Earlier Rep #TedLieu (D-CA) kicked some #GOP ass for their #lies & #hypocrisy.
Lieu called out his Republican colleagues for choosing to hold a hearing on #JackSmith’s probes into #Trump instead of an oversight hearing into #DOJ’s slow release of files related to the late sex offender #JeffreyEpstein.

#StewartRhodes was serving his time in prison when his sentence was commuted by #Trump in Jan 2025. It was one of the first actions taken by Trump when he resumed office.
Federal District Judge Amit Mehta ruled in Jan 2025 that Rhodes & other members of the #OathKeepers needed to seek #court permission to travel to #DC or be on Capitol Grounds.
According to the ADL, the Oath Keepers is an anti-government #extremist org within the #militia movement.

Rep #HankJohnson (D-GA) is also questioning #JackSmith very effectively. Unfortunately it is very clear that this “hearing” is designed to be a sound bite generator for the #Republicans to shop around to #FarRight #media outlets.

#Republican #House #Judiciary Committee members are going to focus on things like #CassidyHutchinson & the #subpoenas for #Congress members’ phone logs, because if they let #JackSmith get into the actual #evidence he gathered against #Trump, it will be damning.

Also the grandstanding performative courtroom drama behavior of the #congress members is quite heavy handed. #JackSmith who has repeatedly been described as measured & calm is coming off a little stiff especially because he keeps being interrupted. He needs to come back at them like they are hostile witnesses.

The questioning by #GymJordan about #CassidyHutchinson was made-for-TV drama.
#JackSmith didn’t need to characterize whether he “thought” Hutchinson was a liar.
Her testimony was #hearsay. Hearsay does not hold up in #court. That’s all he had to say.
Unfortunately Jordan actually found a way to politicize Smith’s measured response that he hadn’t made a final decision on a witness list.

On #Jan6, 2021, over 140 law enforcement officers were assaulted, #JackSmith plans to tell #Congress, “a fact we should never forget.”
“Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President #Trump engaged in criminal activity. If asked whether to prosecute a former President based on the same facts today, I would do so regardless of whether that President was a Republican or a Democrat.”

“Rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 presidential #election, President #Trump engaged in a #criminal scheme to overturn the results & prevent the lawful transfer of power,” #JackSmith wrote in his prepared statement.

“I am not a politician, & I have no partisan loyalties. My career has been dedicated to serving our country by upholding the rule of law,” #JackSmith says in his prepared statement.
Smith is expected to tell #Congress that his approach is to always follow the facts without fear or favor.
