Paul Ingrassia—a 30-year-old former right-wing blogger and newly minted lawyer who was admitted to the bar in 2024—is Trump’s pick to lead the Office of Special Counsel. Ingrassia has called Jack Smith a “disgusting man,” accused him of “election interference,” and said he should be jailed.
Enjoy your new found fascist state...
Starting from a neutral position. 😜🤪
We all told Garland this would happen if he didn’t go hard against the coup. Targeting trespassers was never going to cut it.
I want Jack Smith to bury that orange waste of oxygen. Get him up on the stand and let him spill everything he found. Then challenge them to prove it’s false.
New lawyer ya say I can see this investigation running smoothly
something-something “lawfare”
Tom Cotton is pathetic. Arkansas is a complete failure while he has never lived here.
This is ridiculous. Hatch act violations daily from Kkkaroline.
I nearly spit when I read Hatch Act
Another fine white Republican MAGA man. Always the bottom of the septic tank.
Looking forward to seeing Jack Smith totally annihilate the damn fool Paul Ingrassia. Just sickening what this child rapist terrorist in our WH is doing to us.
I look forward to watching them fall flat on their fascist faces in court.
Wow - that is the best and brightest??? Sounds like experience doesn’t matter but I guess that is the orange thingy for you’
The clown car full of corrupt nihilistic morons runneth over.
Could this be an opportunity for Jack to spill allllllllll the beans then?
That little inexperienced twerp thinks he can take on (much less down) Jack Smith? He’s gonna find out real quick that he’s in WAY over his head (as they all do) he’ll come out swinging with empty and baseless talk that will amount to nothing more - just a waste of our $$. Same nonsense new target
No one should ever suffer from Imposter Syndrome again.
Silly me, the Hatch Act does not apply to the one with immunity, but he violates it every day.
Smith should have a three-word response to every question and every legal filing: "Go fuck yourself."
The GOP hasn't an ounce of patriotism, integrity, or guts.
Regular reminder about Senator Tom Cotton : www.bbc.com/news/world-u...
#Epstein Epstein. What about Epstein. The List. Epstein. On Bondi’s Desk. Epstein. E P S T E I N!
So it’s the Arkansas senator’s turn to bend the knee? Must be why Trump is pickin’ Cotton as his toady for the week.
FFS.
To land a job under the 𝑭𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒏-𝒊𝒏-𝑪𝒉𝒊𝒆𝒇, just pledge loyalty and parrot MAGA slogans. Bonus points if your lies are bold and shameless.
They’re running out of true believers
This office is supposed to protect whistleblowers like the people who recently blew the whistle on Emil Bove, yes?
Dumb Donny kicks the hornet's nest
He's been a lawyer for months, huh? Hope he has to face Mr. Smith in court, that will be amusing.
I hope Canada and a few other countries are re-thinking how to handle USian refugee claimants that show up at the border. Looks like Jack here could be a candidate.
At least he has - one whole year of experience. Deplorable
lol, he really is running out of people.
A punchable face.
This is nothing more than another distraction from the Epstein files. It won’t work.
Wish someone knew how to help MAGA cult victims understand that a twerp who calls half of America communists is a nutter and a fool and shouldn't be believed about anything.
Do you perchance mean the same Hatch Act that trump and his minions break every damn day?
Admitted to the bar in 2024, and maybe disbarred in 2025? He doesn't seem to have learned much about being a professional. If I mouthed off like that against another engineer, I'd be in front of my profession's disciplinary committee in a nanosecond.
Well, I guess the only comfort is that every aspect of this "investigation" of Jack Smith will be incompetently done. It takes smarts and ability to credibly frame someone.
It takes lots of lies, some greedy and many uneducated and/or scared people. ✔️ ✔️ ✔️
In every post please include a reference to the Epstein Files
Jack Smith is gonna stuff this little asshole in a locker.
So much insanity.
JFC. We’re the shithole country, populated by people who should be locked up in an insane asylum.
We’re all so numb to it now, but the Press covers this stuff in a way that deliberately whitewashes it and obfuscates about 90% of the awfulness
Cool, so Ingrassia can be referred to the Bar...
Not a great look.
