Which is worse? That Schmitt incorrectly accused Jack Smith of perjury and conspiring somehow with a state AG, or that he made that accusation knowing no effort had been made to verify its accuracy.

Hysterical. Republican is foaming at the mouth, excited that he thinks he has caught special-prosecutor Smith in perjury when, in fact, his whole line of inquiry is based on him confusing the NBA "Hawks" with college "Hawkeyes" that played in a different city and state. Vile & comically incompetent.
