In addition to waging lawfare against federal judge James Boasberg for the sin of ruling against President Trump, WorldNetDaily is also targeting prosecutor Jack Smith, who investigated Trump’s alleged election interference. For example, Bob Unruh declared in a January 2025 article: “A ‘deranged Jack Smith,’ who was ruled to have been incompetently appointed ‘special counsel’ by Merrick Garland because the Senate never confirmed him, in a final report on President-elect Donald Trump’s alleged ‘election interference’ has expanded his prosecutorial duties to take on the responsibilities of a judge and jury.” WND’s rage against Smith continued. For example:
- ‘Disrupt the presidential transition’: Judge greenlights release of part of Jack Smith’s ‘political hit job’ on Trump
- Judge orders DOJ to turn over Jack Smith’s communications, which are thought to show collusion
- ‘Get a taste of his own medicine’: U.S. senator pushes special counsel probe of special counsel Jack Smith
- Confirmed! Jack Smith was using weaponized government to spy on Republican senators
- ‘We are cleaning up a diseased temple’: FBI fires agents over Jack Smith’s scheme to spy on Republican senators
- ‘Growing chorus’: Senators call for Democrat operative Jack Smith to be disbarred
- ‘Manipulated key evidence’: Jim Jordan demands Jack Smith explain extent of ‘weaponized’ DOJ under Biden
- ‘Shouldn’t be a dog catcher’: Spied-on lawmakers demand prosecutor Jack Smith be disbarred
- ‘Absurd and indefensible’: Jack Smith’s aide referred to DOJ for prosecution for obstructing Congress
- ‘Available to testify’: Now Jack Smith gets handed subpoena to tell what HE knows
Unruh further complained in a Dec. 31 article:
Jack Smith, the leftist prosecutor appointed by Democrats under the Joe Biden administration to run some of their lawfare cases against President Donald Trump, claimed Trump was guilty, despite professional guidelines that bar such statements.
The development is from the transcript released by Congress of members’ interrogation of Smith, whose cases against Trump ended because Smith was improperly appointed, and because Trump took the office of president for his second term.
The discussion came early in the congressional interrogation, when Smith made statements including his claim that Trump “exploited” the violence of the Jan. 6, 2021, protest-turned-riot at the Capitol, as “President Trump and his associates tried to call members of Congress in furtherance of their criminal scheme.”
Unruh didn’t explain why Smith shouldn’t make conclusions based on the evidence. Instead, he played the distraction game:
The facts now show that the 2020 election was, in fact, affected by at least two outside and undue influences, the $400 million plus that Mark Zuckerberg spent in ways that impacted the election, as well as the FBI’s decision to interfere by claiming, when agents knew the claim to be false, that the scandalous material found in a laptop abandoned by Hunter Biden was Russian disinformation.
We’ve documented how WND has falsely insisted Zuckerberg influenced the 2020 election.
Unruh attacked Smith again in a Jan. 22 article:
Jack Smith is the partisan special counsel who was assigned by Democrats to carry a large part of their lawfare against President Donald Trump.
He created two cases and filed charges, only to see them evaporate when Trump was elected to his second term.
He’s already testified to Congress about his political agenda against Trump once, and was appearing against on Thursday.
Even as that was happening, the House Judiciary Committee released a list of 12 facts about Smith, his political agenda, and his actions that are pertinent to his comments:
Unruh didn’t explain how any of these “facts” were proven or were anything other than partisan rants.
Unruh continued the attack in another article that day:
The Committee on the Judiciary in the U.S. House of Representatives repeatedly skewered Jack Smith, who was the special counsel assigned by Democrats to carry a large part of their lawfare agenda against President Donald Trump.
He repeatedly, and did again on Thursday, has claimed that Trump is guilty in the documents and elections cases – without benefit of any jury decision, an apparent violation of standard practices for federal prosecutors.
Smith repeatedly has promoted his personal agenda that Trump is guilty, but both of his cases vanished when Trump was re-elected to a second term in the Oval Office.
The rest of Unruh’s article is made up of right-wing social media claim about Smith’s testimony — one of which was a tweet from the White House calling Smith a “deranged animal.” Not exactly fair and balanced.