Good news for jack smith. I’m guessing he’ll have much more high powered representation
I blame the populist left every time someone like this falls back into MAGA's crosshairs. And I always will until my dying day. It did not have to be this way.
Oh yeah, we all forgot about having that investigation shut down. How long before we forget Epstein fiasco getting shut down
Oh please. What a joke. The FIRST administration of TFG did a lot of damage to Hatch. This time around, they have completely destroyed it.
the Hatch Act. how quaint.
The Hatch Act? The one no one in Team Trump complies with? That Hatch Act?
I don’t think people understand how insane it is that someone with ZERO legal experience would be appointed to such a distinguished role. No longer distinguished after this…
Oh man. That’s just too much irony for me to take.
#trumpishitler2.0 #trumpsthetraitor #trumpisapedo
Hey New York Bar - Association - he practiced law in your state without having passed the bar - you know what to do. #ingrassiaisaimmigrant #anotherfaketrumawyer #igrassiaisafraud
you are hoping too much that institutions stand up
And another spin of the #EpsteinDeflectionWheel won’t distract us from the #Epstein #Trumpstein #PamBondi #MAGA #PedophilePresident #GOP #Republican cover up of a child trafficking rape ring ran my #MadamGhislane #Maxwell because that’s #WWJD 🤔
Like I said, we’ve been taken over by far right online trolls and bloggers.
The hatch act? Really? Are they sure they want to bring attention to the hatch act and the many ways it can be violated? Even by one guy and his special appointees aka family members??
Scraping the barrel on this - and so many other appointments.
It's a net positive. They won't be able to get out of their own way
Ship of fools.
I always want to give these MAGA people the dictionary definition of "Communist"
Oh good this dictatorship is starting show trials Jack smith will mop the floor with these a-holes.
Wrong. Jack is Cooked
Given that the worst that can happen if you break the Hatch Act of losing your federal job... and he's no longer a federal employee... What can they possibly do?
Jesus Christ are you delusional
Funny how Trump isn't investigating Merrick Garland. Almost as if Garland did exactly what Trump wanted. 🤔
Another distraction. What about Epstein files?
When will the madness end?
Everything is so, so stupid
How is he not disbarred??
Oh you just know they’re gonna find a bunch of classified documents in his bathroom.
Just imagine how much worse it would be if they were looking for competence and experience
Yeah, let's see what a fuck up this guy will become. Jack Smith had mountains of evidence with an ironclad indictment. It was SCOTUS that threw a huge monkey wrench into the process. They're responsible for America today!
Another potholder….
Such BS
The phrase "wet behind the ears" comes to mind.
Paul Ingrassia is an inexperienced neophyte lawyer, who may want to tread carefully. Jack Smith will eat him alive.
Tom Cotton is another one that desperately needs to meet justice.
Why, what did he know about Epstein? And when did he know it?
This can be said of the majority of the Republicans in Congress.
Didn’t Aileen cannon rule special Counsels are illegal?
We are a that dystopian banana republic
Gaming the legal system is what Trump has done all of his adult life. This is just one more example of that.
Wow, Smith must be shaking in his boots! 🤣🤣🤣
So experienced.
Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein
This really confused me, until I looked into it and found that the automotive industry writer Paul Ingrassia is a) a different guy and b) dead.
I see disbarment in his future.
This is like Trump investigating Einstein’s theories.
Jack Smith, American hero.
Q: When does the harassment and destruction stop? A:When the republicans start fighting for America. Or The Dems win the House and senate.
I don't see how giving Smith a public platform does anything but blow up in their face. "Why did you charge Trump?" "We charged him for a lot less than we could have actually. He and his co-conspirators [names co-conspirators] did A, B, C...well too many things to count, really"
Jack Smith will wipe his ass with this twerp.
Paging Kellyanne Conway.
This is fine.
🤬
All good reasons that the special council should recuse himself. Having expressed contempt for the person you're investigating before the investigation even begins is unethical. If he doesn't recuse, he should be presented to his bar association for disbarment procedures.
Start the Scaramucci counter
We wish. He won’t resign and he won’t be fired. The only criteria for a Trump appointment are loyalty to Trump and a willingness to commit crimes.
