Schiff is up. Apologizes to Jack Smith. “My colleagues have attacked you, but NONE of them have tried to deny what happened on January 6th. They attack you because they don’t want to address the facts. The Barr DoJ sought toll records without a peep from my colleagues.” 1/

My office has handled a lot of sexual harassment cases. “Her shirt was too tight” “She drank too much” “Why did she put herself in that position” “She was asking for it.” No. No. No. No. It’s not HER job to be on DEFCON 5 at all times. It’s HIS job not to be a predator. ~ Attorney Ryan

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

The year before Election 2024, I was helping run UCLA’s DEI Office in LA—and siccing my AuDHD savant 🧠 on analyzing not just Project 2025’s substance, but its impact on my nation. I predicted (not really a prediction) all these horrors. Most accused me of trying to scare ppl into voting for Harris.

Darline Graham should not be on a committee she knows NOTHING ABOUT. She was given the script to read. Jack Smith did his job. He is the only one in this stupid hearing telling the truth. Darline is getting hammered. She said he's trying to hurt 'my brother'. Jack Smith SAID LINDSEY WAS A HERO.
