Jack Smith's resignation plans are another confirmation of the president-elect’s abiding ability to escape legal and political accountability.

Maybe don't wait till the final year of the presidency to start the process.

He couldn't fire the guy and put someone less MAGA

He could, but he should have just never appointed him in the first place. He was nominated for the SC because he was inoffensive to Republicans. It's not a grand political maneuver to put him in when your party controls the confirmation process and there are important Republicans that need to be brought to justice.

Biden’s his boss. How would your boss respond to you not doing your job?

That's not a very good argument where I work. You can get away with a hell of a lot of not-doing-shit here. lol
