He handled all the gotcha questions with knock-outs.

Jack Smith, a man of integrity VS republicans.

Trump to The Hague. I’m all for it.

Thanks for posting. Great Info.

I admire your fortitude in sticking it out. Found this on YouTube - Meidas touch video of highlights of the deposition. Just under half an hour.

Time will tell whether it was devastating. But it was 8 hours of solid work by a skilled, unflappable prosecutor. Thirty minutes from the video (selected by folks who major in sensationalizing) won't give you that sense.

Meidas touch needs to stop sensationalizing things.

It seems like everything they put up is about them. That's not the way a news report or a podcast should be.

They have gotten worse. It's generally repetitive and they pick the bits that they perceive as sensational, then repeat and distort them.

And I avoid clips that use "EXPOLOSIVE" and such, but that being said...
I suspect the reason they do this (aside from clicks) is to attempt to match the hyper-sensational presentation of white-wing news-a-tainment. That's an effort I appreciate, though I don't know how effective it is and I don't respond to it.

Some day they'll have a real scoop, and it will get lost in the hyperbolic presentation.

zero in on exactly what SHOCKING thing is being highlighted in the EXPLOSIVE revelations. I'd be so lost without them.

So, don't hold your breath.

people find the sensationalism off putting.

I am just saying that, until the income (and desire for said) is removed, this will be their position.

They are making money, so they do not care about trivial things like 'accuracy' and 'forthright journalism'.

Bear in mind that they have already 'tried' the other way. They used to solely be the 'other way'.

But, that will not get them clicks these days. Without clicks, they don't get paid. (Print is dead as far as the modern news profession is concerned. It is too expensive and does not give enough ROI for their greedily programmed taste.)

They asked questions that had implications for the following:

coordination between Jack Smith and other states going after Trump.
Trump facing undue burden because all of the trials at once.
Trump didn't have enough time to go thru all of the boxes at Mar-a-Lago
getting the phone logs of the Senators

Of course, if he didn't break any laws, then he wouldn't be having these problems.

They spent time ridiculing Cassidy Hutchison.

They made a ridiculous argument that the documents at Mar-a-Lago would be safer there than at some obscure workers basement.

Shoot the messenger. Prosecute the opposition and in this case, the opposition is the law.

leaving the rally. Smith replied that her testimony was that of what she heard from others and was therefore hearsay, and he wouldn't expect her to be put on as witness, but he did not join in on the criticisms of her.

it all comes back to the grievances and complaints of Trump and those around him. Constant questions started with "you would agree, wouldn't you" and it would be about something that aggrieved Trump. It is all BS and they were trying to change the narrative but Smith did not allow it. The one that stuck out to me was when they said, you have to agree that Trump is entitled to free speech about denying the election and Smith said NO and went on to explain why. That was their entire schtick.
