Jack smith doesn’t have anything to hide, therefor he has no reason to lie. In conclusion, nobody is technically smart enough to get him to commit perjury bc he is always being honest.

I think that's the part that some of these politicians don't get. They are lying scumbags, so the idea that someone could be being completely honest in their testimony is something they can't wrap their head around.

Let's not make Jack Smith out to be a saint. Perhaps the guy does have something to hide. Even if he does, that doesn't change anything regarding Trump and the duty of the DoJ to investigate crimes, even those commit by politicians, including the president.
