Former Rep. Rick Renzi (R-AZ) just appeared on the "Mark Levin Show." He was a congressman about 15 years ago and went to prison after being convicted of various crimes (and acquitted of others). One of the men who put him there, he told Levin, was Jack Smith.

Briefly -- as Renzi told it: he was a political threat to then-Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano (now the head of the UC system). Her chief of staff was an assistant U.S. attorney who indicted him twice and tried to get him to agree to a plea deal. Renzi refused and went to trial.

During and after the trial, Renzi said, a prosecutor by the name of David Harbaugh faced sanctions -- which are very rare -- on TWO occasions: once for wiretapping conversations between Renzi and his attorney, and once for paying a witness who changes his testimony.

Moreover, an appellate judge in the case, who ordered Renzi to prison despite the fact that he was still appealing his conviction, was the "mentor" for a clerk named Jack Smith.

Harbaugh worked with Smith, Renzi noted -- and had followed Smith to other assignments as well. Moreover, he said, Harbaugh had once worked with then-FBI Director James Comey to cover up Hillary Clinton's offenses, then "retired" when the heat grew too great.

Back to Renzi: the circumstances of his conviction were such that many people felt Renzi was not given a fair trial. He was later pardoned by President Donald Trump. And that, perhaps, has given Smith an incentive to pursue Trump: he wants revenge for Renzi's case, which he and Harbaugh were involved with.

You could see how Harbaugh might also want revenge on behalf of Comey.

I've also looked up Harbaugh and found he was involved in Jack Smith's most infamous failures -- the prosecutions of Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) and Sen. John Edwards (D-NC).

What is it with these DOJ prosecutors and special counsels, that they seem to recycle the most tainted, biased, and agenda-driven people they can find? Robert Mueller's "collusion" investigation was also stacked with Clinton donors, and even a Clinton attorney.

Renzi made the case that the most powerful lobby in Washington is not Big Pharma, but the National Association of Former United States Attorneys, who are responsible for staffing and recommending many of the prosecutors and officials who handle the justice system.

I believe it, because I've seen the "Lawfare" network that staffs every operation against Trump and conservatives -- and that briefly opposed me, when I argued against impeaching Trump (the first time). It's not a conspiracy theory; it's a caste system. More to come.
