Jack Smith

You're lucky you're not under Trump, but when the lights go on and the cameras are on, you're tiny, you're small, you shrink.

Everyone remembers Matt Gaetz coming over here after a committee hearing.

He would laugh at how stupid he thought Trump was.

This is all a show.

And Mr. Smith, you're just the latest act that they've brought in.

But they can't erase what happened on January 6th because we saw it with our own eyes.

I was given the independence to conduct my investigation, and I came to the decision to bring charges in this case without undue influence from anybody in the department.

Why is it that no one should be informed, including the judges?

As you went in to spy on these people, did you mention that you were spying on, seeking records so you could find out about when conversations occurred between the US Speaker of the House and the President?

Did you inform the judge, or did you hold that back?

My office didn't spy on anyone.

Wait a second.

The question I asked you, Mr. Smith, was pretty straightforward.

Did you withhold that information from an Article III judge in the process of taking the records of the Speaker of the House?

We complied with department.

Did you hold back that information?

Mr. Chairman, would you please instruct the gentleman to allow the witness to answer the question?

It's not your time.

I'd like my time back.

Mr. Chairman, you have repeatedly done that in the past.
