Gene Rossi Quoted in Newsweek: “Jack Smith's Latest Move Raises Eyebrows: Not 'the Wisest'”
December 20, 2023

Gene Rossi was quoted in Newsweek, in an article titled “Jack Smith's Latest Move Raises Eyebrows: Not 'the Wisest.” The article discusses Smith, who is leading the DOJ's legal cases against former President Trump, and his current attempt to set a February 2 deadline for both the government and Trump's attorneys to submit proposed jury questionnaires.

Rossi said the move risks "poking the bear," warning it may not be the "wisest" move by Smith. "The calendar of a judge is extremely precious to any jurist,” said Rossi. “The filing by Jack Smith seems to suggest that Judge Cannon cover her bets. In other words, have a status conference, but at the same time, send out the questionnaires. I am not sure that was the wisest filing by the Department of Justice."
