The press pretended like he did nothing wrong as he lied, lied, lied

I asked the question nobody in the media has asked for 5 years: Is it possible for a president to lunge at the driver?

Grok:

No, it is not realistically possible for a president to lunge at (or physically reach and attack/grab) the driver in “The Beast”—the current U.S. presidential state car (a custom armored Cadillac limo, often called Cadillac One).

The interior features a thick, multi-layered bulletproof glass partition (divider) that fully separates the rear passenger compartment (where the president sits) from the front driver’s area. This barrier matches the vehicle’s exterior windows in design and protection level—typically described as around 5 inches (130 mm) thick, consisting of laminated layers of glass and polycarbonate for ballistic resistance (capable of stopping high-caliber rounds).

Cassidy Hutchinson lied when she said Trump lunged for the driver on J6. On Thursday—under oath—Jack Smith stood by her story during a congressional hearing.

The media has stood by this unlawfully appointed prosecutor for five years and did so in its reporting of the hearing because DC journalists serve the Deep State, and not the truth.

The New York Times reported, “In his remarks, the former special counsel repeatedly denied that he had acted out of partisan animus and bemoaned the Trump administration’s efforts to go after the president’s perceived enemies.”

Perceived enemies? People who never gave Trump a chance to fulfill his obligations as president are not perceived enemies. They are very real obstructionists who deny his election and two re-elections.

AP quoted Jack S as saying, “No one should be above the law in our country, and the law required that he be held to account. So that is what I did.”

If no one is above the law, why did a federal magistrate block the Justice Department from investigating Don Lemon’s role in an invasion on Sunday of Cities Church in St. Paul by black supremacists hounding the pastor as part of an ICE protest?

The judge’s wife is an assistant attorney general in Keith “Fight ICE” Ellison’s office.

I could give a whole host of other examples but I haven’t the time or room in a newsletter to bother listing them.

Without fact-checking, AP quoted Smith as saying, “My office didn’t spy on anyone.”

But Smith secretly obtained the phone toll records of 8 Republican senators and a few members of the House, which covered January 4-7, 2021.

The worst reporting came from Time, which stated, “Rep. Jim Jordan, an Ohio Republican and the Judiciary Chairman also sought to discredit the testimony of former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, who testified two years ago that Trump did not move quickly to stop the violence at the Capitol on January 6 even as he was made aware of it, and that Trump tried to take control of the wheel of the SUV that he was being driven in that day so he could go to the Capitol.”

You know, for an occupation that always runs fact-checks of Trump, journalists seldom fact-check their own work, which is where fact-checking came from. This comes in an era when Grok and the Internet make it easy to double-check your work.

While the papers failed to inform the public, X did.

HARRIET HAGEMAN: Would you agree Hutchinson’s testimony was hearsay?!

JACK S: Uh.

HAGEMAN: COME ON, you’re an attorney. OF COURSE it was hearsay! And hearsay isn’t admissible in a court of law, is it? Why? Because it is inherently unreliable and the target of a prosecution is not able to cross-examine. Isn’t that correct?

In fact, Mr. Smith, if you had attempted to walk into court with Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony, you would have been THROWN OUT on your EAR! No judge, no legitimate judge would have ever allowed the testimony of Cassidy Hutchinson to be admitted in a court of law, would they?

SMITH: I disagree.

HAGEMAN: Well, we’ve already talked about your record, so I can understand why! I yield back.

Hageman was a trial lawyer for 30 years before running for Congress. If the law allows, Pam Bondi should appoint her as special counsel overseeing the investigation of Jack S.

Rodster (New) tweeted, “Liz Cheney’s replacement grilling Jack Smith over J6 is poetry in motion. The irony is real here.”

Republican Brandon Gill of Texas should be re-named Grill after this exchange.

GILL: We’re not gonna delay like this. How many days after Kevin McCarthy was sworn in as Speaker did you subpoena his records?

SMITH: Uh, I don’t recall, but those two things had nothing to do with one another.

GILL: It was 16 days after becoming the highest ranking Republican in the House of Representatives, you subpoenaed his toll records. Do you agree that that might reasonably be considered a violation of the Speech or Debate Clause?

