Jack Smith testified at a closed-door hearing today with members of the House Judiciary Committee.

Lots of great excerpts here by Jack Smith, plus a stunning statement by Hse Rep (& Cmte Ranking Member) Jamie Raskin.

I’ve also posted an NYT article in my next post…more details.
Former special counsel Jack Smith tells a congressional committee that his team found "proof beyond a reasonable doubt” that President Trump engaged in a “criminal scheme” to overturn the results of the 2020 election, according to portions of his opening statement obtained by NBC News.

FBI shakeup on the horizon-

Patel (FBI Dir)& Bongino (FBI Dep Dir) are a collective ‘hot mess’. Neither shld be holding these positions.

Truth be told, I don’t think Bongino ever liked the job. He likes the title & the cosplay. IMO, he prefers podcasting. Bye Dan.

Mike Johnson would hate for you to know that nearly 40% of his district is on Medicaid.

Or that 1.6 million Louisianans — about 35% of the state — rely on it.

It would be terrible if this information went viral. ~GCN

Please read this 💙-warming tribute to Admiral Holsey by Harry Litman.

You may recall tht the admiral resigned rather than carry out illegal orders from Def Sec Pete Hegseth.

It’s a shame that we’re losing so mny great & talented ppl. I have faith tht we’ll see them again in better days.
Adm Holsey retires today.

"It’s an almost incredibly honorable course of conduct for Holsey to have declined to capitulate to Hegseth’s bullying & instead to honor his oath to the Constitution by quietly giving up the job most Naval officers can only dream about."

This is the behavior of a mob boss, but fully expected from him. He gets away with it, because elected enablers let him. My advice to Indiana legislators is simple. Don't let this small man, who is afraid of voters, get away with this. DON'T CHANGE THE MAPS!!!

Yet, another epi of “How Stupid I Was To Vote For Trump **3** Times”

In NC, a lumber biz built over 5 generations (a 95-yr old sawmill biz) has shut down due to Trump’s tariffs.

This is happening many times over across the country.

Keep an 👁️ on Indiana State Sen Greg Walker (R).

He is completely fed up with DJT’s attempts at gerrymandering states to protect himself frm being impeached (if Ds regain congressional majority).

That’s what all of this is abt.

Walker is fighting against it.

Trump pardoned Dem Henry Cuella last week. Already, that sounds weird, right?

Well, Cuellar announcement that he’s running for office & Trump is super pissed.

Uhm, 🤔 …why? Was a quid pro quo connected to this pardon?

Inquiring minds want to know.

It’s disgusting that SCOTUS is hearing this case. 😡

That said, look up ‘birth tourism’. It’s been a ‘thing’ for yrs in Miami. 🤬

Trump is trying to obtain our voter info. He’s already suing 14 Democratic-controlled states for access.

Why? Bcz they’re looking for ways to discredit voters, unregister voters, etc…any way they can reduce the #s of D voters.

Our voter info is private! It MUST stay that way.
BREAKING: The DOJ sued six more states to force them to hand over unredacted voter rolls with the information of millions of voters.

Fourteen states have now been sued by the DOJ over their voter rolls. No case has yet succeeded.
