Didn't know much about Schmitt but sure do now. Something he thought was sooo big and they didn't even bother to check. Carelessness has been THE biggest issue overall in this regime. Starting with the carelessness of musk and Trump. Many peoples deaths can be directly traced to those actions. Careless with facts, history, truth. I loved this display. Then he has continued to lie about this. Making himself look stupid. But lying is what they have been taught to do. What a waste of time. Jack Smith is a hero.
Careless? Perhaps, but clearly a lot of intent was involved. Incompetence certainly. Willingness to lie, and push accusations even after knowing the truth. Negligence?
Trump and Musk went in with full intent on destruction, seeing how far they could go before having to undo parts where they realized they had gone too far, where they would have gotten slapped down. The deaths were the point, the intent was the destruction of lives in various ways. Seizing power and pushing the limits, grabbing even more power. Finding the limits and then working on how to go past those limits. Carelessnes was just their excuse.
If the facts are against you, pound the law. If the law is against you, pound the facts. If both are against you, pound the table. If you’re Eric Schmitt, pound sand.
Schmitt was AG for Missouri and now a Senator. Isn't that still supposed to be the "show me state"?
Jack Smith is a true patriot and a credit to the rule of law. We really ought to be able to see his second volume so we can decide for ourselves if Trump was victimized or not. I'm betting on Smith but willing to be shown wrong. Sadly Aileen Cannon is still holding up its release.
Found when Jack Smith stated during that congressional testimony yesterday that his strongest witnesses in the 2020 election subversion case would have been Republicans. That he specifically highlighted these individuals like former VP Mike Pence and former Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers. Also the late Senator Linsey Graham.
That Smith explicitly told the committee that Lindsey Graham "was not a target of our investigation and was not suspected of wrongdoing". Also, Smith stated that Graham "likely would have been a witness in our case" because he had looked into Donald Trump's election claims and "found them to be false,” and that the late Senator Lindsey Graham was "a patriotic public servant.”
It’s really rich that Sen. Darline Graham is crying “Shame!” at Jack Smith. Maybe she just ought to look in the mirror instead..
This whole hearing was a total sham. From my Iowa Senator’s(Grassley) opening accusations to all of the Republicans fake outrage and manufactured “evidence “. Trump has his fingerprints all over this and each of these Senators are willing to debase themselves, not once thinking about how they can help their constituents who elected them.
I guess the good news is that more Americans now can see the Republican moronitude for what they are. Those still in the RepubliCult will certainly see all of this performance as somehow "owning the libs" or "proving Trump was right about everything," but everyone NOT in the shallowest end of the American gene pool will (hopefully) more clearly see this farcical Klown Kar Kavalkade for what it truly is and VOTE this time. (Remember, Americans outnumber Republicans 2:1, so when we ALL vote intelligently, AMERICA wins.)
I forgot which team showed it, but one had a three-screen with Klobuchar, Schmitt-head and his two dimwit lackeys, and breathless disinformation propagator and Trump bal...err, bootlicker Katie Britt all on-screen contemporaneously; and the instant that the aides and Britt (she's dum, but not with a "B," so she EVENTUALLY caught on) "got it" that their moronic and ill-researched "gotcha" scheme made them the laughingstock of a Republican Congress that is ALREADY a global laughingstock was absolutely priceless. Her "Mitch McConnell freeze" is PERFECT as the realization gradually dawns upon her dim cultist brain that the cult's "grand conspiracy" perjury trap is as moronic as the voters who chose her and the Schmitthead to represent them. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Love it. And also amused at fake Southerner Kennedy (no relation) who complained about "filibustering" by Smith spent more time pausing like a june bug tryin' to walk on a hot tractor hood than speaking; then when he DID speak, it was more like a billy goat trying to explain a math problem to a hound dog (did I get all the fake Southernisms right like Kennedy would've? Trying to be as good at being "Southern" as he is) with him making lots of sound, but essentially no substance to it.
VOTE NOV 3! Take a carpool or busload with you! Apathy kills democracy, as we saw in 2024; and now we're here. Don't let the dumbest and least-informed among us make the decision on who leads our policy choices.
MO Sen. Eric Schmitt tried to run a bluff by saying, "What would you say if I showed you the series of text messages from your team...." If he actually had them, he would have said, "Here is a series of text messages from your team." Stupidity upon stupidity.
When the Democrats win the majority in Congress on Nov. 3, they can begin planning the ceremony at which to award Jack Smith the Congressional Gold Medal. Highest Congressional honors to a most honorable and courageous man.
trump, maga, and GOP senators, the dumbest people on the planet, are trying to manage the most complex of issues, and continually falling on their stupid faces. Go, Jack Smith!
Aileen Cannon’s seal on Jack Smith’s findings is all about PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY.
In 2024, Cannon’s corrupt decision gave trumpsters room to claim that his felonious, national security endangering document theft wasn’t necessarily full-blown treason (so that they could rationalize voting for him anyway).
Now, a shitload of shithead red Senators claims that something they definitely haven’t seen, the Special Counsel’s work product, definitely wasn’t true and was definitely produced as a frame up.
Ironically, the whole agenda yesterday was the climax of those shitheads’ frame up of Smith. They had 2 plays to execute yesterday, and practically all of the power in that room.
One play was to bait him into violating Cannon’s gag, and the other was a now familiar perjury trap. They failed rather spectacularly at both!
As a citizen of Missouri, I can only say how sorry we are that we sent this big pile of Schmitt to DC.
I hope you can get that POS out of politics once and for all! Please 🙏
I don't know much about sportsball, but today I know a bit more.
Oh, and I knew nothing about Sen. Schmitt, but today I know enough to laugh at him.
Trump wants to build a ballroom; Republicans want to make the floor of the Senate into a playground.
I'm sure people paying $4.50 a gallon are pleased that the Senate spent 6 hours on this charade. Great closing argument, guys!

Any suggestions as to how we keep idiots like Schmitt out of government?😞. There is no bottom for these bottom-feeders.
The problem isn't the generic "WE."
The problem lies with the voters in his home state.
There’s an Eric Schmitt in almost every state. This is most definitely a “we” problem.
Fair point.
If the facts are against you, pound the law. If the law is against you, pound the facts. If both are against you, pound the table. If you’re Eric Schmitt, pound sand.
It was a beautiful day!! Not only did Smith go to the HAWKEYES game, there are pictures!

Get your fact straight. Search though Jack Smith's findings about the Jan 6th insurrection and other crimes Trump committed with this online resource.

One small correction: In the last sentence, it should be "shoo-in" not "shoe-in". Otherwise, great article as always!
