The American public will get a chance to hear directly from former Department of Justice Special Counsel Jack Smith.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan announced that Smith will testify in a public hearing on Jan. 22.

The hearing will focus on Smith's investigations into President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. Smith testified for eight hours in a closed-door hearing in December, saying he believed he could prove his case in a court of law.

His legal team requested the opportunity for a public appearance, which Jordan insisted would always take place.

Guys a hero. Fuck Jordan, he's a scumbag just like Trump and the rest of the pedo-crew.

Gym Jordan should be in jail.

Smith's closed door testimony was released just a few days ago, it was completely damning to trump and the magats who fellate him, and...it barely seemed to make a ripple. This should do something, but I can't get my hopes up. Fuckhead's previous two impeachments were freaking rock solid and were just dismissed by the amoral asshole magat GOP.
