#TedLieu continued: “I demand this committee, this chairman & #Republicans, call an immediate hearing asking why the Department of Justice is refusing to release 99% of the #EpsteinFiles & why the #DOJ is violating the #law right now.”
DOJ said earlier this month that it has released <1% of its Epstein-related files, with >2 million documents still being reviewed.

“Rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 presidential #election, President #Trump engaged in a #criminal scheme to overturn the results & prevent the lawful transfer of power,” #JackSmith wrote in his prepared statement.

“ #Republicans would rather talk about the #criminality of Donald #Trump in trying to steal an #election & trying to stop the #PeacefulTransitionOfPower, & the criminality of Donald Trump in stealing #ClassifiedDocuments & #ObstructionOfJustice than about Donald Trump’s associations with Jeffrey #Epstein & his #pedophilia ring,” #Rep TedLieu said.

Earlier Rep #TedLieu (D-CA) kicked some #GOP ass for their #lies & #hypocrisy.
Lieu called out his Republican colleagues for choosing to hold a hearing on #JackSmith’s probes into #Trump instead of an oversight hearing into #DOJ’s slow release of files related to the late sex offender #JeffreyEpstein.

Rep #MaryScanlon (D-PA) is finally getting #JackSmith to get into the nitty gritty of the #evidence. Her questioning allowed Smith to discuss evidence given under oath that #Pennsylvania officials told #Trump unequivocally that he had lost the election in their state & that the #ConspiracyTheories he was peddling about PA were false & proven to be false. This goes directly to Trump’s knowledge that he was perpetrating a #fraud upon the American people.

Former special counsel #JackSmith is publicly testifying before the #House #Judiciary Committee today.
The hearing will examine the operations of Smith’s office & his team’s investigations and prosecutions of #Trump & his co-defendants, according to the committee.

Rep #ZoeLofgren (D-CA) is an effective questioner. She introduced #evidence from Smith’s investigation that #LindseyGraham under oath told Smith’s team that if somebody told #Trump that #aliens came down & stole Trump ballots, that Trump would've believed it.
Rep #DarrellIssa (R-CA) behaved outrageously, he basically ranted, never allowed #JackSmith to answer & stole extra time. #JamieRaskin tried to negate that stolen time by talking simultaneously in objection so Issa couldn’t keep testifying.
Rep #HankJohnson (D-GA) is also questioning #JackSmith very effectively. Unfortunately it is very clear that this “hearing” is designed to be a sound bite generator for the #Republicans to shop around to #FarRight #media outlets.

#Republican #House #Judiciary Committee members are going to focus on things like #CassidyHutchinson & the #subpoenas for #Congress members’ phone logs, because if they let #JackSmith get into the actual #evidence he gathered against #Trump, it will be damning.

Also the grandstanding performative courtroom drama behavior of the #congress members is quite heavy handed. #JackSmith who has repeatedly been described as measured & calm is coming off a little stiff especially because he keeps being interrupted. He needs to come back at them like they are hostile witnesses.

“I am not a politician, & I have no partisan loyalties. My career has been dedicated to serving our country by upholding the rule of law,” #JackSmith says in his prepared statement.
Smith is expected to tell #Congress that his approach is to always follow the facts without fear or favor.

This #Jan6 plaque was made to honor law enforcement. It's nowhere to be found at the #Capitol
The official plaque honoring the #police who defended #democracy that day is nowhere to be found.
It’s not on display at the Capitol, as is required by #law. Its whereabouts aren’t publicly known, though it’s believed to be in storage.

There is no bottom when it comes to Donald #Trump.
We have been in contact with the House Sergeant at Arms & the United States Capitol Police to ensure the safety of these Members & their families. Donald Trump must immediately delete these unhinged social media posts & recant his violent rhetoric before he gets someone killed.
