“Smith’s warrant application was stunningly broad, untethered to any probable cause, and out of keeping with the Supreme Court’s Fourth Amendment precedents.”
WASHINGTON, D.C. – This morning, Senator JD Vance (R-OH) sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland regarding Special Counsel Jack Smith’s unconstitutional data collection warrant. The “stunningly broad” warrant “sweeps countless American citizens into scrutiny, simply because they happened to ‘mention’ a comment made by President Trump on a social media platform.”
Senator Vance demands for the Justice Department to immediately repudiate the Special Counsel’s warrant.
Senator Vance’s letter reads, in part:
“I write to condemn and demand accountability for a recently unsealed search warrant obtained by Special Counsel Jack Smith. Smith’s warrant application was stunningly broad, untethered to any probable cause, and out of keeping with the Supreme Court’s Fourth Amendment precedents. The warrant application should never have been filed, let alone granted. This is a black eye for the Department of Justice that will sow public distrust if left uncorrected …
“This administration has already shredded its own credibility by using the machinery of criminal justice to ensnare the current president’s leading political rival. The least it can do now is refrain from compounding its abuses with an overbroad search warrant that sweeps countless American citizens into scrutiny, simply because they happened to “mention” a comment made by President Trump on a social media platform …
“In order to ensure that public trust in our criminal justice system is not further eroded, I demand that the Justice Department immediately repudiate the overbroad search warrant that Special Counsel Jack Smith obtained in January.”
