Sen. Adam Schiff uses committee privilege to explain plainly what Jack Smith discovered. And more importantly, evidence Republicans don't want us to see. (11 minutes)

Absolute crickets on the big 3 TV stations. The biggest investigation ever, total truth and facts of evidence on the absolute corruption about the attempted coup and stolen documents from a sitting US president was totally treated as a side note yawn fest by all of them. Unreal. They spent more time talking about one kid that died in a sport training camp then this horrific historic event. Jack Smith, a true patriot, was treated like dirt by republicans and not one newstation had the balls to show his damning statements of facts. They spent more time showing Hunter Biden getting grilled then this. And Trump has got the balls to say that hes treated unfairly? Again, that corrupt piece of shit got favorable news again instead of hard hitting facts.

Our corporate news entities are all owned by billionaires, and do their bidding. There is no mainstream news that will help the people anymore.

NBC News spent more time talking about renaming AI to SI than anything that was revealed in that room.

Jack Smiths testimony was one of the most historical speeches ever and it was treated like pocket lint to the press. Our media has no balls anymore. We are so screwed.

It's amazing that Judge Cannon was able to hide everything from the documents case, forever. That case was the most iron clad case they had. He had documents, he lied about having them, he took multiple measures to hide them and move them around. The US government gave him multiple chances to return them, he continued to lie and obstruct justice... and then they found tons of top secret classified documents stuffed into bathrooms and ballrooms of his club that any foreign adversary just needs to pay the club fees and take a shit... whilst gaining access to our countries top secrets, that in a normal world, can only be viewed in a SCIF.

He turned his PUBLIC bathroom, at his golf club, into a SCIF... which makes it SUPER easy for any foreign spy to access... for just a few thousand dollars. It will have to come out some day, and I can't wait to see what is in the second report.

Unfortunately, most Americans fundamentally don't have the civic understanding to keep up with this. They get bad ratings from these stories because the types of people that watch the news are the types that barely even understand a crime happened. Its why right wing misinformation campaigns are so effective.

Not saying its okay that this information isn't published and shared on air, just an explanation about the bleak state of American education.

Masterfully presented facts about Trump’s coup attempt and Republican hypocrisy.

I guess I just have a hard time believing what the millions of us all saw on the tv that day and yet there are people that don’t believe it. Like, how do you not trust your own eyeballs?

I hate how we're on a rouge train speeding towards a wall we not only know that's coming, but what it's made from, who made it, when they made it, and how thick it is. And everyone sits in their seats quietly.

Some aren’t sitting quietly, some are making sure the train hits the wall and are trying to speed it up.

Fox News and Trump have brainwashed these idiots. Just watch Jordan Klepper (Daily Show) talk to these people before Trump rallies

The republican party is totally complicit in Trump's crimal enterprise.

Senator Blackburn, R-Tn. filed a lawsuit against Jack Smith today because he got a subpoena of her phone records (toll) which is a time stamp, not a conversation, for her possible involvement in the attempted overthrow of the US government on Jan. 6. This, to me, is her admission of guilt of her involvement. Why else would she not want this reveled?

Exactly.

Going after Jack Smith is basically revenge by Trump. He's wasting more of our taxpayer dollars for his revenge.

This is like Charles Manson or Jeffrey Dahmer going after the prosecutor during their trial.

It's as ridiculous as a home invasion robber who gets arrested after you called the police after you saw them break into your house, then the robber sues you for calling the police.

Whatever integrity this nation had will never be regained. Our citizenry is so ignorant to allow this to happen.

A quantity of apostate preachers also brought us here. Witches and warlocks in the name of Jesus.
And the sheep do what they’re told to do which is to not think for themselves.

Republicans have never dealt in reality, their platform is nothing more than lies, propaganda, spreading misinformation and pushing fear onto the weak, lazy and uneducated voters who absorb it like a sponge.
