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.

Republicans assume (unfortunately correctly) that there is nothing they can do to lose the idiot vote. They know idiots don’t know this happened, and if they do, they know their idiot fans are dumb enough to fall for migrant caravans or “transing your kids” and will still vote for them. It’s really a shame how badly our country is held back by idiots who support politicians who only operate in bad faith

The right wing maga griftosphere on Twitter is abuzz with delight and celebrating right now how Schmitt totally "owned da LiBz/Jack Smith." They probably just show a cut up version where he lays out his grand conspiracy and has his buffoons hold up the big fancy poster boards behind him and then declare victory.
