NOTE: Cspan is messing with everything, so the time goes from negative to positive. Jack starts speaking at -3:27. Their clipping tool doesn't work and there is no transcript. Does Cspan receive government money?

If you come out with anything at all, it's that trump committed treason and Grassley really needs to retire. He's in his 90s.

no shit. we went beyond contitutional crises when ignoring due process and illegal search and seizure became executive policy.

He didn't do a press conference, he was brought in to testify. This is not a "no shit" moment, but a "he said it loud and clear" moment.

fair.

I watched the whole thing live this morning because 1. Jack Smith is a hero and 2. apparently I hate myself.

It was worth it when Eric Schmitt embarrassed himself, though. Hilarious watching him detonate his stupid VP ambitions with his made up bullshit in real time.

Yep, he was specifically brought in by republicans to try to get him to perjure himself, so the fact that he said it and they didnt automatically call it perjury means they know its true.

Holy shit, you're right. I don't think I would have figured that out. no /s

Being willing to publicly embarrass yourself to support a trump conspiracy theory is beneficial in the GOP.

Well, it means that it matches his prior testimonies and reports. Not that it's "true".

Old eric is quite the dirtbag..

Jack Smith is that one beacon of shining light in a dirty and dark "trump world". My biggest beef is the sitting republicans who support him, regardless of what he does to the people they represent. These people should receive the worst of any forthcoming punishments.

ambiguous use of "him" threw me for a minute

I'm worried for this man

Me too. And I wrote it. "Him" equals trump, just to be clear the second time around, for anyone else.

This guy balls.
