Watching Congressional Republicans attack former special counsel Jack Smith during a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee was a mockery of justice. A modern kangaroo moment.
Playing to an audience of one - Trump - GOP members doubled up on right-wing theories to put a good show on. It was showtime after all. A pathetic attempt to rewrite history.
Another example of how low the House majority can go. Reality was forsaken in impassioned speeches by spineless GOP members trying to impress dear leader.
If you happened to tune into this political theatre, you probably noticed the Republicans couldn't challenge the hard facts that Smith calmly laid out so they depended on ill-conceived conspiracies.
As Smith testified Trump wrote in a post to Truth Social, that he (Smith) "is being decimated before Congress." He was obviously pleased with his lackey's performance. Imagine that. Trump huddled in some dark corner of The White House like a troll, following his minions and making sure they stick to his script.
"The whole thing was a Democratic SCAM - A big price should be paid by them for what they put our Country through," Trump ranted online.
Make no mistake. This kangaroo court is just another chapter in Trump's vile attempt to rewrite history and justify his attempt to illegally seize the 2020 election. His craven cronies are continuing to back his lies with false narratives refuting reality.
When the biggest hypocrite and first-class liar in Congress, Rep. Darrell Issa accused Smith of "going after political enemies" my jaw dropped. The whole phony hearing was part and parcel of Trump's goal of going after his political enemies. Talk about hypocrisy. Issa has no shame. It's a MAGA trait.
If you're wondering what the whole point of this theatre of the absurd was... it's simple. Furthering Trump's Big Lie. The theatrics were staged to please him, not to expose some truths to the American people. The majority of Americans who watched Trump supporters almost steal the 2020 election aren't going to be impressed by the shit show the Republicans put on.
Jack Smith warned Americans, in his opening speech, not to take the rule of law "for granted." That's good advice for all of us who care about preserving our Democratic republic.
As it Stands, the big takeaway from this show trial is that it's just another distraction by Trump who is refusing to release the Epstein files. He's that desperate. We see this after his attempt to illegally seize Greenland was blocked by Western countries who wouldn't back down from a threat of war.
