At no point during Senate Republicans speeches & questioning of Jack Smith did a single Republican Senator deny Donald J Trump committed sedition, treason, espionage, breach of national security, conspired to overturn a election, conspired to assault, injure or kill Congress & VP. Think about that

After a week delay, Jack Smith will be appearing tomorrow before the Senate Judiciary Committee, where the majority no doubt lies in wait w/ obtuse, counterfactual questions designed to convert his 100% righteous prosecutions into the pursuit of political vendettas. Expect Smith to keep his cool.

These people make Marie Antoinette look connected to the people and empathetic by comparison. They laugh at what their own voters are going through as they continue to mock them as they enrich themselves and have a great time.

It’s not “an oil deal with Venezuela.” It’s Trump kidnapping an autocrat, refusing to hold elections, then leaving the remainder of the regime in place but only if they allow him to pillage their natural resources, which they are doing to remain in power oppressing the people.
