    Special counsel Jack Smith resigns from DOJ

    His departure was disclosed in a court filing submitted Saturday
    afternoon to U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon.

    Special counsel Jack Smith has completed his work on two criminal investigations of President-elect Donald Trump and resigned Friday
    from the Justice Department.

    Word of Smith's departure came in a footnote to a court filing Justice Department officials submitted to U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon
    Saturday afternoon, urging her not to extend a court order she issued
    last week temporarily blocking the release of the final report Smith
    submitted to department leaders on Tuesday.

    He's 55, so most likely, he will have to find employment with a state
    like NY

    Tidbit - On one occasion he reportedly slept in an apartment building
    hallway for an entire weekend so he could intercept a witness in a
    domestic violence case and convince her to testify.[17]
