4. Nope. He had no control over the documents case evidence once trump was elected.

He DID file a report to the AG on the DC fraud case.

He DID file a report after Cannon dismissed his classified documents case in FL.

Even after he appealed her ruling, the case was dropped as soon as trump won the election because a president cannot be indicted.

With the case fully closed, the boxes of documents and materials that the FBI had seized in August 2022 were returned to Donald Trump by the Justice Department.

Special Counsel Report:
Jack Smith submitted a final, two-volume report on his investigations to the Attorney General.
Volume One, concerning election interference, was publicly released, but
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon ordered that Volume Two, which detailed the findings of the classified documents probe, should not be publicly released or even shown to Congress, citing concerns about potentially prejudicing the rights of the former co-defendants (before their charges were also dropped).

Trump has the Smith team's evidence boxes. So now he'll weaponize that evidence and try to claim it was fraudulently obtained and that Smith as a lawyer is a crook.

The current AG can bring an investigation to a grand jury and it could go for an indictment against Smith, but it would also be dismissed in the DC court on the facts and the law and the "process." We've already read that the federal courts have already found malicious prosecution charges credible, and this would just add to their ongoing knowledge of how bad the Bondi DOJ is at pursuing justice, and how good the Bondi DOJ is at pursuing trump's malicious goals.
