Jack Smith Accepts Invite to Testify Before Senate Judiciary Committee

Tuesday, August 04, 2026

Jack Smith, the former special counsel who brought criminal charges against Donald Trump, will testify Sept. 22 before the Senate Judiciary Committee. "He stands by the decisions he made as Special Counsel and looks forward to the opportunity to appear before your Committee in a public hearing to correct the many mischaracterizations of his tenure," his attorneys wrote in a letter to the committee.

I used to play that game with Trump.

Would you like to congratulate the innocent man that Donald Trump did not succeed in throwing in prison for ten years?

Why do you pretend to stand for anything? Is it reflex?

Why would he need to plead the 5th about anything.

Jack Smith "looks forward to the opportunity to appear before [the] Committee in a public hearing to correct the many mischaracterizations of his tenure"

Republicans will need to make sure they don't allow Jack Smith the leeway to speak freely.

This hearing will be a laff riot, TV worth watching. Highlights will include:
-Chuck Grassley letting the hearing spin out of control
-Ted Cruz trying to demonstrate why he should be on SCOTUS
-Little Josh Hawley reminding everyone that he was once a prosecutor, and a good one too
-Katie Britt will bring cookies
-Marsha Blackburn will try to fool people to think she is an attorney by asking about parking tickets
-Mike Lee will shout at the witness--twice
-Miss Lindsey's sister will bring her lunch and quietly eat it throughout the hearing

And the Dems will try to extract as many embarrassing comments form the witness as they possibly can, almost all regarding Donald Trump and the rest about GOP senators on the committee...
