Former Trump lawyer John Dowd, writing for MS NOW:

“Jack Smith was once my adversary in a high-profile investigation of a Republican client. In that investigation, Smith proved himself to be fair, impartial and fearlessly committed to the facts and the law. He was unmotivated by partisan politics. But recent attacks on Smith are motivated by partisan politics, and they are untethered to the facts or the law.”

Revelations like this are always because of an accompanying book deal.
