New prosecutor Jack Smith, recently joined, has a strong Democratic donation record.
Department of Justice Special Counsel Adds Anti-Trumper to Team in Pursuit of Former President Donald Trump
The Department of Justice special counsel, Jack Smith, has made a significant addition to his team in the ongoing effort to bring down former President Donald Trump. This new member, with a history of opposing Trump, is none other than war crimes prosecutor Alex Whiting, as reported by Politico.
Smith and Whiting have previously worked together, prosecuting crimes against humanity at the Hague in the late 1990s. Whiting brings with him a wealth of experience, having served as a prosecutor with the International Criminal Court and the DOJ in Boston, specializing in organized crime.
Furthermore, Whiting was hired by Harvard Law School’s then-Dean Elena Kagan to teach, who now sits on the U.S. Supreme Court.
While Smith has not disclosed Whiting’s specific role on his prosecutorial staff, it is evident that Whiting is a clear partisan. He has written articles and given interviews in support of Robert Mueller’s investigation into the Trump campaign, confidently asserting that Mueller had damning evidence against Trump. However, as we now know, Mueller’s investigation yielded nothing substantial.
Additionally, Whiting has a history of donating to Democratic candidates, including Elizabeth Warren and Barack Obama, as revealed by Open Secrets.

It is evident that Smith has no intention of treating Trump fairly, so the appointment of Whiting comes as no surprise. Smith has faced setbacks in his cases against Trump, including a recent ruling that denied him access to Rep. Scott Perry’s phone records, a Trump ally. This ruling marks Smith’s third strike in his cases against the former president.
Smith’s attempts to restrict Trump’s free speech by imposing a gag order have also been met with resistance. It remains to be seen if Whiting’s addition to the team can help turn things around, but it is unlikely to alleviate concerns about the prosecution’s biased nature.

What concerns are raised about the objectivity and fairness of the investigation with the addition of an individual with a known bias against Trump?
Ena Kagan to teach international criminal law, where he has gained a reputation for being outspoken about his opposition to Trump’s policies and actions during his presidency.
It is worth noting that Whiting’s addition to the special counsel’s team seems to reflect a continued focus on Trump and his administration. With the investigation into potential wrongdoing by the former president and his associates expanding, it is clear that the department is not letting up on its pursuit of justice.
However, the addition of an individual with a known bias against Trump raises questions about the objectivity and fairness of the investigation. It is essential for any legal process to be unbiased and impartial, and the involvement of someone who has already expressed strong opposition to the subject of investigation raises concerns about the integrity of the probe.
Furthermore, critics argue that the continued pursuit of Trump by the Department of Justice raises questions about the priorities and motives of the special counsel’s office. Many believe that resources could be better allocated to addressing other pressing issues facing the country, such as the ongoing opioid crisis, rising crime rates, and economic disparities.
Despite these concerns, the Department of Justice stands by its decision to add Whiting to the team. In a statement, they emphasized his relevant experience and expertise in prosecuting complex criminal cases. They argued that his presence would enhance the overall capabilities of the special counsel’s office and contribute to a thorough and comprehensive investigation.
Ultimately, the addition of an individual with a history of opposing Trump to the special counsel’s team raises valid concerns about the fairness and impartiality of the ongoing investigation. However, it is essential to remember that everyone, regardless of their personal views, is entitled to due process and a fair examination of the evidence.
As the investigation into former President Donald Trump continues, it is crucial to maintain trust in the integrity of the Department of Justice and its ability to conduct a thorough and unbiased investigation. Whether or not the involvement of an anti-Trumper on the special counsel’s team will affect the outcome remains to be seen, but it is a point worth considering as the pursuit of justice unfolds.
