Stephen A. Smith is a loud mouth know-it-all. Anyone one who takes him serious is a brain dead retired. Just look what network he is on. That explains everything.

Never mind that the investigation started under Biden.

He is like Leo Terrell 1.0

Why would that be concerning? Is it illegal, or is it not?

Stephen A Smith is not at all like Al Sharpton

Like Al Sharpton, SAS is a long time nasty, vile leftwing racist...and he's beginning to unmask himself to show his true colors.

“I’m watching a press conference with the director of the FBI. Tell me when we’ve seen that,” Smith said.

Well, there was that famous press conference by Comey when he absolved the Witch of wrongdoing.

Smith must be kind of stupid.

Is the Trump administration supposed to look the other way at crime just because Trump was harassed by the Biden administration?

I’m breaking down the NBA gambling scandal that just broke - Terry Rozier, Chauncey Billups, and 34 others arrested in a massive FBI operation targeting four of the five New York families. I ran 12 bookmakers for 30 years, so I know exactly how this works. Athletes are easy prey - they get in deep, owe money, then we own them. Rozier allegedly faked an injury to help inside bets. Billups was a “face card” luring victims into rigged poker games with X-ray tables and card counting devices. I’ve been warning the NBA, NCAA, and 300+ universities about this for decades. This won’t stop - gambling is too lucrative and the mob is too smart. Here’s the real story behind Operation Zen Diagram and Operation Nothing But Net from someone who lived it. -— Michael Franzese
