Smith claimed there was no hacked election systems

Smith's claim about no hacked election systems could boomerang on him during Trump case

Seyyed Mohammad Hosein Musa Kazemi, 24, and Sajjad Kashian, 27, were charged in November of 2021 with obtaining confidential U.S. voter information, sending threatening emails to intimidate voters, and disseminating a video with disinformation about election vulnerabilities.

Special Counsel Jack Smith's Tuesday indictment of former President Donald Trump contends that he knew his claims of election fraud were false (actually he believed them to be true) and pushed them anyway, but at least one instance Smith cites to make that claim could backfire on him in a big way.

The indictment includes several examples of Trump's supporters and and officials telling him that his claims were false as evidence that Trump knowingly pursued false claims. Among those instances cited is a statement from Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) that Trump created claiming that no evidence supported claims of compromised voting systems.

A pair of Iranian hackers successfully hacked into a state computer election system, subsequently stealing voter data, and using that material to intimidate Republican lawmakers...with obtaining confidential U.S. voter information, sending threatening emails to intimidate voters, and disseminating a video with disinformation about election vulnerabilities.

While the original CISA statement may be sound in terms of the evidence it had at the time, the example of the Iranians serves to undercut the premise that no such evidence existed.
