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.

    So I don’t want to bother finding a place to put this where anyone who would do this would see it. I’ll just rant here.

    Hey jackass. Let’s consider the events of christmas day. Smith family sits safely at home. There is no mention of Jack even being informed.

    Meanwhile, a mother is having an over-text conversation with her cop husband about how they are missing each other on Christmas Day. Then the cop texts “got to run. another guy with a gun.”

    Now the cop’s wife is at home holding her children with the routine and traumatic thought of “will my children see their dad again?”.

    Summing up. Smith family fine. Cop family scared. You know a certain percentage of cops’ wives are very sympathetic individuals.
