"In a new letter sent Friday to Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), obtained by POLITICO, lawyers for Smith argue that politics had no influence over their client's investigations into Trump and agreed it would be unacceptable for any occupant of the White House to leverage law enforcement against a perceived enemy. Such political meddling in prosecutorial decision making undermines the credibility of the Justice Department and the integrity of any subsequent enforcement actions,"
"The flying monkeys want Smith in closed session so that they can come out and lie about what he said and what happened. Smith, who did not arrive in D.C. on a melon wagon, wants to testify in public, which likely would cause them to dissolve into the floor like Margaret Hamilton in The Wizard of Oz. This is a guy who faced down bloodthirsty Balkan militiamen in court."
Lawyers for Jack Smith sent a letter to Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley asserting that politics did not influence Smith's investigations and warning that any President leveraging law enforcement against perceived enemies would be unacceptable. The letter states that political meddling undermines the Justice Department's credibility and risks turning impartial law enforcement into partisan tools protecting allies and punishing adversaries. Some Republicans seek Smith's testimony in closed session, while Smith prefers public testimony. Commentary asserts that attempts to intimidate Smith will likely fail given his courtroom experience. Nancy Pelosi announced her retirement, marking a significant congressional moment given her legislative leadership and actions on January 6.
