In an MS NOW interview on Deadline: White House, the host says a judge in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case found criminality was being "reverse engineered" all the way up to Todd Blanche. Jack Smith answers that he sees no criminality in those cases and that "the president has it out for these people," with former personal lawyers who will do what he says. He adds that no one on his own team resigned for refusing to go along with a scheme to go after somebody.

I mean a judge basically said that in the Kilmar Arrego Garcia case. Said that he found that this was an instance where basically criminality was being reverse engineered all the way up to Todd Blanche. If a judge has found that, what do you think they're capable of with two more years? Well, as I said earlier, I from my perspective have seen a number of cases. James Comey, Leticia James, Jerome Powell, I mean, right? There's not criminality here. I mean, seashells. I mean, so the only reasonable explanation is the president has it out for these people, and he has people who hit former personal lawyers who are going to do what he says, regardless of the factual law. I mean, you know, again, just the juxtapose it. I didn't have people on my team resigning because they refused to go along with the scheme to go after somebody.
