The face-plant by Senator Eric Schmitt (R., Mo.) at today’s Senate Judiciary Committee grilling of Biden Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith was so weird.
Schmitt recklessly accused Smith of lying and called him a “total dirtbag” (which I’m sure the Trump sycophant’s audience of one appreciated). Schmitt acted as if he had a smoking gun against Smith: proof that he had been in Georgia on February 3, 2024, meeting with Fulton County attorney and fellow Democratic Trump prosecutor Fani Willis — apparently at a critical time when Willis’s misconduct was blowing up her case. Smith denies that he met with Willis while he was special counsel.
