1/ Did Idaho Freedom Foundation Board Member Bryan Smith admit to being a "dirty debt collector" in his speech? Let's learn more about congressional candidate Bryan Smith. 🔥🧵 #idpol #idleg #idgop #GrafReceipts
2/Smith and his medical debt collection business were featured in an East Idaho News investigative series in 2019. #idpol

3/ The alleged victim stories were so bad, legislation was created to cap the fees a firm like Smith's could collect. #idpol eastidahonews.com/2020/02/idaho-…
4/ Smith's business, MRS has been a major contributor to far-right candidates for many years. Just before the house committee hearing on the Idaho Patient Act, Tammy Nichols received a $1,000 donation from MRS.
Tammy voted in favor of her donor. #idpol

5/ The Idaho Freedom Foundation scored the Idaho Patient Act a -9, claiming it was a free speech violation not to be able to negatively impact the debtor's credit report quickly.
Credit reporting agencies have since killed that for them. #idpol foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/equi…

6/ The highest scoring Idaho Freedom Foundation legislators voted in lockstep to protect Smith's business. The Idaho Patient Act passed anyway in 2020. Most, if not all who voted to protect Smith's business received money from him or his related businesses at some point. #idpol
7/ Speaking of contributions, Smith's mother, father, and father's lawyer all donated $2,600 to him for his failed 2014 congressional race against Simpson. #idpol
8/ Dale Smith was arrested in 2017 for attempting to murder his own son, Bryan Smith. According to the article, Dale's attorney allegedly helped Bryan track his father so when he arrived in Idaho Falls, they would catch him. #idpol postregister.com/news/local/man…
9/ How awful does one need to be for their own father to want to kill them? There are a lot of unanswered questions surrounding this I hope will get answered soon. #idpol
10/ I have had a few run-ins with Smith. He is representing EmmaLee Robinson, Rep. Christensen's boss in my legal entanglements with Rep. Christensen.
On the recorded call Chad helped set up, she claimed she could not stand Beck and Smith. Yet, Smith is her attorney? #idpol

11/ In 2018 Smith represented Doyle Beck in an alleged legal fishing expedition towards me. It did not go well for Smith. They dropped the case when they did not get what they wanted from me. #idpol
12/ In the video above, Smith says he's brought cases before the court on political issues. I can't recall a single case he's argued before Idaho Supreme Court on behalf of the Idaho Freedom Foundation that he's actually won. #idpol idahostatesman.com/news/politics-…
12/ In summary, it's my opinion that Bryan Smith may not be a good lawyer or remotely qualified candidate for congress. That's putting it mildly... please feel free to share your thoughts on Smith below. #idpol #idleg #idgop #Idaho #dirtydebtcollector #GrafReceipts
