They are after you. Trump is just in the way.
Uh, oh. I’m in trouble
Jack Smith - totalitarian bully - high level thug...an embarrassment to a free people in a first world democracy.
Pretty sure this is what got bunches of people banned on Twitter when they banned the POTUS
You have to know who goes to the reeducation camps.
Garfinkle’s golem.
The Speaker of the House could end all these lawfare acts against Trump if he wanted to, it just takes courage and integrity sprinkled with character.
“U.S. CODE
TITLE 2—THE CONGRESS
CHAPTER 6—CONGRESSIONAL AND COMMITTEE PROCEDURE; INVESTIGATIONS
Sec. 193. Privilege of witnesses
No witness is privileged to refuse to testify to any fact, or to produce any paper, respecting which he shall be examined by either House of Congress, or by any joint committee established by a joint or concurrent resolution of the two Houses of Congress, or by any committee of either House, upon the ground that his testimony to such fact or his production of such paper may tend to disgrace him or otherwise render him infamous.”
Simply look up Hinds Precedents, especially chapters 53 and 51, and Cannon’s Precedents, especially chapters 184-185. You’ll find numerous detailed cases of Congress asserting its power, arresting people, holding them until they agreed to answer questions, and then releasing them. Some of these people did not refuse to appear, but simply failed to satisfactorily answer questions.
Congress has the authority to arrest and imprison those found in Contempt. The power extends throughout the United States and is an inherent power (does not depend upon legislated act)
If found in Contempt the person can be arrested under a warrant of the Speaker of the House of Representatives or President of the Senate, by the respective Sergeant at Arms.
Statutory criminal contempt is an alternative to inherent contempt.
Under the inherent contempt power Congress may imprison a person for a specific period of time or an indefinite period of time, except a person imprisoned by the House of Representatives may not be imprisoned beyond adjournment of a session of Congress.
Imprisonment may be coercive or punitive.

In 1857, a New York Times reporter refused to say which members of Congress had asked him to get them bribes (protecting his “sources” just as various Judith Millers today protect the people who feed them proven lies that costs thousands of lives), so Congress locked him up until he answered and then banned him from Congress.
In 1924 an oil executive appeared but refused to answer certain questions, so the Senate held — literally held — him in contempt. Senator Thomas Walsh of Montana argued that this question of contempt was of the gravest importance, and that it involved “the very life of the effective existence of the House of Representatives of the United States and of the Senate of the United States.” The matter was taken to court, and the witness fined and imprisoned.
And why would he want to know that? So he and ilk can persecute maga supporters? Doesn’t sound very “democratic” of them now does it? Sounds more like the third Reich
I liked them all. Trump rules! Come and get me, you schmuck.
Advantages of not being on social media.......
If you did, will you be identified, incarcerated, and shipped off to the gulag?
What is the purpose of the Democrat Party?
Is it to gather together people so that a search can be made of the members to find the person who is the best fit for a government job? The best person being that person who can get the most effective and efficient use out of every hard earned tax dollar.
Or is the purpose of the Democrat Party something else?
Remember when the media was fawning over Jack Smith because he went to Subway and got a Subway sandwich? Supposedly him going to Subway was sending a message of some sort to Trump?
I never understood that particular meme.
I don’t tweet, but I do have a middle finger for you Jack, in fact I have 2.
I think the real reason communists love cuputer voting machines is so they can suck up everyone’s data and who they voted for. It puts a target on every American’s back. We need to get back to paper they if want to spy on us they will have to read each vote by hand.
Joe would NOT be running again NOR WOULD HIS PARTY ALLOW HIM TO RUN had there'd not already been GUARANTEES THAT THEY'D STEAL IT FOR HIM AGAIN.
The big 2024 STEAL ensures an Obama FOURTH TERM. Permanent banana republic DICTATOR OBAMA via his brain dead proxy puppet Biden.
Think of the scale - they have asked Twitter to make a list of EVERY TIME someone liked or forwarded a tweet from Trump.
Twitter has 500 million tweets PER DAY!!
How many people does DOJ have working on this case to review all this? How much time/resources at Twitter (X) needed to meet this request?
Is this just a punishment directed at Musk/Twitter for their “free speech” stand?
America’s DOJ is PURE - Gestapo / KGB. Truly dangerous.
I think Lara Logan’s tweet summed it up.
Wrong. We do. It's called the 1st and 2nd Amendments, just to start - and it's just a question of having the ballz to use the latter. Thanks, Monica Showalter, but I don't need your dumb azz trying to defend, rationalize, or explain my "likes" on social media. This is clear tyranny.
Jack Smith is the poster child of a coward with power he’s another flunky like Biden and party.
