After Eric Schmitt lied and was corrected at the Jack Smith hearing, the NY Times called it a “misunderstanding.” This might be fair if Schmitt had a record of honesty (he doesn’t) and if Schmitt didn’t repeat the same lie after the hearing (he did). What the hell is the NY Times doing?

Devlin Barrett and Charlie Savage
Reporting from Washington
Jack Smith, who as special counsel twice charged Donald J. Trump with criminal offenses after his first term, defended his actions in testimony before Congress on Tuesday, as a Republican senator accused him of perjury based on what appeared to be the lawmaker’s misunderstanding about a basketball game involving the University of Iowa Hawkeyes.

Funniest part to me is Jack Smith using 110% of his lawyer brain. He avoids making the connection himself; he doesn't even say "Hawkeyes," he just says "Iowa." He knows it's better to let everyone figure it out on their own. He also knows from Klobuchar's grin that she'll dunk it for him.

Trump's panicking about the widespread revulsion against his Arch, and is trying to cloak it in national security to jam it through or go around the normal approval process. It's even more important to stop it now, as a test case of not letting him use "national security" to justify illegal acts.

Since Trump claims that it was “the military” that requested to use the arch to store sniper ammo & drones, these are the times when a Democratic majority could bring Gen. Dan Caine before Congress to find out from him if that is true & why. As usual, Republicans will do nothing.

"I haven’t seen the film" Two reviews of the new "NAZA" documentary that say a lot about the difference between credible opinion writing & partisan propaganda. The NYT columnist actually saw the movie, the one from Bari Weiss' 'free press' did not but wrote about it in detail anyway.

New York Times Opinion
@nytopinion.nytimes.com
Part of what makes the new documentary “NAZA” so devastating, our columnist Michelle Goldberg writes, “is the way it shows that mere indifference to civilian deaths can shade into deliberate mass killing.”
Opinion | Israel Is Going to War Against a Documentary
It’s hard to tell whether Israelis are enraged by “NAZA” because they think it’s full of lies, or because they know or fear it’s true.

There may yet be hard truths in ‘NAZA,’ including evidence of Israel’s systemic failures. But the reporting around it treats flimsy claims as proof of criminality, writes Haviv Rettig Gur.
