Jack Smith walked into the Senate, defended his prosecutions, rejected claims that his work was politically motivated, and refused to retreat under threats of prosecution. The hearing became a battle over evidence, power, accountability, and who gets to investigate whom. Smith for the WIN! #Pinks

Well done to Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar for calling out a despicable fascist republican and exposing his propaganda and let it blow up all in his face on live TV. It was a beautiful humiliation.

Jack Smith made it crystal clear that his investigation was sound and lawful, that the president had committed crimes and that the GOP attacks on him were the actual weaponization of our justice system. He showed courage and moral clarity and continues to be one of the heroes of this moment.
