Jack Smith still wants to speak in public: In a new letter, Smith says he wants the American public to "hear the facts" about his two criminal cases against Trump -- asking the House Judiciary Committee to release video of his closed-door deposition and schedule an open and public hearing.

... The House Judiciary Committee deposed Smith on Wednesday during a closed hearing that lasted for about nine hours, and his attorneys wrote committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, on Thursday to ask for a public hearing, CBS News reported.

"Mr. Smith welcomed this opportunity and hopes that it will serve to correct the many mischaracterizations about the work of the Special Counsel's Office," said Smith's attorneys, Peter Koski and Lanny Breuer.

"During the investigation of President Trump, Mr. Smith steadfastly followed Justice Department policies, observed all legal requirements and took actions based on the facts and the law," they wrote in their joint letter to Jordan. ...

Why does Rep Jordan seem to be so afraid of having a public hearing for SC Smith?

Jack will never have that chance as long as the Republicans have a say in it. This is why he didn't get a public hearing at the start. The Republicans wanted to know just how damaging Jack Smith's testimony would be without him being on a public stand. Now that they know, they will fight tooth and nail to prevent him from getting the public hearing.

They will fight tooth and nail anything that exposes their guilt in J6 from being made public.

Just like the Epstein files.

He was unlawfully appointed. Just like the prosecutor Bondi put on Comey and Tish James.
