Next on Trump's revenge tour? The man who investigated him for Jan. 6th

Legal & Political Investigations - The US Office of Special Counsel is investigating former special counsel Jack Smith for alleged Hatch Act violations, which prohibits certain political activities by government officials [1] - Trump and his allies have argued that Smith's investigations constituted illegal political activity, but have not presented specific evidence [2] - A 2021 report concluded that around a dozen people, including Mark Meadows, had Hatch Act violations [14] - One way there could be a violation is if Jack Smith timed his legal and procedural activities to interfere with an election [15] Political Strategy & Public Perception - Some analysts believe the investigation is a distraction from pressing issues like the economy, child care, and international affairs [6][7] - Concerns exist that such actions undermine the rule of law and could be perceived as a "kangaroo court" [5][8] - Analysts suggest that constant distractions and perceived injustices could lead to voter apathy, especially among younger voters [11][12] - The Hatch Act investigation is viewed by some as a "troll" and not a serious matter, while others worry about the long-term implications for the country's reputation [15][16]
