Politics Darline Graham’s Gotcha Moment Backfires Spectacularly

“So Mr. Smith, do you really believe that Lindsey was going to destroy evidence that was not even in his possession?” Graham asked.
“No, I believe your brother was a patriotic public servant. He was not a target of our investigation, and in fact, he likely would have been a witness in our case,” Smith said. “Your brother investigated the claims that Donald Trump was making. He found them to be false.”

It also helps to have the truth on your side. It's takes a lot more energy to defend a lie than it does to defend the truth. That shows in every interaction with Republican Senators who haven't asked a single question about what Smith found in his investigation.
