Jack Smith Defends His Indefensible Political Witch-Hunt; Even CNN's Legal Analyst Admits Smith Is Guilty

@C_3C_3
Want your blood to boil?
The Jack Smith Investigation cost taxpayers over $35 million.
$35,000,000
All based on a scam.
Targeting enemies.
With 65% of that $35million paying their salaries.
Jack and his team got rich for sedition.

Brandon Gill grilled Jack Smith on three points:

1, why he had sought the phone records of the incoming Speaker of the House, extending back a year, when he had just become speaker 16 days earlier. This makes it look very much look like a purely political witch-hunt, as Johnson did not have power to run interference for Trump before hand.

2, why he sought these phone records in defiance of a warning from a Biden attorney that doing so would be a violation of the Speech and Debate Clause. (A clause which says that no member of Congress shall be subject to legal process for any statement they make in Congress (later extended to cover any statement they make outside of Congress, so long as it's part of their work as a congressman.)

3, why he claimed that Mike Johnson was a "flight risk" when he told Johnson's phone company to hide the fact that his records had been granted to a third party. Jack Smith claimed that keeping this secret was necessary to make sure that Johnson did not take flight from prosecution.

He now admits that Johnson was no flight risk.

If you watch one moment from Jack Smith's testimony in Congress today, watch him get reduced to a stuttering, stammering mess when confronted with his own LIES:
GILL: "The subpoena covered the time period between November 2020 and January 2021. Is that right?"
SMITH: "Uh, I'm sorry, sir, could you say that again?"
GILL: "We're not gonna delay like this."

Jack Smith is asking to have questions re-asked because each congresman only has five minutes total time, and he wants to waste as much Republican time as possible endlessly repeating and clarifying questions.

GILL: "How many days after Kevin McCarthy was sworn in as Speaker did you subpoena his records?
SMITH: "Uh, I don't recall, but those two things had nothing to do with one another."
GILL: "It was 16 days after becoming the highest ranking Republican in the House of Representatives, you subpoenaed his toll records. Do you agree that that might reasonably be considered a violation of the Speech or Debate Clause?"
SMITH: "Uh, I do not"
GILL: "At the time you, you secured those non-disclosure orders, was Speaker McCarthy a flight risk?"
SMITH: "He was not."
GILL: "He was not. Then why did your non-disclosure order refer to him as a flight risk? It says right here, 'The court finds reasonable grounds to believe that such disclosure will result in flight from prosecution.' You were using clearly false information to secure a non-disclosure order to hide from Speaker McCarthy and from the American people the fact that you were spying on his toll records."

Jack Smith on why he attempted to bring Trump to trial without giving him sufficient time to read the millions of pages of documents disclosed to him: Gee I was just looking out for Trump's right to a speedy trial. I'm a hero!

Rep. Onder just body slammed Smith on his effort to give Trump's legal team little time to read millions of pages of documents. Smith's response was that he wanted to be sure that Trump got a speedy trial, even though the Trump team was trying to slow down the trial to review his document dump...

Even CNN pointed out that Smith didn't even bother denying he rushed the case just to make a political impact:

Even CNN is now turning on Jack Smith after his House Judiciary testimony.

CNN legal analyst Elie Honig zeroed in on the moment Republicans cornered Smith over rushing the Trump case right before the 2024 election — and Smith had no answer.

If you remember, Jack Smith was improperly appointed, which means that the first eleven months of his term were conducted without proper authorization by the government, including the first three indictments of Trump.

Eleven months later, Merrick Garland attempted to correct this without admitting anything needed to be corrected. Jack Smith was appointed and sworn in a second time.

This Legal Eagle has a Biden-like memory loss about the details of this episode.

🔥HOO BOY: @Lancegooden might've just caught Jack Smith & former Attorney General Garland RED-HANDED!

GOODEN: "Would you agree that taking the oath of office is a legal requirement for the job that you had?"

SMITH: "I haven't researched whether it's required or not."

In one more bit of sedition by Jack Smith, he refused to answer questions about everyone's favorite phony-ass witness, Madison Cornbread.

Jordan confronted Smith with his own report that Madison Cornbread was a trash hearsay witness without any credibility, and so would not call her himself. No judge would accept her "testimony," he concluded.

But Smith refused to answer questions about why the so-called "J6 Committee" accepted this fraudulent testimony and based many of their conclusions on it.

He specifically refuses to say if he ever "confirmed" Madison Cornbread's tall tales.

Publicity and referrals. Not consequences. Consequences are not ever the desired outcome. It's one of the reasons I have a hard time caring about congressional investigations or the associated dog-and-pony shows. When it does an "investigation," Congress is either providing a pretext for an eager DoJ to target political enemies, or it is putting a show for the rubes knowing full well the DoJ ain't going to pursue it.

73 I saw Tron Ares last night. Although it bombed horribly at the box office, the movie is in fact a stunning cinematic achievement: they took a promising plot, some cool visuals and tech, and turned it into a boring snoozefest.

I mean, how can you make a Light Cycle chase through the streets of real San Francisco be boring? That takes talent! Film students should study Tron Ares for generations to come.

The script was dogshit and made little sense. Among other things, I couldn't figure out why the movie thought anyone would give a shit which tech bro got the McGuffin. I sure didn't.

The woke casting was also annoying, but oddly the best character was Athena and the best acting was the black girl who played her. The main white guy -- Jared Leto -- was boring and miscast.

The film did have really good sound design and use of Atmos, though. The sounds whipped around and above me like I was there in the scene.

Look at all the programs Democrats were using as straw men to launder money back to their party.

79 Yesterday I followed these exciting events on Twitter.
Conservatives were thrilled that Smith was finally getting "grilled," "exposed," etc and that the Republicans asked such insightful and biting questions.

