Was It Legal to Appoint Jack Smith in the First Place?
9th January 2024
Was special counsel Jack Smith illegally appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland and is his prosecution of former President Donald Trump unlawful?
That is the intriguing issue raised in an amicus brief filed in the Supreme Court by Schaerr Jaffe LLP on behalf of former Attorney General Ed Meese and two law professors, Steven Calabresi and Gary Lawson, in the case of U.S. v. Trump.
I knew Stevfe Calabresi when we were undergrads at Yale. He’s a sharp guy. His uncle, Guido Calabresi, was Dean of the Yale Law School and a Federal Appellate Court Judge.
