Jonathan Last: “Jack Smith’s report must be made public. It is both a matter of tradition (all previous special counsel reports have been made public) and a matter of morality. “The country must have a permanent record of Trump’s criminal conduct,” he said.
“But also in political matters. Remember: 2025 is the year of greatest risk. Every day the administration is forced to fight on topics it fears is a day lost in the pursuit of its authoritarian agenda. Although it is unknown from the current position, the Democratic Party is actually the opposition party. “They have a duty to oppose Trump on all fronts and inflict political pain wherever possible.”
“It’s not clear that the Democratic Party as an organism understands this reality. So the final reason to make Smith’s report public by any means necessary is to force Democrats to accept new rules for American government.”
