Jack Smith Exposes Trump as a Criminal who Belongs in Prison
Former Special Counsel Jack Smith delivered a powerful opening statement in his testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee exposing Trump as a Criminal who Belongs in Prison, calling out Trump for politicizing the Justice Department and stressing the importance of the rule of law.
The fact that REPUBLICANS attacked Prosecutor Jack Smith and doing everything possible to discredit him goes to show what despicable, lawless, POS’s Republicans are who are destroying our country by enabling and defending TRUMP
Trump ‘belongs’ in jail: DOJ’s Smith on case, STAR GOP witness, absurd pardons

Vindicated! Trump’s prosecutor stuns & dunks on confused GOP
Sen. Dick Durbin RIPS Republicans’ WAR on Jack Smith
Todd Blanche defended Donald Trump in both of the criminal cases Jack Smith brought against him. Now, as attorney general, Blanche gets to decide whether Smith should be charged with lying to Congress. As Smith finally testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Dick Durbin laid out what Smith’s investigations actually found. In this video, I break down the question most coverage is skipping: can they really charge Jack Smith, and would it hold up?
The criminal referral from Representative Jim Jordan rests on Smith’s answer about toll records, which show who called whom and for how long, but not what anybody said. The texts involving 44 members of Congress that Republicans keep pointing to came from a National Archives subpoena for Trump White House phones, not from any phone company.
Former U.S. attorney Harry Litman called it the weakest false statement case he has ever seen. Jordan’s own report shows Smith’s office dropped subpoenas for two more lawmakers when AT&T questioned the legal basis. And at his confirmation hearing, Blanche said yes when a Republican senator asked him to investigate Smith for perjury.
The legal case may be thin, but the decision sits with Trump’s former defense lawyer, running a Justice Department that has already indicted James Comey twice. The Senate decides who runs that department, and voter registration closes Monday, October 5 in Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Ohio, with other states close behind.
