The former special counsel gets his requested time in the Congressional limelight on Thursday; Republicans need to be prepared to expose Smith's corruption, misconduct, and potential criminality.
Great questions list, Julie! I wish so much you could do the questioning of Smith (might have to hold your nose while you do!), because no one knows these cases better than you. I hope the committee takes your advice and asks the right questions and doesn’t let Smith slither away from accountability. This should be fun. I’ll make the 🍿😆
It would be helpful if the Republican clowns doing the interogatives actually asked a question of this freak of nature instead of bloviating about themselves. This reptilian representation of a human form should be strapped naked to a chair in a very cold room, have cold water dumped on his head and left for a good half hour to contemplate whether he wants to give honest answers. We get some where at that point…otherwise this is just another show trial run by the other party…
The putrid actions of Jack(ass) Smith deserve to be held in ill repute forever.
I can't expand on the list of questions because the answers to those questions are very important. Smith, along with his associates and some higher-ups within the Department of Justice (sic), put an indelible stain upon that department.
It seems beyond bizarre that the last four years happened. President Trump was subjected to the most legal cruelty imaginable by the full weight of the DOJ and complicit state proscutors. The leftist media vilified him daily with made up and "if true" stories. Fox News went further establishment and banished most of his supporters or muzzled them. They shot at him and tried to kill him. And yet, he won reelection.
I think I can guarantee one thing; these bloviating doofusses will spend maximum time wailing about Jack's totally unconstitutional attack on their person by illegally obtaining their cell phone records and muzzling the carriers to prevent them from reporting same. And will they then point to the outrageous illegal actions taken to muzzle, thwart and indict DJT? Cue silence.
Very detailed list Julie, I hope at least one Republican has the courage to address your list, otherwise it will be just like all the other hearings, a total waste of time the ends up with no indictments. Our only hope for accountability is for Smith to lie under oath and be sent to prison just like Navarro and Brannon. However I have very little faith the Republicans will do anything about this.
“ a total waste of time the ends up with no indictments”…except for the misleading, untrue and clickable headlines, sound bytes, and edited “quotes” in the leggy media to feed the act blue pipeline.
Excellent set of questions, I particularly like the angle of discrediting the facade of Jack's “independence” from the Biden DOJ as you stated in question #6. They need to portray him as a party apparatchik engaged in a criminal election rigging scheme. Jack was the true "Threat To Our Democracy!" as Biden was found of shouting.
Another way to challenge his independence is as follows:
Considering that one of the Biden DOJ’s greatest violations of civil liberties was the novel use of the obstruction statute, 1512(c)(2), against hundreds of J6ers, Smith needs to be asked how he came up with that idea in his charges against Trump in the J6 case. It obviously was not on his own. Smith’s adoption of the concept is a clear indication he was working in coordination with, not independent of, the assumptions of the DOJ prosecutions. He cannot claim that the new application of the broadly worded statute was settled law because it was already in the appeals process. Furthermore, many legal analysts could see that it was a clear case of prosecutorial overreach and SCOTUS eventually struck it down.
If Jack’s independence can be discredited, all of the other questions expose how corrupt the whole process was; it was another hoax the nation had to endure.
9) That was my idea. A pretty cool one if I say so myself. That stunt made the front page of the NY Times.
10) Just 50 large? I thought we spent much more than that. We did have many late-night sessions playing foosball and what not that required food deliveries. Do you have any idea how expensive it is for food deliveries from Jont and Pineapple and Pearls? You don't get 2 Michelin Stars by giving food away.
Thank you, Gentlemen, time for me to tootle. Lunch is calling and where I am going, they are very strict about reservations and holding tables. You may be surprised to learn that the Attorney General you confirmed neglected to turn off my expense account.
Great questions as always Julie, but I think it's only fair to help the once and future special counsel some help with the answers. So here goes:
1) Originally, I signed the filings as Royal Emperor Jack Smith, which was a more fitting title. After the Wicked Witch's ruling I changed to Special Counsel in an effort to show deference to the court.
2) Well of course we did it all in DC. That's where are all of our drinking buddies on the federal bench are located. Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a compliant judge in Florida? Besides, half of the novel legal theories we proposed were the judges' idea. Boasturd was particularly helpful in this regard. I didn't want to move it to Florida, but we had to in order to pull off the raid on Mar-a-Lago.
3) It's basically the same answer. Howell and Boasturd suggested we keep the case in DC since they couldn't control the Florida judges. It was Boasturd's idea to pierce the attorney client privilege, so we weren't particularly surprised when he ruled in our favor.
4) That was Lisa Monaco's idea. It was so outrageous we had to try it. That's another reason we kept everything in DC. No Florida judge would have granted that motion.
5) I made the first part up as a dig at Elon Musk, even though he didn't own Twitter at the time. The WAPO ate it up. Twitter was more than happy to comply. Jack Dorsey and I go to the same beard stylist. Howell didn't just participate; it was her idea.
6) Of course I wanted to work at DOJ. DC is where the action is. I couldn't prosecute Trump from the Hague. Lisa told me to cool my jets for a while, so I did. Worked out brilliantly, at least at first.
7) Initially it was supposed to be a panty raid on Melania's underwear drawer. "Finding" the boxes was just an added bonus. We actually brought the boxes with us and pretended to find them there.
8) We made up the obstruction part. I think it was Lisa's idea. She is exceptionally good at that sort of thing. We just needed an excuse for the panty raid/box planting adventure.
9) That was my idea. A pretty cool one if I must admit. That stunt made the front page of the NY Times.
10) Just 50 large? I thought we spent a lot more than that. We did have a lot of late nights playing foosball and what not that required food deliveries. Do you have any idea how expensive it is for takeout from Jont and Pineapple and Pearls? You don't get 2 Michelin Stars by giving food away.
Thank you, Gentlemen, tootles. I have to push on. Lunch is calling and where I am going, they are very strict about reservations. You may be surprised to learn that the Attorney General you confirmed neglected to turn off my expense account.
I hope Senator Ron Johnson will get the chance to ask questions and that he will use Ms. Kelly's excellent list. I've heard Senator Johnson on the podcasts of "Just the News" with John Solomon and Amanda Head. The Senator is serious about justice being done to the Deep State.

What Senators have you sent your proposed questions too?
Highly encourage Dave’s suggested action.

Yep. Julie should be asking Smith the questions.
I’d be willing to bet that not a single one of these will be asked
Well, they’ll be sure & complain about THEIR rights being violated by phone tapping etc.

It will all be theatre, nothing of consequence will be asked ..... or answered.
Most of the senate republicans view Smith as a hero fighting for muh democracy.
