Rep. Onder just body slammed Smith on his effort to give Trump's legal team little time to read millions of pages of documents. Smith's response was that he wanted to be sure that Trump got a speedy trial, even though the Trump team was trying to slow down the trial to review his document dump...
...It was a strikingly dishonest moment from Smith, who was clearly pushing for a trial before the election in the view of many of us. Smith insisted that the speedy trial is a public right, but it is not a right that has seemed to motivate him in the past in seeking such a rushed schedule...
...Smith also sought to curtail Trump's usual right to appeal in this mad rush...
...Rep. Michael Baumgartner just delivered a haymaker to Smith by noting that in the the Battle of Bến Tre, a major said famously that it was necessary to destroy a village to save it. He then accused Smith of destroying the rule of law in the name of saving it.
