This may be the most uncomfortable moment in the entire Jack Smith hearing. It's when Sen. Kennedy confronted him about an accusation that Smith had actually asked Garland for the job of Special Counsel. Hoo boy. Watch Smith squirm as he tries to answer the question. KENNEDY: You asked... General Garland to appoint you special counsel, didn't you? SMITH (looks down and scribbles): I don't think that's accurate. He made the decision to appoint me. KENNEDY: In fact, you had people call General Garland to lobby him to appoint you, didn't you? SMITH (looks down and scribbles some more): I don't recall anything like that. KENNEDY: You really wanted to be special counsel, didn't you? SMITH: I accepted the position as special counsel because I had spent 30 years as a nonpartisan prosecutor. I had investigated every sort of criminal case you could possibly imagine, and I thought I was qualified to do the job. I knew that I would do it independently, and I would conduct it the same way whether it were Republican or a Democrat. if Smith wanted to be Special Counsel and had lobbied for that position, it throws all of his partisan activities in a whole new light. As it stands, this looks horrible.show more

If there are no consequences for weaponizing our government, abusing power for political purposes like Jack Smith here or the rest of the Biden regime who intentionally allowed millions of illegal aliens to invade our country, the lawlessness will return when Dems take back power

Jack Smith is primarily known for his prosecutions of Republicans rather than notable cases against Democrats, but there are no significant cases against Democrats highlighted in his career.

I think it's a BS claim. I do think he made sure people knew he was available, but I think he really wanted it to pad his resume, and maybe write a book. Think Hemingway's Old Man & the Sea. My bet is he WILL write a book some day (Salman Rushdie?), but <ahem>, not right now!

THE GOLDEN QUESTION WAS JUST ASKED! Lance Gooden just got Jack Smith to EXPOSE himself and Merrick Garland! Gooden: "It strikes me as odd that you don't remember who SWORE YOU IN, or how you were sworn in." Everyone knows that the appointment of Smith as Special Counsel wasn't LAWFUL, and Jack was just backed into a corner! Gooden "Attorney General Garland had you retake the oath of office...Why did he make you do that? " Smith tried to DENY knowing the "particulars" but Lance just blew open their BS for the ENTIRE WORLD to see! LOVE IT!

Senator John Kennedy just took a full minute to EXPOSE former special counsel Jack Smith’s alleged Democrat connections. Smith was squirming throughout the entire exchange and REFUSED to answer a single question. Kennedy had him dead to rights, and he knew it. KENNEDY: “When President Trump defeated Secretary Clinton, you were bitterly disappointed, weren’t you?” SMITH: “Uhhh…I don’t recall that…” KENNEDY: “You don’t recall at all? Mrs. Smith was, wasn’t she?” SMITH: “I’m uhhh…I’m not going to talk about my family…” KENNEDY: “Your spouse, it’s certainly her right, I’m not being critical, is an ardent supporter of President and First Lady Obama, is that right?” SMITH: “I’m not going to talk about my family here today. I’m here to talk about my work as special counsel.” KENNEDY: “In fact, she made a glowing documentary about First Lady Obama, didn’t she? That she sold it to Netflix?” [Pause] SMITH: “I’m not going to speak about my family here today…” This is important because Smith’s entire defense has been that he was acting as a nonpartisan special counsel and prosecuting President Trump strictly based on the facts and the law. Kennedy was putting that claim directly under the microscope. And Smith refused to answer.

🚨 Sen. John Kennedy on Jack Smith: "He Ought to Hide His Head in a Bag." Ahead of a question from LindellTV's Alison Steinberg on whether Special Counsel Jack Smith should be compelled to testify under oath, Sen John Kennedy (R-La.) didn't hold back. "I think he's a political zealot. I think he's an ideologue. I think he hates Republicans." Kennedy added: "He exercises power emotionally and immaturely... He's just not the kind of guy you want to be a prosecutor." When Steinberg asked whether Smith should be required to testify under oath, Kennedy answered: "Fine with me. I think it's a swell idea."

Disgraced former special counsel Jack Smith just told the entire Senate Judiciary Committee that he would prosecute President Trump again. SMITH: “If asked whether to prosecute a former president today, based on the same facts, I would do regardless of whether that president was a Republican or a Democrat.” Smith is also claiming that he approached his role as special counsel as a nonpartisan actor, free of political bias. No one’s buying that. Smith is standing by his entire prosecution of Trump. This is the hill he’s chosen to die on.

Jack Smith: I'll give you an example from from my life. I resigned as special counsel. I know I need to get a lawyer because the president has said he wants to jail me for doing my job. And so I retain lawyers, as soon as that becomes public, the president and the justice department target that law firm, and they do it because they don't want me to have counsel. They don't want to have anyone represent me…

Not only does it appear, given his body language and answer, that Jack Smith is lying about taking any oath of office (a requirement as an officer of the court), but that Merrick Garland realized the problem and had Smith take an oath in September 2023. But Smith had already brought 3 criminal indictments against the president BEFORE Sept 2023 (a superseding indictment in docs case) and signed his name as Special Counsel.

Jack Smith was most likely never sworn in as Special Counsel for the United States Department of Justice “It is required (to be sworn in). Terms I heard earlier today were atypical, irregular, no proper procedure. Yet in your opening statement, you said that we followed Justice Department policies, and I would assume you meant the law as well. It strikes me as odd that you don't remember who swore you in, how you were sworn in. It's pretty significant. We all get sworn in here, and I remember every day. You don't remember who swore you in?” “I don't remember the details of it as I sit here today” He then makes some vague statement about his “recollection” is it may have been when he was appointed (clearly lying because he can’t remember a single detail)

Remember, Jack Smith is NOT an independent counsel. He's a special counsel, answerable to AG Merrick Garland and ultimately to Joe Biden above him. Joe Biden made it clear that he wanted Jack Smith to prosecute Trump over J6. What do we have? Jack Smith prosecuting DOnald Trump over J6! This is not a DOJ investigation of a potential criminal. It is an American president prosecuting his chief political rival. Election interference!
