It’s official, Jack Smith has officially resigned from the DOJ. We’re nine days away from President Trump being sworn in and the rats are fleeing the ships!

What a coward. Fleeing and resigning in disgrace. I love this from Publius: “preserve your records Jack”: BREAKING: Jack Smith, the Special Counsel investigating Donald Trump, has resigned from the Department of Justice. – POLITICO PRESERVE YOUR RECORDS, “JACK”! pic.twitter.com/pMcNlXkriG — Publius (@OcrazioCornPop) January 11, 2025 Politico had more details: Special counsel Jack Smith has completed his work on two criminal investigations of President-elect Donald Trump and resigned Friday from the Justice Department. Word of Smith’s departure came in a court filing Justice Department officials submitted to U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon Saturday afternoon, urging her not to extend a court order she issued last week blocking release of Smith’s final report, which was submitted to department leaders on Tuesday. Justice Department officials say Cannon’s order overstepped her authority and that she has no power to block Attorney General Merrick Garland from releasing Smith’s findings. Ultimately though, the story isn’t over. I agree with George who writes that none of this is over until the tables are turned and the lawfare perpetrators themselves end up in prison: The lawfare isn’t officially over until the perpetrators go to jail. Jack Smith, Letitia James, Fani Willis, Alvin Bragg, etc, must be locked up. — George (@BehizyTweets) January 11, 2025 Justice is coming. Tick tock.

Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis might not have emerged victorious from the latest GOP presidential primary, but he remains a widely popular figure in his home state and beyond. As such, there have been rumors circulating that he might appoint himself to serve out the remainder of Sen. Marco Rubio’s term. President Donald Trump has nominated the Republican senator to lead the U.S. Department of State. During a recent press conference, however, the governor poured cold water on such prognostication, as The Hill reported: “Absolutely not,” DeSantis told reporters Friday when asked about the scenario. “It’s funny, you know, these people write these things,” the governor said. “And anytime they’re talking about anything I’m doing, they’re just making it up, right?” “I mean, they’ll talk to someone because [they’ll] say, ‘Oh, someone familiar with the governor’s thinking.’ Understand, that means they don’t know what the hell they’re talking about. That means somebody is saying, ‘Well, I know how the governor thinks. He’s probably saying this.’ So they try to do grist for the mill,” he said. .@GovRonDeSantis says he will NOT appoint himself to the Senate: “Would I consider? Absolutely not… I was never in consideration for that, trust me.” He says Rubio’s seat will not be vacant until at least Jan. 20, and he doesn’t want a gap. pic.twitter.com/rIKwrTWGvz — Jennifer Cabrera (@jhaskinscabrera) January 10, 2025 The topic of Rubio’s replacement has sparked a number of social media posts in the weeks since Trump announced the nomination: Report: Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody is the current frontrunner to be picked by DeSantis to replace Marco Rubio in the Senate.

Cory Mills, a central Florida Republican just elected to a second term in Congress, said he will run for the U.S. Senate seat now held by Sen. Marco Rubio regardless of who Gov. Ron DeSantis picks for the post. “You can probably guarantee my hat is going to be thrown in the ring for 2026,” Mills told reporters at the Florida Republican annual meeting being held in Orlando. Rubio, who was elected to a third term two years ago, is stepping down because President-elect Donald Trump tapped him to become secretary of State. DeSantis will get to name someone to hold the position until 2026 when it will be on the ballot again. The 2026 winner will serve for two years before it goes before voters again. DeSantis said this past week that he has not decided who he will pick for the spot although on Friday he strongly ruled out any consideration of appointing himself to the job. One of the leading contenders for the appointment is Attorney General Ashley Moody, a strong ally of DeSantis. Here’s what DeSantis had to say about the selection process during a recent Fox News Channel appearance: BREAKING: Gov. Ron DeSantis issues new statement on his appointment to the U.S. Senate to replace Marco Rubio “I haven’t [decided yet], but it will come soon.
