Will Trump special prosecutor backfire on Democrats? Some think so, and here’s why

Special Counsel Jack Smith will have to probe how much FBI knew in advance about Jan. 6, predicts famed former longtime anchor of prime-time hit “The O’Reilly Factor.”

Many in traditional news media have suggested the Biden Justice Department’s appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith to investigate Donald Trump is an ominous sign for the former president. But famed television journalist and best-selling author Bill O’Reilly has a different take, predicting it will boomerang on Democrats.

O’Reilly told the “Just the News, Not Noise” television show that Attorney General Merrick Garland’s appointee will have to probe what the FBI knew in advance of the Jan. 6 riot, whether law enforcement could have done more to prevent the tragedy, and why a reported eight bureau assets were embedded among the protesters who went to the Capitol that day. Those are all issues the Democrat-led House Committee on Jan. 6 failed to address.

Garland’s appointment of another special counsel to investigate Trump is “a drastic mistake,” warned O’Reilly.

“In order for [Jack Smith] to investigate what Trump did or did not do on Jan. 6, he has to get into the FBI and what the FBI did or did not do,” O’Reilly explained in a wide-ranging interview Tuesday night. “He has to. He can’t bury it.”

Noting that the New York Times reported that “there were at least eight FBI agents embedded in the most virulent protesters that day,” the former longtime anchor of Fox News Channel’s prime-time ratings hit “The O’Reilly Factor” said: “They were there. The FBI was there. Well, what the deuce were they doing?”
