She put a lot on the line and is no doubt fearful of retribution.

Cos you can back it in that this release is the latest distraction.

Thanks for posting the summary.

Ya know so unlike the piece of shit POTUS, whose whole existence is retaliation, AND political bias. 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬

That by itself isn't really important. Do you really expect any prosecutor that's worth serious respect (and not just getting political 'vote for me!' points) to say otherwise? Letitia James ran on prosecuting Trump--to say she *wasn't* biased is to insult everything's intelligence. But for a DOJ appointee to deny it is basically like asking him if he's really a lizard person and not a mammal.

The judgment has to be not on what the guy says but on what he does and how he does it.

I'm seriously surprised at how excited people are at some of the "important take-aways" that for me are "d'uh" moments. If they weren't sort of necessary background true, his rep would be ruined and what he did possibly justiciable.

therefore not as strong as first-hand information.

Of course first hand info is stronger. But her recounting of what Tony Ornato said to her is first hand info. And he was in the limo.

I can see why Smith would have no legal use for that, but that doesn't mean she tried to deceive anyone. Seems there were other incidents that she described as things she heard from others?

They were merely numbers involved, when the call started, and when the call stopped.

"Smith repeatedly reminded lawmakers that he’s open to sharing the results of his classified documents investigation, but was restricted by the ruling from a federal judge in Florida who maintained Smith’s report must stay under seal."

Now I wonder, just who could that judge be?

And thanks to In It to Win It for sharing “7 takeaways from Jack Smith's congressional testimony”. Good stuff!

Around 5 hours 39 minutes - an FBI agent considered as a witness in the case provided more information than requested, including personal emails. Those emails included a dispute between the potential witness and a family member about January 6. That agent was removed from consideration as a witness to avoid the appearance of the potential for the appearance of political bias (and to send a message to his staff that politics would play no role in the investigation).

Around 5:42 - questioning about putting information in the public domain before the election so people could use it to make voting decisions - absolutely not. Pointed to record - in which his office proactively communicated that it had no objection to their evidence in case (already submitted) being embargoed until Trump's team filed theirs (after the election) - at a stage when Smith had no obligation to respond to Trump's motion until AFTER the election..
