What name did Jack Smith previously have and who is his wife and family?

His wife, even in Wikipedia is a biased democrat

Why does he live in the Netherlands if he is government employee?

His parents aren't listed in even Wikipedia.
His wife directed "Become" Michelle Obama. CNN reports: 8 grand juries against Trump.
Special counsel is locked in at least 8 secret court battles in Trump investigations

Whose professional bio mentions parents or place of birth unless it is tied to their job in some way? He was a prosecutor both here and internationally. He probably didn’t want people he prosecuted knowing about his parents or where he grew up. That just seems to be taking precautions.

That’s not his professional bio. That’s his Wiki page. And almost every wiki page has relatives listed.

Is this further proof Michelle Obama was born Michael Robertson and Michael had to "Become" Michelle?

It does have his hometown listed as it says “ Smith grew up in Clay, New York, a suburb of Syracuse. In 1987, he graduated from Liverpool High School where he played football and baseball.”
It also has links to stories about him which include his home address growing up. It would be very easy to find his parents from there. You can’t assume this is a big spook job because someone hasn’t posted his parents name on Wikipedia.

True all dat. So what are his alias'? The last time Trump made a cockamamie claim like this it was Youngkin and he is easily found to have deep CCP ties.

I didn’t. I just pointed out it wasnt his professional bio as you had claimed.
I don’t think he is a “spook”. I think he is another highly partisan public official that is being used as a weapon against political opposition.

I gotcha. Someone else called him a spook, and I put that on you as well. I was wrong in doing that. Sorry.

He and his wife live in the Netherlands (moved there in 2018).
There is much speculation he has been IC.
He also was reversed
unanimously by the Supreme Court for conviction against Va Republican Governor. Appears he prosecutes at the Deep States bidding.

Trump knows he's a spook. He's getting people digging.
