We had a hearing yesterday with the House Judiciary.
Never thought I would so thoroughly enjoy going toe-to-toe with these radical Dems.
Probably because it was like playing basketball against a bunch of first-graders.
This thread is a play-by-play breakdown. 🧵

Jamie Raskin, arch deep-state goblin, was one the first Dems to speak, then me.
I knew he was crafty but also predictable.
He would simply repeat false allegations from the first indictment, mention a grand jury, all to make me look guilty.
I saw it coming a mile away.

My opening statement was written to anticipate this.
While looking directly into Raskin's beady eyes, I explained how everything he stated as fact was totally false.
At this moment, on the other side of camera, his frumpy staffers went into a frenzy (seen in next post).

The paper shuffling and nervous sideways glances went into overdrive when Raskin tried to take on my attorney, Mark Lytle.
It was like an amateur rodeo clown stepping into the ring against a Spanish fighting bull.
Rodeo Clown Raskin ended up getting horned.

This is where you can see Raskin and the person sitting next to him freaking out.
They were frantically flipping pages.
I could literally see the sulfur-smelling sweat starting to drip from his eyebrows.
It was an amazing sight.

I also broke him the news that the primary component of DOJ's case had nothing to do with transgender patients.
Instead, transplant patients!
Textbook weaponization - criminalize pseudo-technicalities to make the case outwardly appear as one thing (i.e. transgender patients) but really it's about another (i.e. transplant patients).
I felt bad for Raskin at this point so I threw him a bone.

Raskin left these exchanges defeated, conceding my beliefs are "sincerely held."
To salvage a sinking ship, Raskin tried to call for backup with on HIS OWN witness, Bruce Lesley.
But Lesley would provide no assistance.
Raskin then changed subjects completely.
Game over.

Later Dan Goldman, tried to pick up the pieces Raskin left behind.
But even this veteran DC bootlicker tripped on his own malarky.
He tried a "got-ya" question but, just like Kamala Harris, entered a vortex of nonsense that resulted in unintelligible word salad.
I pointed this out and Goldman simply changed subjects - an acknowledgment even he had no idea what he just said.

But the Dems were bringing their big guns…
The rank-and-file "follow-the-science" scolds puffed up with their chests as best they could.
But they still didn't want to go head-to-head.
This is where Lesley came in handy - he provided them a way to deflect to a safe place.

A particularly contentious exchange was Rep Jayapal
She actually prepared with a clever line of questioning - a worthy adversary out of a classroom full of dunces.
She tried her best but at the end I landed a solid comeback - a response which she conveniently clipped out of her X post on the exchange.

Halfway through, the Reps left to vote on some bill.
After the break, Scanlon came back with a last ditch hailmary.
What ensued was the most epic takedown of the whole hearing.

Scanlon attempted to go after @V_Sivadge, deploying the overused Dem tactic of credentialism.
Her response was perfection.
The cameras didn't pick this up but Scanlon's faceplant was followed by audible laughter from the entire audience.
They were all laughing at Scanlon.

This is when Scanlon immediately recognized she'd been beat and that her line of questioning was insulting to the entire nursing profession.
She stepped onto a punji trap of her own making!
Like all the other Dems, she pivoted to Lesley when they started to look like fools.

Jokes aside, what the Democrats did during this testimony was manifestly evil.
They used allegations that were completely disproven in order to characterize me as a criminal, to destroy my family, and everything I ever worked for.
These people hoot and holler about " Our Norms" and "Our Democracy" but are more than willing to use the infinite power of the federal government to destroy the lives of innocent people.
The first chance these people get, they will destroy more lives. Trump and all the dissident voters must remain active in order to make sure they never return to power.
