‘Brickbat Tactics’: Legal Experts React to Evidence of Trump Prosecutor’s Previous Misconduct
BY CATHERINE SALGADO 1:07 PM ON JUNE 15, 2023Based on a 2019 complaint and request for investigation filed on Renzi’s behalf by respected legal firm Mayer Brown, evidence was found of prosecutorial misconduct including improper media leaks, illegal wiretaps, concealment of exculpatory evidence and impeachment evidence, destruction of evidence, and introduction of false testimony before and during Renzi’s trial.
But while the former allegations were mainly directed at prosecutors working under the supervision of now-Trump Special Counsel Jack Smith, Smith’s involvement was apparently more direct. Renzi presented evidence tying Jack Smith and David Harbach, both now prosecuting Trump, to “prosecutorial misconduct” and shady behavior involving jury influencing, illegal wiretaps, and more.
“The prosecutorial misconduct of Jack Smith and his lead prosecutor in my case, David Harbach, is what led to the presidential pardon” that Trump gave him, the former congressman told me. And two Republican legal experts reacted by slamming Smith and his prosecutorial team in exclusive comments to PJ Media.
Center for Renewing America Senior Fellow and Director of Litigation Jeff Clark, a former Trump official, noted that Smith and his team do indeed seem to be following the same playbook with Trump as with Renzi. “There are explosive allegations from Stanley Woodward, the lawyer for Walt Nauta, President Trump’s co-defendant in the Mar-a-Lago case, indicating that the Special Counsel’s Office tried to lean on him improperly to convince Nauta to cooperate against Trump,” Clark explained. “Specifically, the Guardian reports that one of the Special Counsel lawyers reporting to Jack Smith threatened Woodward’s pending application to the Biden administration to be nominated to serve on a court in D.C.”

Now we know why Joe Biden and Merrick Garland chose him.
