Klobuchar has Schmitt dead to rights: "The game in fact was in Maryland. For a senator to have false information & imply, based on confusion about name of a team, that you were in another city & somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia & call you a 'dirtbag' deserves an apology"

holy shit -- turns out Jack Smith went to a Hawkeyes game in Maryland but Schmitt's team is so reckless they concocted a conspiracy theory that Smith was actually in Atlanta seeing a Hawks game and colluding with Fani Willis. Klobuchar points out to Schmitt, "you have your teams wrong."

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

That Senator knew exactly what he was doing. He knew that accusation was wrong. But the Republican propaganda machinery is built to create a 'moment' then rightwing influencers/Fox would take clips of it and run with it to potentially smear Jack Smith, calling him a dirtbag. That is their MO.

Reposting this with alt text: Near as I can tell, you can't see a home Atlanta Hawks game from section 109 row 1 - the rows in section 109 are lettered not numbered. Not the case for the DC-area UMD Terps, who Catlin Clark put 38 on during the Feb 3 game. Their 109 has numbered rows.

Not for nothing, but UMD's Xfinity center does indeed have a section scheme where 109 row 1 would have been pretty great seats. Anyway, that's a valid UMD seating number.

Smith's own report says it plainly, if Trump hadn't won reelection, the evidence was enough to convict and sustain that conviction at trial. He didn't escape the law, he outran the clock. Meanwhile the guy pushing seashell photo charges against Comey is the one calling Smith the criminal.

Jack Smith told the Senate that two grand juries found proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump tried to steal the 2020 election, and he'd bring the same charges today regardless of party. Grassley still chairs the hearing. The evidence didn't disappear; only the will to act on it did.

The same, um, leftist who attempted to cast doubt on the Bucha massacre? That Michael Tracey? foreignpolicy.com/2022/04/12/r...
In this case, we have photographs, satellite images, drone footage, eyewitness accounts, and even radio chatter from Russian forces.

That radio chatter, heard by Der Spiegel, suggests the Wagner Group may have been on the ground in Bucha, as suggested by the cryptic Telegram posts. The group has been accused of brutal war crimes against unarmed civilians in Syria and farther afield.

That is apparently not enough for recently reelected Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who was criticized by his allies in Poland for refusing to accept that Russia perpetrated the killings.

Despite Russia’s flimsy defense, some Westerners have nevertheless chosen to believe it. Writer Michael Tracey tweeted to his 240,000 followers that the photos were “war propaganda” and cast doubt on their authenticity. Conspiracy site Infowars ran breathless coverage touting information, largely cribbed from those pro-Russian Telegram channels, that “exposes the truth” of what happened in Bucha.

To cast doubt on Russia’s culpability, Infowars turned to de la Broc—who had suddenly ditched his appeal to “face the truth” and begun insisting that the photographic evidence was “obviously staged.”

That’s the problem with trying to respond to such claims. The Russian disinformation operation is just that: an operation. Its assault on the truth is tactical. Switching from a moral position to shameless lying is both necessary and expected. The point isn’t to convince the world that these war crimes didn’t happen: The objective is to sow just enough doubt to stymie action.