Judges will have to slap him down
Exactly what’s gonna happen… Who knows maybe the kids some sort of legal genius or something, but I suspect he will pretty much be pushed aside as soon as his competency level is exposed
Durham couldn’t even get a conviction. This kid is just being used by Trump. He’ll be forced to bring all sorts of terrible charges that won’t be backed up by evidence. They just want the headlines
I don’t think they’re gonna have to twist his arm, so ‘forced’ isn’t the word I would use here.
I concur with both of you
LOL lawyers hardly ever get disbarred
Hmmm… like Bondi should be disbarred? So far ?not working.Remember they don’t answer to Lower Judges. Hell they don’t even answer to the Supreme Court.!
When you order your staff to break the law and to go against the constitution, you have made an ethical statement that should trigger an automatic disbarrment procedure for any lawyer.
Ahhh while entirely correct,she doesn’t consider herself just a lawyer.She has no ethics or integrity,another who has never been held accountable.They make a dangerous couple,just as planned she’s replaced Roy Cohen.
Should is the key word. But guess what will happen?
Wait until he submits his first ChatGPT-written motion …
Exactly. He's made a determination before ever delving into the facts. Bias from before it even began. Jack Smith is a genius prosecutor and hired an amazing team, dotting every I and crossing every t. He's going to end up fucking with them, making Trump again lose it and make a conspiracy out of it
So any unqualified fucking raciest shit head is pushed to the front of the line, all people. Who would do any vile thing he asks welcome to Nazi Germany
Bottom of the bottom of the barrel.
Let’s have televised hearings so you can show the world again what idiots the republicans are.
Time for Brazil to start sanctions against Ingrassia. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
He will be signing the paperwork, but he's not gonna show up in court. Any serious judge will make that tadpole cry after half an hour.
Do you think that this represents them picking someone for ideology or failure to find someone with experience? I don't expect that someone of so little experience is going to generally win in court against the much better lawyers they are about to harass.
With a stupid potentate like Trumpito, it’s about ideology, because he’s using this as a tool to discredit opposition, not protecting himself from prosecution. Although, he’s running out of bulldog lawyers that will work for him in any capacity.
@noturtlesoup17.bsky.social was been sending emergency flares about this chud
🫡
The new Special Council said the man he's investigating should be jailed? And being "political" as a Special Prosecutor is prosecutable you say? We'll remember that, Paul.
Jack Smith will chew this boy up and spit him out.
Rookie lawyer vs. attorney/prosecutor from The Hague Got it. This will take about 1-2 days to be done.
Wait, a Republican Senator accused Jack Smith of violating the Hatch Act?
Epstein & Shame on Speaker & minions for their crimes against U.S. Constitution & Bill of Rights. Shame on this POTUS and his GOP minions in the Senate and House who did not hold POTUS & accomplices accountable for crimes before & during January 6, 2021. youtu.be/DXnHIJkZZAs #ProtectTheConstitution🇺🇸
Evil, but also this is the consequence of dropping the case as a gesture of respect for "the office," ie, a PEDOPHILE CRIMINAL WHO THEY ALREADY KNEW WOULD STOP AT NOTHING TO AVOID PRISON. The case should have continued, and courts should have put that motherfucker away forever.
That is what would have happened in other countries that actually put their criminal leaders in prison. We don’t. Gerald Ford established that Republican presidents can break the law with no penalty. Our country is still paying for this, & will ALWAYS be paying for this until it stops.
“Merit” hire? 😒
But talking to Netanyahu about not having a ceasefire prior to the election wasn’t? Gotcha 🙄
We live in the stupidest of times.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha the Hatch Act. There’s not enough ha ha’s in the world for how ridiculous. This little boy seems to be no match for Jack Smith.
I’m sorry, did you say 2024?
Only the best and brightest 🤦🏻♀️
Ingrassia was admitted to the New York bar as an attorney on July 30, 2024.That's right ... 4 days ago.
Damn I wish I was still living in 2024
*and one year
Thanks! I wish I could read. Ugh.
Everyone has done the same!
He graduated from Cornell law school in 2022
It took him two years to pass the bar?
One year ago.
If only it was 2024 again!!!