SMITH: Uh, I do not.

GILL: At the time you, you secured those non-disclosure orders, was Speaker McCarthy a flight risk?

SMITH: He was not.

GILL: He was not. Then why did your non-disclosure order refer to him as a flight risk? It says right here, ‘The court finds reasonable grounds to believe that such disclosure will result in flight from prosecution.’ You were using clearly false information to secure a non-disclosure order to hide from Speaker McCarthy and from the American people the fact that you were spying on his toll records.

We have found Hageman’s right-hand man in her investigation.

As we’ve already reported, the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing to grill former Special Counsel Jack Smith over his investigation into President Donald Trump.

Committee Chair, Republican Rep. Jim Jordan (OH-04) ripped into Smith for weaponizing his investigation, saying it was always about politics. Jordan brought up how Smith got phone records of the then-GOP Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy (CA-20), 16 days after he assumed the position, for the two-month period of time between Election Day, Nov. 2020, to Jan. 7, 2021.

Republican Rep. Brandon Gill (TX-26) then went full bore on that with Smith, noting he was going after the toll records of the highest-ranking Republican at the time.

“You were collecting months’ worth of phone data on the Republican Speaker of the House, leader of the opposition, right after he got sworn in as Speaker, all around the time of a major vote,” Gill stated, saying he thought it was a flagrant violation of the Speech and Debate Clause.

Gill explained how, on top of that, because Smith obtained a non-disclosure order, the fact that he got the records was not allowed to be revealed to McCarthy or the public. Gill questioned Smith on the notation in the non-disclosure order that part of the reason was “flight risk.” Gill hammered him over the contention that the Speaker of the House could be a “flight right” so as to justify the order. Smith tried to say it didn’t only apply to the subscriber of the phone.

But Gill just skewered him, “You were using clearly false information to secure a non-disclosure order to hide from Speaker McCarthy and the American people the fact that you were spying on his toll records!”

McCarthy weighed in, and he was not happy. He pointed out how his location was known 24/7, so it was ridiculous if anyone tried to paint him as a flight risk.

Gill also pointed out that it wasn’t only McCarthy, but also went after the toll records for nine Senators and one House Representative in May of 2023, and that those also had non-disclosure orders.

Jack Smith Defends His Indefensible Political Witch-Hunt; Even CNN’s Legal Analyst Admits Smith Is Guilty

C3 @C_3C_3Want your blood to boil?

The Jack Smith Investigation cost taxpayers over $35 million.

$35,000,000

All based on a scam.

Targeting enemies.

With 65% of that $35million paying their salaries.

Jack and his team got rich for sedition.

Brandon Gill grilled Jack Smith on three points:

1, why he had sought the phone records of the incoming Speaker of the House, extending back a year, when he had just become speaker 16 days earlier. This makes it look very much look like a purely political witch-hunt, as Johnson did not have power to run interference for Trump before hand.

2, why he sought these phone records in defiance of a warning from a Biden attorney that doing so would be a violation of the Speech and Debate Clause. (A clause which says that no member of Congress shall be subject to legal process for any statement they make in Congress (later extended to cover any statement they make outside of Congress, so long as it’s part of their work as a congressman.)

3, why he claimed that Mike Johnson was a “flight risk” when he told Johnson’s phone company to hide the fact that his records had been granted to a third party. Jack Smith claimed that keeping this secret was necessary to make sure that Johnson did not take flight from prosecution.

He now admits that Johnson was no flight risk.

Jack Smith is asking to have questions re-asked because each congresman only has five minutes total time, and he wants to waste as much Republican time as possible endlessly repeating and clarifying questions.

GILL: “How many days after Kevin McCarthy was sworn in as Speaker did you subpoena his records?SMITH: “Uh, I don’t recall, but those two things had nothing to do with one another.”

GILL: “It was 16 days after becoming the highest ranking Republican in the House of Representatives, you subpoenaed his toll records. Do you agree that that might reasonably be considered a violation of the Speech or Debate Clause?”

SMITH: “Uh, I do not”

GILL: “At the time you, you secured those non-disclosure orders, was Speaker McCarthy a flight risk?”

