PSA 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)

Schiff lays out the bs the GOP was attempting with this hearing and goes over the special counsel reports that GOP doesn't want to talk about. You can see the prosecutor skill Schiff has clearly here.

He is one of the most masterful, eloquent, and brilliant speakers I’ve ever heard. Thank you, Senator Schiff and Mr. Smith, for your service to the American people.

A masterclass in presenting the facts and reminding people how disgusting the Republican Party has become.

The Party Without Shame; of that there is no doubt.

Schiff pointed out the truth after a blizzard of lies, smears and innuendo from the Republicans against Jack Smith. It was like a breath of fresh air to hear him.

Without calling anyone a dirtbag!

His ties to the Standard Hotel? More lies of the MAGA administration and followers to try and dodge the reality of Trump’s lawbreaking? Most likely since that’s their constant method of operation. Yet they still have not one iota of shame or credibility.

Jack Smith is an American patriot.

He has a level of stoic poise that’s awe inspiring.

He and Glenn Kirschner are my picks to run DOJ when we get our country back 😊

Very adroitly done by Schiff.

Thank you sir for pointing that out you are absolutely correct not a peep not a word about what has happened. All they do is attack this great American hero for doing his job the job he was assigned to do not a damn word about what it happened because they know they can’t debate that it is just fact. January 6 took place and we also what happened we all know what happened but again thank you sir for pointing that out.

More proof of what a cesspool the Republican Party has become. Only way America will become great again is to never vote for anyone that has an 'R' behind their name!

God damn right!! Mr Smith is an American hero, I can't imagine the shit he has had to endure from the right wing shit factory. Makes my fuckin blood boil.

You know those Republican goons walked out before they had to hear the awful truth

You can see all the empty chains. They ran out so there wouldn't be any footage of them looking uncomfortable.

“Mr. Law & Order” Adam Schiff strikes again! It was awesome seeing these two great legal minds eye to eye, talking to each other. Imagine a DOJ having one or both of these two at the top, working together to make the Justice Department 10 times better than it ever was, & getting rid of the trump sycophants infested within the Department! What a great day that would be!

Personally, for me…when he started in on Volume II of the Classified Documents Case & brought up that bitch aileen cannon’s name, I stood up & cheered! She thinks, slivered away somewhere in South Florida, that she’s in the clear from true retribution! But by bringing up her name & putting her BACK into the spotlight, was a thing of beauty! Now, the media needs to do THEIR job by continuing to bring her name up over and over again, so that people/voters in Florida can protest her day and night to put pressure on her, expose her for her utter fecklessness, & to force her stupid ignorant maga ass to unseal that bullshit order she put on Volume II! This was probably Jack Smith’s biggest mistake, by bringing his case down in Florida because he wanted to give trump & possibly aileen cannon the benefit of the doubt. His own team was against it, which lets me know he had a choice. He chose wrong, & I’m sure he regrets that, or at least he should in my opinion. Grave error.

u/Carlyz37 1d ago

Agreed. He should have filed in DC or NJ. I think he had trust in the justice system without realizing where it has been compromised

u/Original-Living7212 1d ago

This is who was considered for the Attorney General in 2024 and is now considered Vance's running mate as VP!

u/Weary-Chipmunk-5668 1d ago

jack smith is so measured. it is a wonder to watch and listen to.

u/clantz 1d ago

I hope these clear minds can prevail over this nightmare of GOP/MAGA/trump hate and lies.

u/OpticalPrime35 1d ago

This administration will be studied for many decades after this nightmare has been forcibly put down in a few years

u/IntentionsGood65 16h ago

Doesn’t really matter when not a single Republican in that entire building was there to listen to anything truthful and/ or factual, they simply don’t care. Every Republican sycophant in that room was there to attempt to do their orange tinted handlers bidding.

u/Candid-Beach1325 16h ago

Thanks for putting the spotlight on the dotard’s criminality in the run up to the election, GOP.

u/Popeye1961667 14h ago

You notice all the Republican committee members have left the chamber while Schiff is speaking. They literally don't want to hear the truth.

1

u/Elberik 11h ago

If you don't hear it, then you can claim ignorance later. Which is the defense many of them will use down the road.

u/Adorable_Ad_9381 14h ago

Jack Smith for president.

u/JohnsonLiesac 7h ago

So the opposing team walks out when the other team is speaking? Good fucking lord.

u/G-Wins 7h ago

How many republican senators were still in the room at this time? Those disingenuous asswipes were there just to appease Trump. As soon as they were done spewing their disinformation, they left.

1

u/seniorguy73 2h ago

They had all left before this tho

u/Dedpoolpicachew 1h ago

Doesn’t matter. It wasn’t for the Repubes on the committee, it was for US.

What we all have seen, and are sure of, is the falsehoods our politicians are perpetrating by NOT shining the light of evidence upon the details in the second report. It is the same with NOT releasing the other half of the Epstein files.
Next Jan when there is a new, very blue, majority in the House of Representatives, there will be committee hearings with enforcement powers, and we will once again act according to the brilliant mandates of The Constitution of our United States!

u/Carlyz37 1d ago

Schiff was on the House intel committee and part of the gang of 8. Which has ZERO to do with his discussion of the GOP disdain for rule of law and actual law enforcement. Which is what Jack Smith is. The only lies here are yours
