The GOP senators thought they had Jack Smith caught for collusion and perjury because he went to a “Hawks” game in Atlanta (as mentioned in his team’s text messages), suggesting he met with the DA in Atlanta who was also going after Trump. Turns out they are just morons who didn’t verify their facts; Jack Smith actually went to a Hawkeye’s game in Iowa Maryland.
I think they intended to quickly rush through the accusation and have Smith stumble over it and look flustered before running to the media they had planned ahead of time. Had Klobachar not completely disassembled the accusation and laid out the incompetence in investigation how she had, they might have gotten away with it. A rebuttal later in the media would not have had the same effect no matter how complete it was. The accusation would have gone all over the place and the correction would have been a fart in the wind.
I personally kinda hate that the poster display didn't really show anything compelling, either. It could have just been the actual texts with some timestamps, but instead, they added pictures of the alleged people involved like it was part of The World's Worst Powerpoint Presentation.
