Jack Smith tells Congress he wants to testify publicly

[struth]

There are no rules that say a hearing must be done behind closed doors.

Sure, but there is no rules one can't be. So you know, there is that.

 

[pknopp]

actually there are exemptions,

Rule 6. The Grand Jury

www.law.cornell.edu

So yes it matters if it's behind closed doors.

Behind closed doors he could simply claim the 5th over and over like Trump did.

Where the government is concerned I'm always going to side with transparency.

 

[struth]

Republicans are cowards, they fear facts and the truth.

If that were true, then they wouldn't of requested his testimony. The reason they did, was because they want the truth....Jack is now grandstanding so he can get out of telling the facts and truth by claiming DOJ and federal law forbid it.

So you aren't interested in what happened in the grand jury?

Jack Smith ready to respond to GOP questions, but he wants the public to see his answers

Last week, Republican lawmakers tried to go on the offensive against the former special counsel. This week, he turned the tables and called their bluff.

There is no way in hell that the maga witch hunters are going to allow Jack Smith to testify in public about the reams of evidence he has on the criminality of D.J. Trump. So, of course, Jack will refuse to testify closed door and maga will screech that he has something to hide, when in fact, it is the maga cult that has something to hide. And that is the criminality of their crime boss, D.J. Trump!

Bigly!!!

Yes the thinkers do not fear Jack Shit Smith because just like Mueller, if he had anything it would already be out
His feckless “threats” are as limp dick as he is. He knows his ass is grass and is trying to squirm out of that

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

There are no laws that would prevent this being held in public.

If you repeat in long enough your wish ma come true.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

What is this "cult" of which you speak?

I know of a cult that promotes the notion that women have penises, but I don't know about this one.

 

[struth]

In public.

um we don't do grand juries in public, we do them in sescret to protect the innocent and encourage witnesses to come forward.

Why do you want to keep witnesses from coming forward and being honest?

 

[struth]

What is Jordan and the Justice Dept afraid of?

Jack hiding behind federal laws that prevent the disclosure of grand jury proceedings.

Which exception do you think applies to giving that information to Congress?

I support anything to do with the government being done in public. They have lost all benefit of the doubt.

 

[meaner gene]

Usually it's the closed door one first, then the public one, once they get the information they need.

I am fine with that process taking place, but first the Committee has a job to do, then Smith can get his 15 mins

Actually it's PUBLIC, and then PRIVATE.

Allowing him to be questioned on anything, where he can chose to answering in private. Which only requires a majority vote of the committee;.

A committee may vote to close a hearing for reasons including:
National security information
Personnel or management issues
Protecting an individual's privacy or reputation
Law enforcement activities
Confidential financial or commercial information

 

[westwall]

Don't you need some kind of evidence other than unfounded accusations and conspiracy theories to do that?

There's plenty of evidence. The dumbass was so secure in his belief he would be protected that he didn't even try to hide his crimes.

Jack Smith will be up to his ass in alligators after the grand jury, hope his testimony can dig the hole even deeper

In-person review: Congress members can review an unredacted version of the report that contains the grand jury information by entering a secure facility known as a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF).

 

[RetiredGySgt]
