CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig said Tuesday that former special counsel Jack Smith displayed strong emotions in his final report on prosecuting President-elect Donald Trump.
Smith wrote that he stands “fully behind” prosecuting President-elect Donald Trump in relation to his alleged attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election results, and claimed the president-elect would have been convicted if he had not won the 2024 election. Honig said that the introductory letter of the report is unusually filled with an “intense” defense of Smith’s team.
“The part that’s unusual, though, is that four page introductory letter … it is an intense, almost emotional defense of Jack Smith’s team,” Honig said. “Now it’s normal to see [a] special counsel say in a couple sentences, ‘my team was very hard working and had high integrity, it was not political.’ But he goes on a rant, he quotes John Adams, he quotes former attorneys general, and he says the criticism of him as laughable. And I suppose someone could look at that as an important and necessary example of Jack Smith standing up for his team. On the other hand, though, it’s hard to read that and think that everything that follows is completely separate from emotion and is completely workman-like and has nothing to do with his personal feelings.”
In his report, Smith stated that his team’s investigation of Trump was “consistent with [the Department of Justice’s] traditions and integrity.” He quoted former President John Adams and former Attorney General Edward H. Levi to argue that Trump is not “above the law” and thus the case against him was justified. (RELATED: Elie Honig Explains Why Trump ‘Actually Gets A Benefit’ By Being Sentenced)
“Our work rested upon the fundamental value of our democracy that we exist as ‘a government of laws, and not of men.’ John Adams, Novanglus, No. VII at 84 (Mar. 6, 1775),” Smith wrote. “In making decisions as Special Counsel, I considered as a first principle whether our actions would contribute to upholding the rule of law, and acted accordingly …That is also why, in my decision-making, I heeded the imperative that “[n]o man in this country is so high that he is above the law,” United States v. Lee, I06 U.S. 196,220 (1882).” […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
