SETH BARRETT TILLMAN ON JACK SMITH’S COLLAPSED TRUMP CASE: “Special Counsel Smith has had a full and fair opportunity to prove—before the trial court and now on appeal—that he was lawfully appointed and lawfully compensated. He failed to establish those specific points in court. As a result, the DOJ may and (in my opinion) should sue for return of illegal salary paid by the U.S. Treasury to Smith and his staff (that is, those not otherwise employed at DOJ). Special Counsel Smith failed to prove that the documents seized by the FBI at Mar-a-Lago belong to the U.S. government or any of its agencies. Trump should move, and if necessary sue, for return of all his files taken by the FBI at Mar-a-Lago.”

Well, I’m a make-the-rubble-bounce kinda guy, so yeah.
