The Spin

Democratic narrative

Smith's investigations were necessary to uphold the rule of law and accountability. They produced substantial evidence of wrongdoing that deserves public disclosure before Trump takes office. The failure to bring cases to trial resulted from procedural obstacles, rather than a lack of merit.

MSNBCWashington Post

Republican narrative

The investigations were politically motivated witch hunts that cost taxpayers millions of dollars and ultimately failed to produce any meaningful results. Smith overreached in his prosecutorial approach and mishandled straightforward cases by adding unnecessary complications.
