That cocky, misplaced look of smug success on Senator Eric Schmitt’s face—moments before everything came crashing down around him because he’s so carelessly incompetent.

Continuing to Rob us of Our Money! The Trump Organization filed for trademark protection of "Trump TV" so that the government would have to PAY him to use the channel he just created. Miraculously, Trump has found yet another way to steal from the American people.

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

"Fled to the Hague" is an interesting way of phrasing "Led a successful war crimes prosecution." But then, Schmitt doesn't know that there are multiple teams called Hawks in America.

This may be the cleanest self-own of the hearing. Schmitt built a perjury accusation around Smith supposedly being in Atlanta for a Hawks game—then it turns out the reference was to the Iowa Hawkeyes. Maybe check the “bombshell evidence” before accusing someone of a felony.
