Republicans do not want to hear Jack Smith in an open hearing...

[kentuck]

Because they know the truth.

They were in the Capitol on January 6th. Since then, they have been trying to re-write history by telling Trump's narrative over and over. They are scared to death of the truth.

Jack Smith has offered to testify in front of the Senate and House Judiciary.

But, that is the last thing that Donald Trump would want. The truth would be like a stake thru the heart.

1. He needs to do it.

Republicans can ask questions. So can we. This is how it should be done.

[rampartd]

2. the hearings must be public,

otherwise all we will hear is jprdan's bullshit.

[BComplex]

12. ABSOLUTELY!! Yes! The nazis aren't about to let the truth out in public, but

if they want to hear Jack Smith, he needs to hold strong that it should be public.

[rampartd]

16. he needs to get his report out.

[UpInArms]

3. You go, Jack

tell the world what you know

[TheRickles]

4. And if the R's don't agree to a formal hearing, the D's should hold one independently with Smith.

[KS Toronado]

5. Yes and make sure it's televised.

[AverageOldGuy]

6. On the Capitol Steps

With lots of handouts:
-- transcripts of what he said
-- details of the stolen classified documents case with identities of the stolen documents

[MadameButterfly]

26. This shouldn't just be about the election

we need the report on the stolen documents.He said he nows why Trump stolethe documents. We should all know.
Espionage?

7. A podium with a kick ass sound system on the capital steps works for me. ...

Imagine selling sponsorships for The Jack Smith Soapbox! It might be a long shot; but I can imagine him as a guest speaker at the next rally.

❤️ RESIST!! ✊️

9. Imagine they'll schedule some F35 fly-bys and perhaps some gunnery practice overhead.

This would be humorous in a 3rd grade way except it's so tragic.

[littlemissmartypants]

27. It really is tragic. I can only imagine how frustrating it must be to be a...

Competent, intelligent, reserved, principled, dedicated, experienced international attorney and getting no better support than what he did. I just hope he is resilient and full of forgiveness.

We really failed him as a country. It's an embarrassing turn of events. I'm not sure I would be able to be that quick to forgive if I was in his shoes. He must have an incredible amount of internal fortitude.

A fly-by would be hard to ignore without it.

Thanks for the reply, erronis. ❤️

33. How Many Do You Suppose There Are Who Embody All Those Lofty, Admirable Attributes?

Trying to corral my inner cynic.

[LilElf70]

8. I say

tough shit. Let the man talk. And talk he will.

You go Jack!!!!

[Magoo48]

10. Yup, talk.

I still wish he had turned over everything he discovered in his investigations the very minute he saw the handwriting on the wall.

[LilElf70]

18. The time is coming....

[paleotn]

11. Perhaps Smith's testimony might be the straw that leads to CVA city.

Massive stroke. Huuuge.

[LW1977]

13. Bigly

[Mysterian]

14. The idiots in charge will come to regret their criminal phony persecutions of innocent people

They will be held accountable for their crimes against the innocent.

[AllaN01Bear]

15. what they all said.

[Johonny]

17. Trump stole our secrets and sold them

To our enemies. He did, period.

[NoMoreRepugs]

19. Let's go Democrats - start talking about it at every opportunity.

[iluvtennis]

20. If the MAGATs don't approve a hearing in House or Senate, Smith should do a nationally televised round table

with various election and national defense experts asking the questions as well as a few everyday people.

[lostnfound]

25. A congressional hearing has some built-in protections for witnesses, doesn't it?

Speech and debate clause, being sworn in, possible immunity?
Speaking out publicly without that would risk further harassment / prosecution by current traitor-in-chief.

[ancianita]

21. NO Republicans want anything open. Nothing. Not one thing.

They want a behind closed doors secret questioning so the bad lawyers there -- who aren't even fit to stand in the same courtroom with Jack Smith -- can cherry pick and pervert his words to serve their re-write of January 6 history.

They want to record the session, then AI the recording to serve up lies as part of their trumpian political menace.

[Blue Owl]

22. I would love it if Jack Smith went rogue

[spanone]

23. The last thing repbublicans want is the truth.

GOD FORBID.

TRMP WILL ALLOW NO SUCH THING.

[Cheezoholic]

24. The truth was stolen when 90 million lazy good for nothing self centered morons sat at home and didn't vote in 2024 n/t

[Mr. Ected]

28. I'm afraid that the spin machine will ensure that Smith's words and intentions would be twisted

And very few minds would be changed in the final accounting.

We not only have a political and cultural menace in the White House, we have a media that cowers to him and his sycophants. We cannot trust that Jack Smith's testimony would be accurately conveyed to the American people. Those of us who keep up know the score. But most Americans do not keep up or are hopelessly brainwashed at this point.

These are not normal times. In normal times, public testimony would reap benefits. In this bizarro timeline, the effect will be dampened and muddied. Not a reason not to do it, but don't expect a sea change in public opinion because of it.

[pfitz59]

29. Any hearing before Congress

is just a 'sound bite' opportunity for publicity hounds. Jack won't get a chance to speak.

[Scalded Nun]

30. No classified/ national security secrets .Public testimony or nothing.Then spill everything alowable in a public forum.

[vapor2]

31. This despicable party doesn't want to hear the truth

[ffr]

32. * REPUBLICAN SNOWFLAKES *

Republicans talk tough, but they can't think for themselves, they cannot stand on their own two feet or take a position contrary to what they're told to take.

FUCK them!
