And here is illustration number three million of why the GOP refused to allow Jack Smith's deposition to be carried live, on TV.
Testimony from Jack Smith: Q So taking all these cases you described, I heard cases about, you know, gang -- about gangs in New York, it sounds like. There were war crimes cases. There were domestic violence cases you just described. Taking all that experience, when you finished your investigation of Special Counsel's Office, you believed that you had sufficient evidence in this case to prove Donald Trump committed those crimes after the 2020 election? A I did. Q And you believed that you had enough evidence to get a conviction with Donald Trump taking or willfully taking the classified documents after he left office in 2020 and returned to Florida in 2021? A That is correct. Q So we've heard a word a lot from this administration from the majority, Republicans, and that word is "transparency." And yet, Mr. Smith, we're in a closed-door deposition today, meaning that members of the public and even congressional Members and staff who are not part of the Judiciary Committee are not permitted to attend this proceeding.
