The timeline provided by the website omits critical details of the January 6th Capitol attack, including the discovery of bombs and the initial breach by supporters. It neglects to mention that the events led to a lockdown and chants for violence against lawmakers. While Trump did tweet a call for peace, the White House’s account fails to acknowledge that this was after the Capitol was already breached and after Trump criticized Vice President Pence for not overturning the election results.

Jack Smith May Still Be Able to Reveal Everything He Has on Trump | Representative Jim Jordan may have accidentally given Smith an opening. The very idea that Jim Jordan, known for his staunch defenses of Donald Trump, might have inadvertently provided a pathway for the public to access more information about the former president seems almost paradoxical. The existing details hint at a closed-door deposition where Jack Smith testified, and while the article draws attention to this, it feels as though the connection between this testimony and Smith’s future ability to reveal information is tenuous at best.
The core of the issue revolves around what happened in that closed-door session. Raskin’s comments, implying the session was damaging to Trump, are the main source of the speculation. It’s a tantalizing detail, but it doesn’t automatically translate into a clear path for Smith to release more information. The article seems to suggest that Jordan’s actions, perhaps by creating a specific record or opening a line of questioning, may have somehow paved the way for future revelations. However, the exact mechanics of how this could occur remain unclear. It’s important to remember that the focus is on a deposition, a closed-door event, not a public declaration.
The frustration is palpable, and for good reason. The American public deserves transparency. The feeling that crucial information is being withheld, perhaps due to political maneuvering or legal constraints, is widespread. The public’s frustration is understandable, because they are weary of waiting. The comments make it evident that many believe Smith should have the power to expose everything, and they are tired of seeing those efforts stifled. The calls for “just doing it,” “dumping everything,” and “releasing it” reflect a deep-seated distrust of the established legal and political processes, a sense that those processes are being manipulated to protect Trump.
The fact that Smith developed two cases against Trump – one regarding the handling of classified documents and another regarding the January 6th events – highlights the extensive nature of the investigations. However, the dismissal of these cases, because of the long-standing Justice Department policy, fuels the perception of a system seemingly designed to protect powerful figures. This adds to the feeling that justice is not being served and reinforces the desire for complete transparency.
The comments also point out what appears to be a disconnect between the article’s headline and its content. The claim that Jordan might have inadvertently created an opening for Smith to reveal everything is not substantiated within the text itself. The article focuses on Raskin’s reaction to the closed-door testimony, but this doesn’t explain how this testimony could lead to a future release of information. This lack of connection between the headline and the body of the article contributes to the overall frustration, making it seem like a clickbait article designed to attract attention rather than provide informative analysis.
The discussions about the legal and political landscape further highlight the challenges faced by those seeking to hold Trump accountable. The accusations of unfair treatment, political motivation, and the focus on Trump’s trial motions add to the complexity of the situation. Some have expressed concern over the GOP’s inquiries into the toll records of some Congress members.
The comments show a deep-seated distrust of the “news” media, implying a preference for unfiltered information. The recurring demand for direct action, bypassing the traditional channels, underscores this sentiment. The repeated expression of being “tired of” the current state of affairs reflects a growing impatience and weariness with the perceived lack of accountability. The belief that America is “dead” is a grave statement and an indictment of the current political system.
The core issue remains: Is there a way for Jack Smith to reveal everything he has on Trump? The existing information provides no clear answers, while it highlights frustration and anger, and a deep desire for transparency and justice.
