EXCLUSIVE: Previous Target of DOJ's Trump Legal Hit Squad Details Illegal Wiretaps, ‘Misconduct’

Department of Justice (DOJ) Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team have come under fire for apparently attempting to violate attorney-client privilege for Donald Trump in what one former Trump attorney argued is prosecutorial misconduct. But Smith and his prosecutorial team were previously sanctioned in the case of former Rep. Rick Renzi, who revealed details of the numerous illegal wiretaps of his attorney by the prosecutorial team Smith oversaw in exclusive comments to PJ Media.

Smith et al., were sanctioned three times, Renzi said. “The first is, they illegally wiretapped my attorney 41 times, they lied to the court that they did that, and they did it in order to try and pierce the attorney-client privilege using the crime-fraud exception, the same thing that they’re us[ing] now on President Trump.”

The prosecutors continued to double down, Renzi explained. “They wiretapped my attorney 41 times, they were found guilty [by] the court of lying about it, they were found guilty [by] the court of a Title III wiretap violation, and my wiretap was thrown out,” he detailed. “And when they indicted my attorney, he was found innocent. They went all the way to indicting one of my attorneys… he was completely found innocent.” Renzi’s attorney was vindicated in spite of Jack Smith and his team.
