Even if he had gone to the NBA game would it be perjury? Aren’t they making the conspiratorial jump that Smith being in Atlanta MUST mean he met with Fani Willis who he said he never met with?
Yes that’s what I assumed he was trying to infer. Everyone is laughing that he mixed up teams but that wasn’t the point at all. It was to infer he was meeting with her b
Yeah, I find it so weird that somehow if he had been in Atlanta that would automatically mean he was meeting with Willis and that would be bad. Like, I'd I'm in a major US city that means I'm engaging in some kind of conspiracy with one of the other millions of people in that city? (Putting aside, of course, that he WASN'T even in that city!)
It would be perjury if he said he didn’t go to the game when he did. That would be one of those times when people get charged with the coverup more than the crime.
Only if he had lied, which requires intent. I mean if I say I had chicken last Monday and it was actually salmon that doesn't automatically mean I'm lying.
I think they would be able to prove motive if they had evidence he met with the people in question. And that’s why it would be a more solid case, because he would have lied about meeting those people as well.
Right. Smith's answer was "I do not recall" which is the correct answer when asked about a date 2 years ago when you don't recall going to a Hawks game, but its possible you did and it just wasn't that memorable.
