Jack Smith tells Congress he wants to testify publicly

[ColonelAngus]

Remember when the media tried to sell us on what a sharp bad ass Mueller was, then when he testified, he seemed like a Biden body double?

Just a doddering old drooling imbecile.

An outstanding idea which Trump will direct closeted homo Mike Johnson to quash at all costs.

Jack Smith has agreed to testify in front of Jordan's committee, but publicly. I believe another victim did this and they wouldn't hold a public hearing. This should be interesting.

Jack Smith tells Congress he wants to testify publicly​

https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5571310-jack-smith-public-testimony/

Former special counsel Jack Smith is asking that he be allowed to appear publicly after House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) demanded his testimony.

“Given the many mischaracterizations of Mr. Smith’s investigation into President Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents and role in attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election, Mr. Smith respectfully requests the opportunity to testify in open hearings before the House and Senate Judiciary Committees,” his attorneys wrote in a letter to Jordan.

Jordan requested a transcribed, closed-door interview with Smith earlier this month, accusing the former special counsel and his team team of launching “politically motivated prosecutions” into Trump and trying to “silence” him during the campaign.

Smith’s effort to appear publicly would require the blessing of the Justice Department, with his attorneys saying he would need guidance so he doesn’t violate any rules regarding grand jury secrecy. He would also likely be asked to answer questions about the Mar-a-Lago investigation. The special counsel’s final report on that case has not been released.

“He is prepared to answer questions about the Special Counsel’s investigation and prosecution, but requires assurance from the Department of Justice that he will not be punished for doing so,” Smith’s legal team said.

Fine, he can have his wish. We will stream his trial live online every day.

When did the court order the release of Smith’s grand jury information?

When has he scheduled his hearing? He needs to do that first so they know when to ask the court for the time place and manner

He needs to stop grandstanding

No you won't. Fed trials don't permit cameras. I wish they did though.

 

[rightwinger]

He will get his public hearing when he gets what The Autopen saved Hunter Biden from: a trial in front of a jury of his peers.

Congress should leave him to the DOJ. After his criminal trial, he can testify from prison if convicted or the Poor House if acquitted.

Go for it

Lets him present all his Trump evidence for the public

Of course he does, he wants to smear Trump as early and often as possible whether it's true or not.

Smith is a private citizen. He has no standing. It’d have to come from the Trump administration. They haven’t petitioned the court.

So it makes no difference when it comes to his testimony.

I’d agree to let him testify publicly as long as Congress has first gotten all its ducks in a row. Also, since there is at least a chance that he could end up being prosecuted himself, I’d suggest that he be publicly advised of his Miranda rights. (It doesn’t really pertain, yet, since he hasn’t been arrested.)

Nevertheless, his testimony before Congress could be used against him at a possible future criminal trial, unless he were granted immunity. And I believe Congress should refuse to grant him any immunity if any kind in order to get his testimony. If he wants the questioning to be done in public, fine. But it would be fun to see him having to “take the Fifth Amendment privilege against possible self incrimination” in public, too. And repeatedly.

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.

I think that's right. Dotard, the convicted criminal, doesn't want the public to be reminded of his crimes against the state.

 

[berg80]

Yes the thinkers do not fear Jack Shit Smith because just like Mueller, if he had anything it would already be out

It is out in the form of the multiple indictments, which are available to the public. But people are too lazy to read them.

This is more about Smith having a chance to directly confront the lies about him and his investigations on the public record so Repubs can't distort his words with misinformation.

 

[westwall]

Truth? Are you a deaf dumb blind blind fool?

Yes

 

[berg80]

Fine, he can have his wish. We will stream his trial live online every day.

You mean you haven't figured out there will be no trial cuz there was no crime? trump is the criminal, remember?

 

[Seymour Flops]

Go for it

Highly unlikely.

At a congressional hearing, when its democrats turned to question him.Yes, he would be allowed to ramble on and on about all the allegations against trump. Just in case we've only heard those a hundred and seventeen times that would be a hundred and eighteen.

At his criminal trial, he will only be allowed to present evidence that exonerates him from the accusations against him. What trump did or did not do would have no bearing on that unless he was charged, somehow being an accomplice.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Of course he does, he wants to smear Trump as early and often as possible whether it's true or not.

A reminder, Jordan has already called on him to testify. Smith didn't start this.

 

[BULLDOG]

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.

so point out any credible evidence

 

[task0778]

A reminder, Jordan has already called on him to testify. Smith didn't start this.

IMHO, Jordan is grandstanding. He ain't going to get shit from Smith, he's a lawyer, right? Lawyers know how to talk all day disparaging somebody (Trump in this case) without incriminating himself. Jordan and the GOP would be nuts to give him a public forum.

Some might say that Smith started this when he went after Trump. It was a victimless charge that wouldn't have been brought if Trump had not run for re-election last year. It was political lawfare and now we see tit for tat. It was bullshit then and it's bullshit now, nothing more than partisan politics that isn't going to change any minds.

 

[berg80]

At his criminal trial

There won't be one. Court is not a place where trumples get to lie without consequence. Making a case against Smith impossible to pursue with success.

 

[AZrailwhale]

**** jack Smith. I don't even want there to be congressional hearings with the prick. They are a waste of time.

Indict the asshole for the multiple crimes he has committed, perjury, conspiracy to commit perjury, false imprisonment, etc.

Get this ******* prick in prison.

I would be all for it as long as he does it under oath and he commits to not taking the fifth and answering every question posed to him in its entirety. If he doesn't, he's just playing to the media.

 

[kyzr]

There won't be one. Court is not a place where trumples get to lie without consequence. Making a case against Smith impossible to pursue with success.

Jack smith will have a grand jury hear the evidence, if an indictment happens he'll get his day in court.
