Jack Smith Leaves Taxpayers with MASSIVE Bill After Failed Prosecution of President Trump

After two years, millions of taxpayer dollars, and a flurry of accusations, Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into President Donald Trump has officially wrapped up—and it’s leaving Americans with a sour taste in their mouths. Why? Because despite burning through over $50 million in taxpayer funds, Smith has ultimately dismissed the cases against Trump, citing “procedural standards.” In other words: all that drama, all that spending, and absolutely nothing to show for it.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) reports reveal just how eye-watering the costs were. Across three reporting periods, Smith’s office spent an average of $12 million per period. These funds covered everything from direct investigation costs to “indirect” expenses provided by DOJ agencies. And the grand total? A staggering $50 million-plus, with the final expenditures yet to be disclosed. If you’re a taxpayer, you’re footing the bill for this fishing expedition, and the return on investment is zero.

Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Smith back in November 2022 to investigate Trump’s alleged interference in the 2020 election and supposed mishandling of classified documents. The probe included high-profile moments like Trump’s infamous mugshot and surrender to authorities. It was all designed to cast a cloud over the former president as he geared up for his 2024 run. But after nearly two years of relentless scrutiny, Smith has quietly walked away, filing motions to dismiss the cases due to procedural issues.

Let’s call it what it is: a colossal waste of time and money. While Smith and his team were busy running up the tab, Americans in places like North Carolina—still recovering from Hurricane Helene—could have desperately used a fraction of those funds for disaster relief. Instead, the money went toward an investigation that produced a lot of headlines but no meaningful results.

Smith’s defenders argue he was just “doing his job,” but shouldn’t there be accountability for squandering public resources on cases that were doomed from the start? This wasn’t about justice; it was about optics, plain and simple.

The real question is, what happens next? Will the DOJ learn from this embarrassing misstep, or will it keep funneling millions into politically charged investigations with no clear endpoint? One thing’s for sure: Americans deserve better than this. Whether or not Smith faces consequences, the message is clear—stop wasting our money.

Jack smith should have to pay the money back! He only did it for the money, the attention, and election interference. He should be held accountable.

I think each democrat needs to post! million dollars into a fund to pay for their crap since they are the ones behind this.

Smith should be held accountable for probably nothing will happen which is what this sick DOJ administration does. They are simply thugs for Biden & Harris sick administration. Hopefully, Smith & the rest of the thugs at the DOJ will reap many, many consequences of what they have done to this country & people as the people of this country have had to endure these past 4 miserable years.

This is how every democrat and many politicians spend tax money. They do not care what the cost is because they have a wide open account for access of funds, which is taxpayers dollars and a large percentage goes into their own pocket.
