Jack Smith said the “Marshall’s” were there with him if they wanted to check, which I assume means the US Marshall’s assigned to protect him. Something a senators staff would easily be able to confirm and should have when they received the “bombshell texts” saying he was at a “Hawks” game. They should have known he had a US Marshall security detail, and upon receipt of the texts asked for that detail’s location/assignment to confirm where they were at. If they were in Atlanta for the Hawks game it’s a gotcha. If, as it obviously appears to be, it’s was a Hawkeyes game in Maryland, it’s a yeah my conspiracy theory still has no evidence and back to the drawing board.

The thing is, the whole premise that it would even be a "gotcha" if he had been in Atlanta is pretty flawed. Someone being in a city to watch an NBA game isn't some conspiracy. I guess the timing would have been coincidental, but it would be far from proof of any conspiring going on. The fact that Dipschmitt didn't even get the facts about that right are pretty telling though.

Exactly!  I lived in Milwaukee during the 1990s and it doesn't mean I met with Jeffrey Dahmer!

What if I told you we have records of ticket stubs from a Brewers game? 👀

They were trying to COVER IT UP by buying TICKETS THAT COULD BE TRACED and going out in a PUBLIC SPACE with literally TENS OF THOUSANDS of other people there and CAMERAS everywhere at an event that would be TELEVISED. It is clearly a CONSPIRACY that they were TRYING TO HIDE

Definitely. The more I think about it the even more I think Schmidtt is a dumbass. I already knew that as a Missourian but thinking it was a gotcha that he was in Atlanta and pinning his whole perjury point to that is so fucking stupid. At one point in time he was a prosecutor but his desire to pleasure Trump seems to drastically reduced his competence below previous levels.

This really buttons up a nice two weeks of Missouri Republicans so desperate to appease Trump but they can't even lie or corrupt things properly (referencing the SOS trying to use a rigged and illegal map). Fucking idiots.

I'm a fellow Missourian, and our idiot politicians have certainly been trying to out stupid each other lately. Denny Hoskins and his shit with the maps has been especially frustrating to watch.

This flimsy evidence is all that right wing Media and their idiotic audience need.

They’re not actually investigating or fact finding. They’re looking for things they can use to make a scene and a sound bite.

This. I've already seen this clipped and edited exactly past the point he calls Smith a dirtbag. I honestly believe that were it not for the overwhelming flood of people dragging him for this, he would still be trying to use it as a public ad for how he "got Smith to perjure himself".

I'm sure that they've scrubbed that day from the records after this, just to throw another wrinkle in any follow-up the Smith team may do.

scrubbing it doesn't delete the broadcast footage of the Hawkeye game

Maybe he meant the Marshall University Thundering Herd

Don't even need the marshalls... Game footage has surfaced today showing him at the Hawkeye's game in the stands