It made me harken back to the days when Gowdy and company would ask such clever and biting questions, and all the clever and biting questions that Republican Congressmen have asked of Democrat ne'er-do-wells in these hearings over the past 20 years.

Wow. Exciting and biting. And no one ever goes to jail. Ever.

90 One of my favorite Jack Smith moments was when Harriet Hageman asked him he if would take Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony into a court of law and he basically said he'd try to make hearsay work.

Because without refuting Hageman's characterization of Hutchinson's testimony as hearsay, he said he wouldn't be so sure that he wouldn't take it in.

He's probably thinking about fellow countryman judges.

The project was in development for 15 years, and feels it. I think they quickly re-wrote the script in light of the AI hysteria, but it doesn't really work.

I also swear the Korean girl was originally supposed to be an AI construct herself. She talks and even moves so oddly (and woodenly) that I thought the big reveal at the end was going to be that she was an AI model of her dead sister. That would at least have been better than what we got.

I am in the same boat. I want to see the entire network, including two democrat presidents, exposed as attempting to destroy our government through misprision of justice. They literally tried to remove a president because they lost an election. And then tried to kill him.

It is no coincidence that Biden dropped out immediately after Trump survived an assassination attempt.

What that did was crowd out any further (or relevant or intelligent) discussion. And of course slander Republicans. And that is all the news has been since - one dose of narrative after another.

Fortunately Trump completely understands how they do it and is in some ways better at it than practically all of them put together.

Another way to look at it is from Smith's and his backers' POV - namely, the high-risk, high-reward plan. If the SOB was successful, DJT is off the board, the GOP is in total disarray, Harris and Walz glide in and destroy what's left of the country. And that $35M was on the taxpayers' dime to boot. So, for them, the $35M was literally "nothing".

For a made-up, imaginary, no-legal-basis crimes.

Now, what if it wasn't Trump?
What if it wasn't a billionaire.?

Say, just a concerned citizen who went to a rally in DC to protest election irregularities--as hundreds of thousands of Democrats have done after every election of a Republican after 2000.
And you saw armed police officers open the doors of the Capital.
And chatting and joking with people as they walked by.
So you walked in as well.

And 3 months later found FBI agents at your door to arrest you.
And throw you in solitary confinement in DC for the next 3 years.
You're not a billionaire.
You're not Trump.

It's not Trump they are after--it is you.
Even now.
And they brought the full force, weight and power of the entire federal government to bear on nobodies for non-crimes.

242 Obviously Garland and Smith broke the law and they did what they did in bad faith and for purely partisan reasons.

They just expected the gambit to work and for Biden to get reelected, and later for Kamala to prevail (in part because of the "prosecution" against Trump).

The only thing that got in the way was the actual election (that didn't go according to plan) which - had the outcome been otherwise - would have buried these crimes for all time.

Ugly women have been getting married, occupying a social circle, having children and living life since the dawn of time. They don't get movie star roles, but then neither do most people.

People like Dworkin would have been employed and dripping poison into the ears of youth if they pleased anyway, as schoolteachers if nothing else, long before feminism existed. That many feminists are also ugly is beside the point and uglier women will probably gravitate to it because it confers unearned power, influence and privilege more easily than the alternatives - but that is an effect, not a cause.

She's in the new movie based on the true story of the guy who robbed a lot of retail joints and lived undetected in a Toys R Us.

What I remember about her when she was in Spider-Man is she said older guys creeped her out. ( she was talking about in their 30's and 40's.) I thought to myself she's going to hit the wall hard when she gets that age. She's not looking great now and it's going to get worse.

INSURRECTION: Democrat Arizona AG Kris Mayes Says Citizens Can Shoot ICE Agents

AG Kris Mayes, Arizona’s top law enforcement official, sparked national outrage after publicly declaring citizens could shoot masked federal ICE agents and later shrug it off as “just the law.”

In a televised interview, Mayes warned that Arizona’s Stand Your Ground statute could justify lethal force against Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers if residents claim they felt threatened—effectively normalizing the idea of armed confrontations with federal agents.

371 It's all clear what went on here with Jack Smith and his political persecutions and spying. Even CNN knows.

But what Jack Smith knows is it doesn't matter. Two years to get to a trial, get lucky with a TDS juror or two or if not be pardoned by a dem or slap on this wrist by dem judge.

They are protected. Like the mafia.

I figure: it's not new. We're all used to some of its products. And it was a deal forced on us, without much in return.

Notice the progressives never CTFD-ed they just checked a box and started on the next item to get aggressive about.

Net return: ~0.

This is the way that progressives are going to act. And it is not honest.

382 Remember, BLM riots worked so well in 2020 that they stopped ballot counting in six states in the middle of the night to ballot box stuff like Tammany Hall to barely get Biden an electoral college victory.

I didn't say that the riots locked in the win for Biden, but that's what they were put on for. They completely disappeared right after the election. Just like the Occupy movement in 2012 and the women's protests they tried to gin up in 2015. They try to start something like this prior to every election.

384 In a televised interview, Mayes warned that Arizona’s Stand Your Ground statute could justify lethal force against Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers if residents claim they felt threatened

If that's the case, hypothetically speaking, one could cap an AG and claim they felt threatened.
Hypothetically speaking, of course.

390 The best part about Dunst in Fargo is she is so crazy that I am pretty certain that a few times when the actors are supposed to look at her like she's crazy, they genuinely can't believe what they're seeing. Like, they don't have to act. They almost seem in awe of how bugfuck insane she is being.

I'm pretty sure that if the role is that of a crazy person, the best actor for the part will be crazy. Crispin Glover in 'Back to the Future' comes to mind. One wonders about Bruce Dern.
