Emails Reveal New Names Targeted by Jack Smith During Trump Investigation

Emails Reveal New Names Targeted by Jack Smith During Trump Investigation

Fox News Digital revealed other Republicans former special counsel Jack Smith targeted during his investigation into President Donald Trump.

We already know that Smith tracked and targeted over 400 Republicans, including senators.

The new emails exposed a spiderweb containing members of the House and Senate who had contact with the main people in Smith’s investigation, such as Trump, Mark Meadows, and Rudy Giuliani:

New names within the emails obtained by Fox News Digital include Rep. Brian Babin (R-Texas), Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) and former Rep. Lee Zeldin, who now leads the Environmental Protection Agency.

“I’d like to seek [the Public Integrity Section’s] concurrence to get phone tolls for several MOCs who had contact with pertinent parties in our investigation,” wrote DOJ lawyer Timothy Duree. “I’ll keep the timeframe tight—probably October 1, 2020, to January 31, 2021.”

Duree produced 16 names and said he wanted to discuss whether to “subpoena these all at once.” The list included Reps. Babin and Biggs and now former Reps. Mo Brooks, Matt Gaetz, Paul Gosar, Louie Gohmert, Zeldin and Jody Hice. The list also included Gohmert’s chief of staff Connie Hair, and seven senators whose names were previously revealed through public disclosures, such as Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn.

The emails did not say if Smith subpoenaed communications data for the Babbin, Biggs, and Zeldin.

Another email showed Raymond Hulser, a prosecutor on Smith’s team, told Duree to use the January 6 Committee’s report to find out which members “interacted with Trump and Giuliani” on the day of the riot:

Hulser later said Smith wanted to “narrow” down the list of 16, leading Duree to provide a bolded list of names “we should get in the first round.”

No. 1 on the list, for instance, read “Brian Babin (texts with Meadows; calls with Chip Roy, Perry, Ratcliffe, and Meadows).” Other names noted followed a similar structure. Roy and Perry were known targets and Smith’s probe and previously revealed that they had their records subpoenaed by the special counsel’s team.

It’s ridiculous that Smith’s team relied on the report, since he knew the committee’s star witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, had relied on hearsay.

“If I were a defense attorney and Ms. Hutchinson were a witness, the first thing I would do was seek to preclude some of her testimony because it was hearsay, and I don’t have the full range of her testimony in front of me right now, but I do remember that that was a decent part of it,” Smith admitted to Congress in December.

Smith even described Hutchinson as a “second or even thirdhand witness” since other witnesses provided different accounts of the situation.

“We interviewed, I think, the people she talked to, and we also interviewed, if my recollection is correct, officers who were there, including the officer who was in the car,” Smith said. “And that officer, if my recollection is correct, and I want to make sure I’m right about this, said that President Trump was very angry and wanted to go to the Capitol, but the version of events that he explained was not the same as what Cassidy Hutchinson said she heard from somebody secondhand.”

So ridiculous.
