Jack Smith HAS been a standup Guy for the Law from the Jump….
He’s been on the case dealing with a convicted criminal acting as a President of the United States…
From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch editorial board:
“Just when you think Eric Schmitt couldn’t possibly embarrass himself and his constituents any more than he already has, he goes in for a rhetorical layup, gratuitously throws an elbow, spectacularly misses the shot and then stomps around the court indignantly when the ref calls foul.”
“That’s all metaphorical, of course. What Missouri’s perpetually seething junior senator really, truly did on Tuesday (in front of the whole country!) was to proffer a loony right-wing conspiracy based on some misunderstood text messages; falsely accuse a prosecutor of perjury; call him a ‘villain’ and a ‘total dirtbag’ — and then stand by that playground-level pejorative even after the whole thing turned out to be a lazy mistake on the part of Schmitt and his staff regarding, of all things, a basketball game.”
New York Magazine: Eric Schmitt’s failed Jack Smith takedown is instant classic.
Schmitt has a new nickname as I understand it…
“ dirtbag”
Owned and operated by Donald Trump…
He was WARNED NOT to use the stuff against Smith….
He went ahead and screwed HIMSELF…..
These people better hope the next President, a Democrat don’t rehire Smith for another chance to NAIL Trump….
This time he’ll have a TON of stuff….
Operating OUTSIDE his official duties as President, eh?
I think this exchange pretty much sums up the entire Trump Era…Make up facts…call people names…then get called out when the facts are wrong…then attack the fact checker with irate indignation…
Yeah that pretty much sums up what the Republican Party has become.
And their supposed “ conservative values?”Nothing but meaningless words.Their “ values”( if you can call them that)?Whatever Donald Trump says at any point in time.
Following the LEAD of the guy who co-oped their ‘Party’….
The party that IS gonna take a beat down in a month while their ‘leader’ keeps promoting HIMSELF, eh?
