GOP Sen. Eric Schmitt's trap for Jack Smith backfired after getting a theory about a basketball game wrong. Schmitt then clashed with Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who says her point was "don't call someone a dirtbag when you don't have your own facts right."

"getting a theory about a basketball game wrong" lol gtfohwtb. They planted a story in Axios about him being VP material and then weaponized a congressional hearing about national security by knowingly lying to Congress in a clear attempt to defame a witness.

🤡 Eric Schmitt beclowns himself during Jack Smith hearing 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atlanta to go to a Hawks game and collude with Fani Willis, and briefly displayed his "evidence" on a poster board before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- Schmitt's facts were totally wrong. Smith was actually in Maryland at a Hawkeyes (not a Hawks) game and never met Willis. As Klobuchar told him, "You have your teams wrong." Here's the whole deeply embarrassing sequence:

Sen. Klobuchar to Sen. Schmitt: “I’m former prosecutor and I’ve never seen anyone say, ‘What do you think of this?’ and put it down.” Smith: “I recall going to a University of Maryland basketball game where Caitlin Clark was playing…It was Maryland playing Iowa.” Sen. Klobuchar: “Could it then be the University of Iowa’s Hawkeyes?…Perhaps you should’ve looked at it more carefully.” Sen. Schmitt: “Are we just having an open session?…I presented him with text messages about him wanting to meet with people that could’ve obviously been related to the prosecution coordinated with his office in Atlanta!” Sen. Klobuchar: "I think people should have their facts straight before they accuse someone of being a dirtbag."

Former special counsel Jack Smith was pressed by Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) on Tuesday during his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee about whether he attended a NBA game between the Atlanta Hawks and Golden State Warriors in Atlanta in early February 2024. Smith said he “definitely did not go" to an Atlanta Hawks game. "I think you've already perjured yourself," Schitt said during the exchange, calling Smith a "total dirtbag." Smith said he instead attended a Maryland-Iowa women’s basketball game to see Iowa star Caitlin Clark play. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) suggested Schmitt had confused the Iowa Hawkeyes with the Atlanta Hawks and said Smith deserved an apology.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar: We have confirmed that you were right, Mr. Smith. The Iowa Hawkeyes played Maryland on February 3, 2024. The final score was 93-85. Iowa won and Caitlin Clark scored 30 points, so it must've been a pretty good game. The game was, in fact, in Maryland. For a US senator to have false information and imply that you were in another city and then call you a 'dirtbag' is something that deserves an apology.

Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., questioned former special counsel Jack Smith on Tuesday about whether he had attended an NBA game in Atlanta in Feb. 2024, but seemingly confused two different basketball teams. Schmitt said during a Senate Judiciary hearing he had text message evidence that Smith had been in Georgia at a game of the Atlanta Hawks, which took place the day before Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis admitted an affair with Nathan Wade, the special prosecutor who was leading the case against President Donald Trump for his role in a 2020 election interference scheme in Georgia. Smith said he couldn't recall being in Atlanta at that time, and that he definitely did not go to an Atlanta Hawks game. Schmitt briefly presented with a poster board showing screenshots of text messages. “I don’t think you know that we have this stuff,” Schmitt. “I will give you a second to process so you don’t perjure yourself.” The lawmaker added, "I think you've already perjured yourself." Smith said in the hearing he recalled going to a University of Maryland women's basketball game during that timeframe, where Caitlin Clark was playing. At the time, Clark was a star player for the University of Iowa Hawkeyes, a fact that Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar shared during the hearing. "I think that people should have their facts straight before they accuse someone of being a dirtbag, and not get the teams wrong," Klobuchar said in a verbal tussle with Schmitt.