Point is still very valid; you’re very much a brand-new lawyer even after one year* of “lawyering”. *and 4 days ;-)
Oh wow - a newly minted jackass just feeling his oats
Oops! 1 *year* and 4 days. 🤪
Ooops sorry folks. Got that year wrong. Ugh.
The Hatch Act violations are coming from within the house. Good thing the worst the OSC can actually do is recommend Smith's firing.
and he is a nazi who was seen going to a nick fuentes rally. www.npr.org/2025/05/14/n...
So now the Hatch Act has relevance? Mmhmm
Wow…
Bring it ingrASSia , you are no match for Jack Smith!
Fucking baby lawyer, the only reason he'll succeed is because the law is whatever the MAGA pedos say it is, must be nice runningyour legal career on tourist mode
Unbelievable 'trying to make a name for himself' hope he gets squashed
These folk are cartoonishly incompetent, but theatre is the point. And quietly, America is sold off for parts to billionaires.
Epstein Epstein Epstein
Paulie is not going to intimidate Jack Smith, his new law degree says he is out of his league investigating Smith.
Special dispensation should be granted by the judge to allow Jack Smith at least 45 minutes out of every court hearing hour to simply laugh and laugh and roll on the floor laughing some more while Mr. Unpleasant, Esq., The Greenhorn, tries to make his case.
No doubt the most qualified person Trump could find to do the job—the job being to indict an honorable lawyer for doing his job.
Talk about walking into the fire to try to, what? Make a name for himself? He’s going to take on Jack Smith? Does Ingrassia have a clue?
Well, if he had a clue he wouldn’t have hurled any of the irresponsible charges that he has already made.
He’s got absolutely zero experience & zero qualifications. He worked for & loves Andrew Tate. He called for Jan. 6 to be declared a national holiday to honor the “peaceful protest against a great injustice affecting our electoral system.”
The Onion just can’t outdo this one. 😂
That's hilarious!!! Present admin. totally ignores Hatch Act.
I have a feeling this guy is going to be in way over his head. He'll be lucky to keep that law license for very long.
The Hatch Act, really? As if the Trump Administration ever gave a rat’s ass about the Hatch Act…
Oh yes let's hire baby lawyers for this kind of position what could go wrong. Has he even passed the bar yet?
Furthermore, it makes sense he could only get a baby lawyer for this sort of position since they do not fucking know better.
I am no lawyer, but wouldn't those tweets be considered a conflict of interest if anything was to be brought before a judge? Also Jack Smith tried war criminals. He will run circles around a blogger turned ambulance chaser.
If Trump carries this through, he has no intention of Smith receiving a fair trial.
Just more performative BS to distract from EPSTEIN & Maxwell. Violations of the Hatch Act are civil, not criminal and likely has no teeth when it comes to former employees anyway. Jack Smith will wipe the floor with the DOJ. It clearly has no good lawyers left if it’s hiring this dude.
JFC 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️Get me out of this nightmare.
Here's what you're getting wrong. These are his actual qualifications: he has called Jack Smith a “disgusting man,” accused him of “election interference,” and said he should be jailed.
Dox Paul Ingrassia and make him suffer.
The Hatch Act violations of the Trump administration are legendary and that's what they're using to "investigate" (read harass) Jack Smith?!?
He's not going to jail. Neither is Obama nor is Hillary , neither is Trump , neither is Netanyahu. Do I need to go on? And and jack smith he's not going to be jailed either.
The Trump regime violates the Hatch Act multiple times a day.
Right? The accusation is rich coming from this regine.
Does he have to be confirmed by the Senate?
punks on pikes, I say.....
Exactly how can anyone in Trumpworld seriously be talking about the Hatch Act? Anyone in this administration violates it every day they "work."
It is sickening and damaging to the profession to keep having Trump's unqualified lawyer picks for serious jobs. This is another " F- you" to the Rule of Law.
Not sure if they're scraping bottom of barrel or scraping something off their shoe here.... Maybe both?
Isn't insulting other members of the bar like this a disbarrable offence? "Attorneys face disbarment, the most severe sanction for professional misconduct, primarily due to actions that betray client trust, undermine the justice system, and erode public confidence in the legal profession."
