Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) is facing accusations he tried to launch a conspiracy tying former special counsel Jack Smith to others who prosecuted President Trump — a line of questioning that unwound when the senator apparently confused two basketball teams.
…
“Somebody didn’t do their homework,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) told The Hill.
“I’m a trial lawyer by profession. You get it right, or don’t do it.”


Honestly, I’m not sure.
I don’t have the intestinal fortitude to brave Elon’s safe space to see, but we know Benny Johnson and other astroturf MAGA repeaters tweeted preemptive false signal boosts about perjury before the confrontation was even over, and bias-reinforcing readers will never watch a 5-minute clip and understand it, or see the same factual reporting we saw. And even with some taking down their “gotcha” posts, they wouldn’t in a million years issue a correction or apology. Newsmax and Fox just will quietly not report on it.
I’m guessing it was enough to become more permanent evidence of the deep state for a lot of MAGA people.
