Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsJust finished watching the entire Jack Smith deposition.
He's a fuckin' rock star. The republicans had no valid arguments to counter the facts. None.
Clear, concise, unvarnished testimony. A sight to behold. A master class in the art of bitch-slapping.
This man is a true patriot.

(4,025 posts)Never forget he was slowed and handcuffed by the attorney general.

(53,195 posts)He is rather soft-spoken, succinct, and self-assured. There are no theatrics or excessive rhetoric, a Joe Friday type of persona - "Just the facts" kind of guy. To all appearances, he is a man of character and integrity, the kind of person Trump hates.

(22,537 posts)Not defending Garland, but I think it's clear that he made a great choice with Smith. He just waited way too long to do it, and Smith didn't have time to get the job done.

(38,551 posts)No big fireworks, nothing new. Just 8 solid hours of consistent, damning, testimony in which he laid out the case for Trump's guilt - and refused to be pushed off course by idiotic "gotcha" questions from the Republican side of the aisle.

(31,291 posts)I tried but the republicans always spitting bullshit and propaganda, aargh I can't take it. Maybe I'll try again with a transcript or something and FF through the assholes.

(41,359 posts)I had better luck getting through the printed transcript, since I could skip over the nasty tone of the Repukes. You can get it here, if you want to give it a try:

This can be downloaded as a separate PDF if you look below under the BlueSky tweets on the OP. It's a lot of pages, but at least their "gotcha" tone of voice is eliminated when you read the transcript rather than listen to the video.

(308 posts)I watched it too and it was riveting. The Dems asking questions vs. the GQP weak attempt at gotchas just demonstrated how much they have lied and how messy it is to clean up.
We have amazing , smart, ethical, and persistent Dems representatives.

(1,871 posts)Hillary did the same at the Benghazi hearings and where did it get her? Those fuckers just keep on and on and ON with their BS unchecked. She shoulda been a two term POTUS if 1/2 this country wasn't so effed in the head. She SCHOOLED those assholes during those hearings and nothing came of it for her.
