Police were dispatched toward Smith’s residence but were called off when they learned it was a false alarm and that everyone inside the home was safe.

Special counsel Jack Smith, who is overseeing the prosecution of former President Donald Trump in two federal cases, was the target of an attempted swatting at his Maryland residence on Christmas Day.

According to two law enforcement sources, someone called 911 and said that Smith had shot his wife at the address where Smith lives.

Montgomery County Police dispatched units toward the home but were called off when the Deputy U.S. Marshals protecting Smith and his family told police that it was a false alarm and that everyone inside the home was safe.

No arrests have been made in connection with the incident.

      You folks have no theory of mind. All I’m saying is that the bootlicker with the great idea of trying ruin the Smiths’ Christmas ended up being at best friendly fire in a completely foreseeable way. The swatter is just having cops fight cops.

      But stellar point about choosing your own family. Go home to your mom; tell her you’re brilliant.

          1. I brought up your mother because they were a person in your life you did not choose. Pick a different mother. You can’t? That’s my point. I hope you had a great one. If you love you mom, I am sorry you lost her. But you had a lot of victim blaming in your small comment.

          2. I don’t know the relevance. You know I made up that cop story? Also, there is a strange assumption people make the the main character of a story is supposed to be a good guy. He not. I don’t care about him. My point was the swatter is dumbass whose plan had no hope of even bothering their target but could cause issues for their blue team.

          Have you talked to many domestic violence survivors? Leaving is not simple. The kids are sympathetic too. I won’t let my hate of MAGA blur that. Targeting families is crime even in war. I won’t do it.

          1. Good. It is hard, but good. I wish it weren’t this way. I sorry you had some family members wrapped up in that. This is off-topic, but have you had any luck convincing any of them? I like to hear rhetoric that has worked.
