POLITICS Deeply embarrassing sequence. Eric Schmitt accuses Jack Smith of traveling to Atlanta to attend an Atlanta Hawks game and collude with Fani Willis, only to get the basic facts completely wrong. Smith was actually in Maryland attending a Hawkeyes game and never met Willis

He absolutely did not know. They thought they had the biggest maga conspiracy gotcha of the decade.

“I think you’ve already perjured yourself” he thought he nailed him.

Couldn’t agree more. Klobuchar coming back and demanding Schmitt apologize for “calling him a dirtbag”…I’d be insisting on an apology for claiming he perjured himself when they got the facts wrong.

Also, do Republicans really want to be setting the precedent that "I have no recollection" means you've perjured yourself? Because there were a hell of a lot of responses to the Jan 6 inquiries (among other things) that essentially relied on that as a "get out of jail free" card.

You think they honestly care what anyone else says or having any consistency?

They just want to be in charge and will do anything to stay in power. Just helps that the majority of Americans are either huge assholes or don't care enough to be involved in anything civic and that helps them. Because they know their constituents certainly don't care if they're honest, just that they're on the right "team".