SMITH: “He was not.”

GILL: “He was not. Then why did your non-disclosure order refer to him as a flight risk? It says right here, ‘The court finds reasonable grounds to believe that such disclosure will result in flight from prosecution.’ You were using clearly false information to secure a non-disclosure order to hide from Speaker McCarthy and from the American people the fact that you were spying on his toll records.”

Jack Smith on why he attempted to bring Trump to trial without giving him sufficient time to read the millions of pages of documents disclosed to him: Gee I was just looking out for Trump’s right to a speedy trial. I’m a hero!

President Donald Trump is going on the offensive after Special Counsel Jack Smith faced a grilling from House lawmakers over his prosecution efforts against the 45th president. Trump is now calling for Smith himself to be prosecuted, accusing the controversial prosecutor of perjury and political targeting.

“Based on his testimony today, there is no question that Deranged Jack Smith should be prosecuted for his actions,” Trump declared on Truth Social. “He destroyed the lives of many innocent people, which has been his history as a prosecutor. At a minimum, he committed large scale perjury!”

Smith, who was appointed by the Biden administration to investigate Trump’s role in the January 6 Capitol riot and his handling of classified documents, found himself in the hot seat Thursday during a House Judiciary Committee hearing. Lawmakers questioned whether Smith’s pursuit of charges against Trump just months before the 2024 election was politically motivated.

The scope of Smith’s investigation raised eyebrows. According to reports and committee statements, Smith subpoenaed Trump’s personal phone records and even obtained toll records of Republican lawmakers and allies — a move the Judiciary Committee claims disregarded constitutional protections.

“Smith chose to target President Trump, and only President Trump, in his electors case—setting aside other targets so that he could secure an indictment of President Trump in advance of the election,” the Committee stated. The indictment was widely seen as an attempt to damage Trump’s momentum heading into the 2024 race.

But the effort backfired. Trump not only fought through the charges — he went on to defeat Vice President Kamala Harris in a landslide, with four felony charges quietly dropped in the aftermath.

“It was a political hijacking, and a low point in the History of our Country that such a thing could have happened, and yet, I persevered, against all odds, and WON,” Trump said when the charges were dismissed.

A House hearing with former Trump special counsel Jack Smith was disrupted Thursday when a former Trump-hating police officer who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6 confronted a man who strongly believes the 2020 election was rigged. Somehow, it’s a crime to believe that if you are on the right.

Radical former D.C. Metropolitan Police officer Michael Fanone repeatedly told Ivan Raiklin to “go f*ck yourself” at the hearing, where the two were both in attendance as audience members.

“You’re a traitor to this f*cking country,” Fanone also told Raiklin, getting close enough that two of his former law enforcement colleagues had to restrain him.

Fanone puts on performances for the left-wing media.

The altercation occurred during a recess in the Judiciary Committee’s hearing, with Raiklin starting off the interaction by trying to shake Fanone’s hand.

Fanone repeatedly cursed at Raiklin and told him not to “pretend” that they are on good terms, Raiklin responded, “Why do you have to lose your cool like that?”

“This guy has threatened my family, threatened my children. Threatened to rape my children … you sick bastard,” Fanone told Raiklin as people gathered around the two men.

Raiklin denied those claims and raised the possibility of suing Fanone for defamation in a post on X.

Look at the screenshot of his tee. He’s a radical leftist.

It is the first time we heard of Ivan Raiklin threatening Fanone and his children. Raiklin isn’t the kind of person to threaten raping children.

If this is true, why didn’t Fanone file charges or sue? Does Fanone seem like the kind of person who would let that go?

Fanone was one of several law enforcement officers who testified to the Jan. 6 Select Committee in 2021 about his experience defending the Capitol from rioters earlier that year. He made claims of being beaten.

Mr. Fanone probably needs some serious mental help.

Jim Jordan believes at least twelve GOP Lawmakers were spied on by Jack Smith and he intends to go forward with the investigation.

It’s possible there were even more.

Republican voters want to see action. They are tired of waiting for investigations and hearings.

That’s what GOP voters are scared of.

It does feel pretty major and like people need to pay.

GOP Voters want a little less talk and a lot more action.
