🔥JACK SMITH: "Trump engaged in serious crimes against 🇺🇸- a criminal scheme to prevent a lawful transfer of power... the rule of law faces challenges unlike any we've experienced. I won't be silenced by threats of prosecution. While fear may be contagious, courage is as well."

this gaffe should follow Eric Schmitt around for the rest of his political life (Jack Smith was actually in Maryland at a HAWKEYES game, not in Atlanta colluding with Fani Willis as Schmitt alleged) (Win McNamee/Getty)

Sen. Eric Schmitt was so overzealous to try and get Jack Smith, a good and honest man who has done great work, that Schmitt embarrassed himself by accusing Smith of going to the wrong basketball game. You can't make this stuff up. And right wing media will pretend it never happened.

What did we learn today? That Jack Smith is a Caitlin Clack fan and that Senator Eric Schmitt is a dirtbag! The senator mistook the Atlanta Hawks for the Iowa Hawkeyes and tried to accuse Jack Smith of perjury. Epic fail. I'm still a fan of Jack Smith. A real American patriot. 🇺🇸

Remember my fellow Americans - this is just from one of 50 states. Most of them had lives and worked peacefully in USA for years or decades, BEFORE Trump/Miller decided it was some major crime; many built lives and businesses here via TPP; most with families & children now orphaned.

Adam Hoffman was convicted of raping his friend's young son. He should be in jail, but Paxton used his power to get him on a misdemeanor. That means he only served for 60 days, didn't have to register as a sex offender in Texas, and then left the state.
