The absolute truth is that the Republicans were not interested in the truth, they were seeking a gotcha moment and it blew up in their faces!!!!

The gist of the Jack Smith hearing was that Republicans will fabricate evidence to entrap opponents and they were upset that Jack Smith had the audacity to investigate Republicans in Congress for possibly abetting Trump's 1/6 insurrection, in other words for doing his job.

I'm sure that Donald Trump will be super, super happy with the gazillion dollars he recently freed up for Paxton's campaign! But he's a forgiving soul, you know, and full of equanimity, so there surely won't be consequence for Paxton over this. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/30/u...

Naturally, when Amy Klobuchar tries to politely point out to Eric Schmitt that the entire premise of his grand conspiracy on Jack Smith might be mistaken because he was confusing the Atlanta Hawks with the Iowa Hawkeyes, Schmitt interrupts and starts yelling at Klobuchar. MAGA!

Maybe I'm missing something, but I still don't get this. Schmitt was saying Smith went to a Hawks game. His evidence was texts that mention "Jack" but not from Smith (and the Hawks does not have a 109 row). Yes, Smith went to a Hawkeyes game, but Schmitt did not present any evidence of that.
