So first.
Ah.
You got another line in there.
The inimitable Boston punk band, the Dropkick Murphys in all their glory.
Do you want to know why the Dropkick Murphys are relevant to our primetime recap of the Jack Smith hearing tonight?
I'll tell you, the dropkick Murphys have been emphatically railing at Donald Trump throughout his second term.
They are as unrestrained in their criticism of the president as they are glorious in it.
And that may be the necessary context you need to understand why Michael Fanone, the former D.C.
police officer who defended our nation's capital on January 6th, showed up to today's hearing in an excellent Dropkick Murphys T-shirt, which says on the back of it, fighting Nazis since 1996.
That turned out to be a bit of foreshadowing for what would happen when the hearing went into a brief recess and a kerfuffle broke out in the audience.
It seemed to start when a notorious MAGA troll provocateur guy seemed to be trying to provoke Officer Fanone.
We can hear Officer Fanone there accusing the man of threatening his family and threatening to, quote, rape his children as fellow officers held him back.
