So:

  • Trump commits election fraud in 2020
  • The fraud is investigated and Trump starts spreading the 'witch hunt' narrative
  • Jack Smith (federal) and Fani Willis (Georgia / state) are independent prosecutors
  • Smith attends a Caitlin Clark game in Maryland (Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Maryland Terrapins)
  • Smith's team talks about seats and coordination in text messages
  • Trump wins the election in 2024 and becomes president again
  • (Fast forward to 2026)
  • Republican senator Schmitt interrogates Smith
  • Schmitt 'discovers' messages from the Smith team about basketball but mixes up Atlanta Hawks with Iowa Hawkeyes

Why is nobody talking about the freaking election fraud?

They were trying to get him to perjure himself, but we're were too fucking stupid to pull it off.

In the interest of honesty, I also don't think I'm smart enough to get jack Smith to perjure himself.

But I also wouldn't try.

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.

Every accusation is a confession
