"Mr. Smith, I want you to have the utmost confidence in what you did. You did everything right. Harry Dunn, Danny Hodges, they did everything right. These guys, my Republican colleagues, are a joke. They are wrong. History will harshly judge them. I want you to lean in today. You have nothing to be ashamed of. You did everything right. And these guys are so lucky that they are not under oath because they would have to tell you what they really think of Trump."
"They call him crooked. They call him cruel. They call him a scumbag. I've heard you all say it. You're lucky you're not under Trump. But when the lights go on and the cameras go on, you are tiny, you are small, you shrink. Everyone remembers Matt Gaetz coming over here after a committee hearing. He would laugh at how stupid he thought Trump was. This is all a show. And Mr. Smith, you are just the latest act that they have brought in."
During a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Jack Smith was urged to have confidence in his investigation of President Donald Trump and repeatedly told he did everything right. Capitol Police officers from January 6 and witnesses like Harry Dunn and Danny Hodges were affirmed as having acted correctly. Republican committee members were sharply criticized as privately calling Trump derogatory names while publicly defending him, described as a joke whose actions will be judged harshly by history. The remarks accused Republicans of shrinking under cameras and staging a show, citing behavior such as Matt Gaetz’s post-hearing comments. The January 6 events were noted as indelible.
