Jack Smith has stones.
Not that it will matter, but I’m glad all this stuff is in the open. Jack knows where all the bodies are buried.
But determining the truth is not what the GOP wants. The exchanges were childish and misleading at best, or more correctly gaslighting and just plain mind numbingly ignorant and sycophantic. If there ever comes a reckoning, this will be a pillar of the evidence against them. I would be so happy if there is before I die but I’m not hopeful.
Cline asked Smith if he was able to identify a witness who might have been intimidated by Trump — that’s when Smith set the record straight.
“We had extremely thorough evidence that his statements were having an effect on the proceedings,” Smith said. “That is not permitted in any court of law in the United States.”
Cline tried to push back and argue that he should have reconsidered the gag order. Smith had a sharp response to the suggestion.
“Both courts upheld the orders, and it is not incumbent on a prosecutor to wait until someone gets killed before they move for an order to protect the proceedings,” Smith said.
Jack Smith did everything by the book because he knew his present situation was a possible outcome. The incompetence that Trump, and by extension, the DOJ, have shown in prosecuting their enemies must be a huge concern for them as they consider going up against a formidable opponent like Smith, who has consistently shown time and again that he has his mother fucking shit in order.
This is what most competent law enforcement and justice departments do and why “justice” takes time to cross all the Ts and dot the Is. The case falls apart if one bit is out of place. Unless you don’t actually care about justice or the rule of law and disregard all judgments but your own.
Or y’know, he did everything by the book because he’s a good lawyer with good ethics?
both can be true
I believe both, but presenting the way OP did makes it sound like it’s not how he would treat a different case.
Yeah, I think Smith is a person of integrity. Trump sure hates him, and that is becoming a sure sign of moral character. I would be so ashamed to be someone Trump admired.
Its times like this I wish MAGA could read.
If Jack Smith had been in charge instead of Robert “Feckless” Mueller, maybe Teflon Don would have actually been removed by the Senate the first time he was impeached
You mean Robert “Conservative Traitor” Mueller, right?
The only Mueller I remember was the one who entered the public spotlight in the first place by being nominated for SCOTUS specifically because he was so conservative that Obama figured not even Mitch McConnel could find an excuse to object to him.
Your thinking of Merrick Garland (sp?)
Not one slam? Did he even try?
