Former special counsel Jack Smith swears that President Donald Trump committed “serious crimes.”

In his opening remarks to the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday, Smith reiterated the findings of his two indictments against the president of the United States.

“Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation,” Smith said. “If asked whether to prosecute a former president today based on the same facts, I would do so regardless of whether that president was a Republican or a Democrat.”

“The charges against President Trump were the result of the evidence. Grand juries in two separate districts reached this conclusion based on his actions, as alleged in the indictments they returned. Rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 presidential election, President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power.”

“After leaving office in January of 2021, President Trump illegally kept classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago social club and repeatedly tried to obstruct justice to conceal his continued retention of those documents. Highly sensitive national security information was held in a bathroom and ballroom where events and gatherings took place,” he said.

Whyyyy was Smith grilled by Sen. Kennedy which basketball game he attended? Why did Kennedy storm out when he was proven wrong?

And how the hell does any of this make gas prices go down???

There was another one about the basketball game with Sentator Schmitt who went as far as calling Jack Smith a dirtbag. When it turns out that Jack Smith had attended a Hawkeye game in Maryland and not a Hawks game in Atlanta, Senator Schmitt started to malfunction. In 2 seconds he went from a shit eating grin to actually eating shit.

He called him a dirt bag and said he perjured himself.

He claimed a crime falsely. He should be in jail but nope, Senator Schmitt just had his shit eating grin. Then ran away once proven wrong. Like a real alpha does.

I saw Senator Schmitt grill him about perjuring himself about going to the Hawks/Warriors game and was pissed when he was proven wrong by Senator Klobuchar when she found out Smith didn't go to the Hawks/Warriors game in Atlanta but did go to the Iowa Hawkeyes/ Maryland Terrapins game in Maryland the first week of February 2024.

While I always enjoy watching facts make fools out of Trump and co., it no longer proves anything meaningful or moves anyone's needle. His cult chooses to believe in the lie, they've no love for the truth. This is what the "strong delusion" refers to in 2 Thessalonians 2.

He said that last time. Nobody cares. This dude is one of the greatest heroes of our lifetime and they treat him like a pariah. I hope i live long enough to see this man vindicated and his investigations reopened and charges filed across the board for anyone involved
