I noticed the New Year’s Eve release as well. Cowards.

Notice how with Trump it's always about the headline and never about what comes after? "Letitia James Indicted for Mortgage Fraud" is the headline he wanted and he got it, who cares if the case devolves into pure fiasco, he can be sure none of his Fox-addicted followers will ever know, in their minds James will be guilty as long as they live.

Same here, "President Demands Jack Smith Testify" is the headline, who cares what the testimony is? Not anyone who supports Trump, that's for sure, they've all moved on to "President Demands Investigation into Childcare", an investigation that will never happen, or if it does they won't care what it finds, because by then they'll be on to "Zoran Mamdani Indicted for Treason."

Thank you for reading and summarizing this testimony for us! I admire Smith and his deliberation and thorough preparation on this case. It’s a tragedy that because of the disgrace of Trump’s re-election, the cases will never come to trial, and he will escape the consequences of his crimes. I still hold hope that someday he will suffer the consequences.

It just goes to show how much of this is political theater for Republicans. What a waste of time and money.

Well, in this case I'd say we got our money's worth.

There's definitely value here. I just wish it were more visible and that more people took his words to heart, especially among Republicans.

Thanks for reading it. Will share. Not as dramatic as the successful 60 minutes CECOT episode, but like that, something which needs to be brought into the light however we can.

What kind of questions did the Republican members ask?

"Have you stopped beating your wife?"

It is breath-taking how Trump has managed to terrify Republicans. What will make the cowardice end?

I mean, the minute I could get a copy of the report on his testimony (which disappeared VERY quickly), and dropped it here.

It ended up in a few of our daily updates.
