Jack Smith’s once celebrated legal crusade did not end with triumph. For decades, Carmen Mercedes Lineberger cultivated the image of the consummate federal prosecutor.

At long last, the day of accountability may be coming. There are chapters in American history that demand to be written not in ink, but in fire. The Obama administration, cloaked in the sanctimony of intellectualism and the false patina of moral superiority, unleashed a corrosive strain of political malice that did not dissipate with the passage of time. It metastasized. It deepened through the first Trump administration, calcified under the Biden presidency, and even now its vestiges linger like a stubborn contagion within the body politic. This was not governance. This was something far more insidious; a slow moving institutional rot. And now, at long last, the day of accountability may be coming.
