And we can thank Judge Eileen Cannon for getting this case dubiously dismissed in her efforts to favor Trump, not the law or the constitution.

Thank you for pointing that out. Anybody else think that she was so extreme she should be sanctioned by the courts?

The great men and the women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our great nation are being disrespected by the current regime. They are the reason that the founders put the statements to swear or affirm to support and defend the U.S. Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and to bear true faith and allegiance to the same. Jack Smith is the type of person that I as an American always want to be in the position of reviewing all the facts and following the law no matter where it takes him. As Seargeant Joe Friday always said, just the facts! How did we get to a place where the facts don't matter/

Yes, a breath of fresh air, but occurring in the midst of the rotted stretch of the Republican Party. When I read something like this, I despair that we are where we are. Republicans have thoroughly failed this country. They have utterly abandoned their oaths of office. They stand for nothing except kissing Trump’s *ss to protect their disempowered Congressional seats. What are their expectations as leaders after all the corruption and lawlessness they have enabled, excused, overlooked?

How many Jack Smiths do we need to recover the integrity of this country?

Thank you for this piece. I read in Heather Cox Richardson about the New Year’s Eve release and wanted to know more.

Yes, this is on Trump, and his enablers. We need accountability, friends. It's been way too long that Trump has been aided in failing upwards, by all kind of people, for all kinds of reasons-- none of them good.

Thank you for this summary. I’m at the 2 hour mark (out of 8) in my listening, and am so impressed by the integrity of Jack Smith. He even declined to take a swipe at Jim Jordan for not allowing this hearing to be public. A real mensch.

Thank you for showing Jack Smith. They tried to bury his testimony, but we have testimony on video and this should be played all day the rest of this week.
