I am 1.25 hrs into the hearing. I'm going to use what Republicans say to us about taking all our data - "If you didn't do anything wrong, what do you have to worry about?"
You'd think Smith having their records would clear their names if they did nothing wrong.
Based on the reactions of Senators Kennedy, Grassley, and Cruz, it seems they have a lot to worry about. Smith got the phone records for 44 senators that Trump talked to that day. And Kennedy, Grassley and Cruz were on the list. Same with donors. Same with Turning Point USA. Why does this sound like a conspiracy...oh wait! My conspiracy theory - if the Senate convicted and removed Trump after Jan 6th, they would have been investigated and put in prison. They can't NOT be in power - prison!
These videos are hard to watch. Their incompetence is so blaring! 🤦🏽♀️ Was Ted Cruz acting for his orange leader? The horrible theatrics of Senator Cruz. Senator Eric Schmitt is such a dirtbag. Calling Jack Smith a dirtbag! When he himself is a dumb ass. 😡
So forget fixing everything. Fix the part where lying and abusing power cost nothing. This right here! You nailed it Michelle! And BTW, Ted Cruz’s self righteousness makes me want to 🤮
There is a saying - "What do you call a failed coup attempt when the perpetrators are treated with kid gloves?. Answer: Practice"
Then there is the legendary Mark Twain quote "History doesn't repeat but it often rhymes".
Well Hitler tried to overthrow the German government in 1923 in the Beer Hall Putsch, got a sweetheart prison deal and was in power 10 years later. Hugo Chavez tried to overthrow the Venezuelan government as low-level army officer, was treated gingerly, and a few years later, he was elected and became a dictator whose regime is still in power.
Gee folks, what are we seeing now, hmmmm????
The fact of the matter was the Senate GOP, Merrick Garland, Joe Biden, establishment Democrats, and even a lot of supposed progressives candy-assed their way out of holding dump accountable from his obvious criminality and dare I say it treason. I have no doubt we'll get out of this mess, but the costs will be extremely high and re-establishing the rule of law, ethics, and decency will require a massive effort on everyone's part going forward,
As soon as Jack Smith entered the room he doubled the amounts of Ethics and Integrity!
What happened from there was a comedy of errors in Republicans, and a short master-class by Senator Amy Klobuchar!

In 2028 the Democrat president needs to appoint Jack Smith as attorney general. Ted Cruz's head might explode.
🤣🤣

Of course. Cruz has no spine.
Reformation, not restoration.
Brilliant hearing!!! Thank you, Michelle :)) Just shared on bsky.
