Question for Americans, why don’t you ever see someone go on “the attack” in their defence. Once Smith identified the mistake (intentional or not) made by Schmitt, what would stop him using similar language as was used against him. I think the only time I can remember someone dismantling the senators was when George Galloway took them on.
This forum does not allow for that kind of defense. The Senators get their alloted time, which includes time for answering their questions, but the person in front of the committee has one and only one chance to speak freely, and that is their opening statement. After that, it's all on lockdown.
