot calling the kettle black,” Grassley declared. “According to these messages, Biden DOJ personnel may have committed the very offense for which Jack Smith was prosecuting President Trump.”

Grassley’s letter connects the dots to a broader pattern of partisan selectivity. Hillary Clinton mishandled classified material on her private server—material that foreign adversaries almost certainly accessed—yet Barack Obama’s Justice Department gave her a pass.

Joe Biden willfully hoarded classified documents at his Delaware home and his post-vice presidency Washington office for years. Special counsel Robert Hur found Biden retained these materials illegally but declined prosecution, claiming a jury would view Biden as a “sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory.”

Translation: Biden was too senile to prosecute but somehow competent enough to remain president.

Justice Restored

“These records expose yet another double standard of justice,” Grassley stated with characteristic clarity. “While Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden escaped accountability for mishandling highly classified information, Jack Smith and the Biden DOJ set out to paint President Trump as a felon and ruin him politically.”

He’s exactly right. The Biden administration transformed America’s justice system into a weapon against political opponents while exempting Democrats from the same standards. Smith’s prosecution wasn’t about national security or the rule of law—it was pure political theater designed to interfere with the 2024 election.

“These and other records I’ve made public show the Biden Justice Department was unquestionably careless, not to mention highly hypocritical,” Grassley concluded.

Accountability Must Follow

Grassley has demanded answers from the Justice Department: Who exactly was involved in these security breaches? Was any investigation conducted? Did anyone face consequences? Did Smith’s team inform the federal court about their own violations while prosecuting Trump?

The questions answer themselves. Of course there was no accountability. Democrats don’t face consequences in Washington’s two-tiered justice system.

The American people delivered their verdict on this corruption in November 2024, returning Trump to the White House with a mandate to restore equal justice. These revelations vindicate Trump’s consistent claims that Smith’s prosecution was a politically motivated witch hunt executed by partisan hacks who believed themselves above the law.

They were wrong. The truth is emerging, and it’s uglier than even Trump’s supporters imagined. Smith’s entire operation was built on hypocrisy, powered by partisan hatred, and executed with the same carelessness they claimed warranted destroying a former president.

Justice delayed is not justice denied. President Trump has been vindicated. Now the American people deserve a full accounting of this disgraceful episode—and those responsible must finally face the accountability they tried so hard to escape.

The double standard ends now.
