Former special counsel Jack Smith did not invoke his Fifth Amendment rights during eight hours of testimony Wednesday behind closed doors to the House Judiciary Committee, the panel’s chairman said.
“He did not take the Fifth like some of his deputies did,” Jim Jordan, an Ohio Republican, said on Fox News on Thursday.
Smith defended both of his investigations into Donald Trump, telling members that he charged Trump regardless of his political party affiliation. Smith and his attorneys have previously said that he wanted the opportunity to correct mischaracterizations about his investigations.
This is the type of guy that should be the us president.
Not a fucking obese narcissistic pathological liar that rapes children and women (plus his many maaaanyyy other crimes and bad character traits)
Is rather he be in the supreme court for more lasting legal opinions and decisions, but a presidential stint would be something I could settle for.
I don’t know about President but they’re the types of people we need staffing the institutional government. People who have a principled devotion to the constitution, people who can’t be bought, etc. Good old fashioned “G-men”, for whatever that’s worth. Those kinds of guys, and they were mostly all guys for many years, they were also obviously used as a cudgel and a tool of oppression, so, I’m not that romantic about the notion. Still, Smith seems like a real one.
