Jack Smith tells Congress he wants to testify publicly

[schmidlap]

Selective?

Boo-freaking-hoo!

Smith selectively gathered phone records on republican senators and republican senators only.

That gander sauce never tastes like you thought it did foes it?

Evidence is sought where it is apt to be found, as was the practice of independent Special Counsel Jack Smith.

No competent investigator indulges in random, indiscriminate searches.

Evidence is sought where it is apt to be found, as was the case with independent Jack Smith.

No competent Justice Department Special Counsel indulges in indiscriminate searches.

Evidence of what, exactly?

For what prosecutable crimes was Smith investigating Republican Senators?

Don't bother to answer.You would have no way of knowing and i'm not interested in what you might make up.

Those are the questions that Jack Smith will be asked at his transcribed interview. He will not be given a chance at a public forum where he can simply run out the clock for five minutes with each senator.

After the senate staff lawyers have gone over him with a fine toothed comb, then the Senate may grant him his public hearing.

My guess is that he either dodges questions or takes the fifth in both places. if so, he should give his soul to Jesus, because his a** will belong to Pam Bondi.

Perhaps if Smith is allowed to testify in public about his investigative methods and reasons for them you'll stop lying about it. But I doubt it.

Jack Smith's attorneys defend special counsel's analyzing GOP lawmakers' phone data as "lawful"

Attorneys for former special counsel Jack Smith called his actions "entirely lawful, proper and consistent with established Department of Justice policy."

Evidence of what, exactly?

Attorneys for former special counsel Jack Smith called his actions "entirely lawful, proper and consistent with established Department of Justice policy" in defending the investigative steps taken by his team, including obtaining phone records of sitting Republican lawmakers as part of the probe of President Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Earlier this month, Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley, who leads the Senate Judiciary Committee, published a document alleging that the phone data from eight GOP senators and one Republican House member were obtained by the FBI as part of Smith's investigation into efforts by President Trump and his allies to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

In a letter to Grassley dated Monday, Smith's attorneys Lanny A. Breuer and Peter Koski wrote that they are "compelled to correct inaccurate assertions made by you and others concerning the issuance of a grand jury subpoena" for the lawmakers' phone records, rebuffing criticism from GOP lawmakers that the FBI "tapped" the lawmakers' phones and "spied" on their communications.

The records, which the FBI analyzed in 2023, enabled investigators to see basic information about the date and time of phone calls but not the content of the communications, the senators said. The senators' phone data that investigators scrutinized came for calls made between Jan. 4 and Jan. 7, 2021, and was obtained by Smith through a grand jury subpoena, the senators said.

You remember trump plotted to overturn the results of the election, right?

For what prosecutable crimes was Smith investigating Republican Senators?

Was the appointed independent Special Counsel investigating any senators for having committed crimes, or was he properly seeking evidence pertinent to his Justice Department assignment?

Don't bother to answer.You would have no way of knowing and i'm not interested in what you might make up.

Those are the questions that Jack Smith will be asked at his transcribed interview. He will not be given a chance at a public forum where he can simply run out the clock for five minutes with each senator.

I look forward to Smith being allowed to engage his accusers publicly and under oath if they have the temerity to allow him to do so.

Former special counsel Jack Smith asks to testify publicly on Trump investigations: ‘Prepared to answer questions’​

Great news for Smith! As long as he gets a jury made up of attorneys who worked with him on the investigations and his own personal attorneys, he has very little chance of being convicted.

He was indicted for that?

I remember many people, including Trump, questioning the results of an election with such a large number of irregularities in swing state. Is that the part that was against the law?

His criminal trial will be public.

“As described by various Senators, the toll data collection was narrowly tailored and limited to the four days from January 4, 2021 to January 7, 2021, with a focus on telephonic activity during the period immediately surrounding the January 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol,” reads the letter from Lanny Breuer and Peter Koski, which was reviewed by CNN.

“The subpoena’s limited temporal range is consistent with a focused effort to confirm or refute reports by multiple news outlets that during and after the January 6 riots at the Capitol, President Trump and his surrogates attempted to call Senators to urge them to delay the certification of the 2020 election results.”

The Smith attorneys note that toll records of then-President Joe Biden were obtained by special counsel Robert Hur in the probe of his mishandling of classified documents, and in the investigation of Sen. Bob Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat who was convicted on bribery and foreign influence charges.

“Mr. Smith’s use of the toll records as Special Counsel was lawful and in accordance with normal investigative procedure,” the letter from Smith’s attorneys says.

You haven't read it yourself, or you'd be posting excerpts instead of giving us a link and expecting us to take your homework assignment.

No one is fooled. You need some new material.

Thread 'Maybe it's time for a refresher regarding trump's indictment for trying to subvert the election.'

Nov 3, 2025

The subject of Jack Smith's request to testify publicly so he can refute allegations made against him, primarily by House Repub's, has caused trump devotees to once again assume a defense crouch. Essentially denying the evidence in Smith's indictments. Refusing to read the documents, despite my best efforts, he has released in support of the case against Don.

So, I thought a walk down memory lane might be in order.