Yes, he's violating the NY code of conduct: "Lawyers can disagree without being disagreeable. Effective representation does not require antagonistic or acrimonious behavior. lawyers should avoid vulgar language, disparaging personal remarks or acrimony toward other counsel, parties or witnesses."
Professional Code of Conduct: nysba.org/wp-content/u...
At least they are calling him “special” and not “independent” counsel ☹️
Christ, I think this is like the fifth or sixth shiny object they’ve thrown out just this week.
So if Jack was a political hack! Why did he not dump the files himself! Why didn’t we get the truth of what he found!
Every day is crazier than the day before.
DEI hire
Trump is the queen of indecency—the GOP, a beggar den of white trash clawing for power, fated for historical purgatory.
USA is a full blown banana republic now. What a joke.
Nice try... so what about the epstein evidence?
How much is he getting "paid?"
The craziest thing about the investigation of Jack Smith is that Trump is in the Epstein files.
The MAGA party has shit all over the Hatch Act since 2016. This is fucking ridiculous.
Violated the hatch act! That’s fresh coming from trumpsters.
wait, aren't special counsels illegal or something?
This is not a serious Administration
That's a very polite way to put it.
the Hatch act? seriously?
This is going to blow up their faces so bad. Somehow this is going to be the thing that does them all in. It’s like Icarus flying too close to the sun but with corruption and stupid legal moves.
Wild. Ingrassia is just a dumpster fire at every level. Some of this is Jack's own fault for not seeing where things were headed and ending that fiasco.
Trump picks are completely incompetent. Luckily, he will fail miserably.
dude looks like such a lil twerp, will totally get mashed in public without muscle
Adding to the hypocrisy, let's not forget all the Hatch Act violations that occured in Trump's 1st term: www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...
Sooo office of special council and cyber security is going to people who barely have gotten out of the bathtub as an adult! WTAF?! I would say some of those know better? don’t wanna be around him right now. He is toxic so he’s gonna take the babies .! People that he can mold & scream at.
And already showing she is unfit to practice law. Time to get her disbarred.
Once trump has filled the bench with more people like Emile Bove, false charges like this won’t be so easy to laugh off.
Well you can always appeal all the way to the SC and… oh…
Oops.
We still have juries. Even the most corrupt judge can't overrule an acquittal
Where does he live?
Oh Paul will do just fine. Jusssst fine
Kid’s balls have barely dropped. Kakistocracy, indeed.
We don't even trust lawyers that new to manage a felony drug possession case without a more experienced person 2nd chairing it with them. He should be doing uncontested divorces and probation violations still. With routine misdemeanors thrown in if we feel he is working out well.
Jack Smith will eat him for lunch and still have room for a burger and fries.
How abut we visualize that Karma comes 4 felon trump.He shud suffer like he has done to others.
I haven't seen a Hatch violation taken seriously since Bush Jr but now we're going to attack the least corrupt person they can find for one. ffs
Next dem president should launch an investigation into the business dealings of Eric, Don Jr Tiffany and Ivan’s you cunts can’t just buy multi million dollar homes with nothing that’s fraud the whole Trump family are frauds bankrupt the whole lot of the creeps
Intelligence and skill wins every time.
Irony of ironies. The Hatch Act of all things. Proof that MAGA doesn’t care about rule of law. Laws are only good for hanging (figuratively) the opposition.
Paul Ingrassia's "special powers" in Trump's eyes are that he is a misogynist and a racist, which will come as absolutely no surprise to anyone here.
Oh well care about the Hatch Act now?
Seems as sensible as anyone else this admin has hired. The best people, ya know?
Reading the mentally crippled Ingrassia's hissy fits about so many of America's finest, it sounds like extreme penis and vagina envy on Ecstacy.
This Jack Smith maga witch-hunt is disturbing to me. It’s like one big horrible night mare
He's a rw blogger with a vending machine JD
Sooo, Ingrassia just became a lawyer in 2024, and he's going after one of the smartest attorneys in the world? Laughable. Trump has lost his mind trusting this newbe. Smith holds all the cards. I'm sure he was waiting for this.
Ok, um, when do we start to express our displeasure?
I think he meets their recruiting requirements for new or early career lawyers. x.com/US_OSC/statu...
