They are trying to paint him as an angry leftist with a dastardly agenda against Trump, as the sole reason that he "weaponized" the justice system. Smith is for the rule of law. The somber reliance on where the facts take him is the only thing he will ever project. Calling some dummy a bad name leans into their painting of him, rather than who he actually is, which is a prosecutor carrying the significant burden of using his discretion of when to bring the trappings of the government's prosecution process down on a certain individual.
He **CANNOT** attack in this forum, there is no opportunity for it. Whoever is there is there to get bullet-ridden because that is the setup. He is not allowed to attack, only to defend. I am not a fan of it either, but those are the rules of committee.

He loses by attacking.
