This clips out the part where Schmidtt tells Smith he's going down in history as a "total dirtbag"

    The GOP consistently votes for and encourages the dumbest fucking people on the planet. I'm honestly surprised he can read.

    Did Shit know the whole time or only when the big graphic came up behind him? He sure didn't want that card to come back out after he looked at it. Stupid.

    The witness is Jack Smith, who used to be the federal prosecutor in charge of prosecuting Donald Trump.

    The Atlanta Hawks are a professional NBA mens basketball team that play their home games in Atlanta, Georgia.

    The Senator was trying to prove that Jack Smith secretly had a meeting with Fani Willis in Atlanta, who was a Georgia state's attorney in charge of prosecuting Donald Trump on a different case. The Senator found a reference to the "Hawks" in Jack Smith's text messages. He felt that this alone proved that Smith had met Willis.

    There was just one little problem. The text message was actually about the Iowa Hawkeyes, a college womens basketball team. Jack Smith had actually attended a Hawkeyes game against U of Maryland in Maryland. At that game he saw Caitlin Clark score 38 points and 12 assists.

    Jack Smith testified he is a fan of Caitlin Clark, and he never visited Atlanta in the 2024 time frame, unless he was just passing through the airport.

    The Senator asked Smith if he went to a Hawks game. Smith said he didn’t. Schmidt accused Smith of perjury claiming he had evidence. It turned out the evidence was that Smith went to a Hawkeye’s game in a completely different state.

    If I understand this the Senator perjured himself. He used found from his office to go to a sport event, lied about it and lied again about it. Smith confronted him, he lied again, Smith show him that he had all the text messages from his team saying he was at the game

    You did not understand this. You understood what a screeching moron who desperately wanted a gotcha moment and couldn't accept that reality was different erroneously claimed.

    Which is very interesting, because we also have proof that the GOP sent out influencer instructions to harp on this before the actual testimony embarrassed this clown.
