Jack Smith Testifies That Trump Committed Serious Crimes Against The Nation

Jack Smith has finally gotten his wish and is publicly testifying about his investigation and charges against Donald Trump. Senate Republicans on the Judiciary Committee are on a mission to rewrite the history of the 1/6 attack and turn the criminal investigation of Trump into a vast conspiracy theory that it was a political prosecution.

In essence, the Democratic members of the committee are trying to discuss Smith’s investigation, while the Republicans are trying to reframe it by creating a fictional narrative.

In his opening statement, former Special Counsel Smith debunked the Republican narrative that he is a partisan who was out to get Trump.

Smith said:

 I've been fortunate to serve a country that I love for nearly 30 years in local, national, and international settings. My service has spanned both Republican and Democratic administrations. I am not a politician, and I have no partisan loyalty. My career has been dedicated to serving our country by upholding the rule of law and the core principles upon which our country was founded.  I believe there is no role for politics in the proper administration of justice. A prosecutor's decisions must be based on the facts and the law.

Smith wasted no time getting into the Trump investigation.
