As nice as it is to hear Jack Smith testify before Congress and reaffirm his decision to charge Trump for crimes, it is equally as disappointing to know that Trump was ultimately let off the hook because Merrick Garland waited nearly two years to appoint Smith to prosecute him.

DOHHHH!!
"your brother was not a target of our investigation, and in fact, he likely would have been a witness in our case. Your brother investigated the claims that Donald Trump was making [about the 2020 election.] He found them to be false. He said so on the House floor."

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

You’re an utter disgrace. You have no moral core whatsoever. You’re disgusting.

Like most people, I’ve been watching the Jack Smith hearing this morning.

So far, if Republicans thought putting Jack Smith under oath was finally going to expose some grand conspiracy against Donald Trump, I’m not sure this is going according to plan. They literally titled the hearing “Oversight of Jack Smith’s Abuse of Authority and the Targeting of Republicans and Related Matters.”

For hours I’ve watched Republicans throw one accusation after another at him. Smith answers. They interrupt him. Then they move on to something else. He keeps answering.

Eric Schmitt tried to use a reference to a “Hawks” game to place Smith in Atlanta. Except you should probably get the facts right first, before you spew the lie. The Atlanta Hawks look absolutely nothing like the college WOMEN’s team the Iowa Hawkeyes.

Then there was John Kennedy. The Vanderbilt and Oxford-educated senator brought out the tooth fairy and Easter Bunny, kept interrupting Smith while he tried to answer, and finally told him, “You make me want to throw up in my mouth.”

Very serious stuff.

And Katie Britt deserves at least a Tony nomination for her performance. In fact, at this point, the whole Republican side of this hearing deserves one. There are limits to how much acting talent I’m willing to credit here.

The theatrics may be award-worthy. The arguments, however, are still stupid.

And the hearing isn’t even over yet.

Hard to understand how Republicans thought it was a good idea to call for Jack Smith’s testimony. But they did, and he gave it, straight from the shoulder. An admirable, courageous public servant. We owe him our unswerving support.

Josh Hawley, you're an embarrassment to your state, to yourself, and to all the men you pay to have sex with.

[Democratic Tweeter @WileELiberal]

I think Senator Schmitt (R-MO) is the "dirtbag" who lied to the American public. Jackass.

[Sarah Larchmont @SarahLarchmont]

Thank you, Senator, for your classless behavior in committee today. I’d heard some about you already, but your performance today cemented your status as a blithering idiot. @Eric_Schmitt

[Jim Stewartson, Decelerationist 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇸 @jimstewartson]

Watching these psychotic Nazis spew conspiracy theories at a patriotic American to defend a demented, corrupt rapist who has dragged us into a catastrophic ditch is radicalizing the fuck out of me.

[Hoodlum 🇺🇸 @NotHoodlum]

Senator Dirtbag Schmitt-head, even Rupert Murdoch’s NY Post is mocking his “perjury gotcha” moment. This is the only thing he’ll ever be remembered for.

Any person who had a modicum of decency would apologize, immediately, and then impose some basic accountability for some remarkably negligent staff work. He was trying to set up a perjury trap with fake information. Pitiful.

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

It’s been a rough couple of days for Missouri Republicans.

First, the Supreme Court rejected their unlawfully gerrymandered congressional map three times.

And now this.

Watch Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) completely embarrass himself when questioning Jack Smith.

This MAGA extremist doesn’t know the difference between the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Atlanta Hawks.

Because he’s such a sycophantic conspiracy-peddling hack.

[Jambre 🇺🇲🦅 @Jambreman]

We just witnessed a United States Senator fabricate a lie on national television in an attempt to discredit Jack Smith and to continue to perpetuate Donald Trump's big lie.

If Eric Schmitt has any shame (he doesn't), he'd resign.

He's garbage.

[Paul Freid @PaulFreid5]

An American C**t. Retweet if you agree.

Calling for someone to be disbarred for investigating the people you ran away from because they wanted to hurt you is crazy work.

[Jay Bookman @jaysbookman]

Maybe I'm wrong, Ted -- I'm not a Harvard Law guy and all -- but maybe the reason Democrats didn't show up in Jack Smith's investigation of Jan. 6 is because Democrats weren' trying to overthrow our democracy on behalf of Trump?
Could that explain it?

[CjMtheIrish🍀 @CjMfdt]

Eric Schmitt
From unknown lackluster Senator to the biggest doofus in the United States. 😂

[Tom Celica™ @thetomcelica]

Senator Eric Schmitt isn't just a Dipshit Dirtbag. He's also a KKK white supremacist jack-off

[Jeffrey B. Simon @JeffreyBSimon]

MO voters can decide what to do politically
with @SenEricSchmitt, but MO should #disbar him. His malignant stupidity and/or deliberate disregard for truth that he displayed today in accusing Jack Smith of #perjury disqualifies him from the legal profession. I’ve co-owned a successful law firm for 20 years and I wouldn’t hire Schmitt to answer phones or run copies. https://t.co/cIDWKQqPZn
