The House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday released the 255-page transcript and video of the deposition of former special counsel Jack Smith’s deposition before the committee that took place earlier in the month.
During his opening statements, Smith said he and his team "developed powerful evidence that showed that President Trump willfully retained highly classified documents after he left office in January of 2021, storing them at his social club, including in a ballroom and a bathroom. He then repeatedly tried to obstruct justice to conceal his continued retention of those documents."
He later added, "I made my decisions in the investigation without regard to President Trump's political association, activities, beliefs, or candidacy in the 2024 Presidential election. We took our actions based on the facts and the law, the very lessons I learned early in my career as a prosecutor. We followed Justice Department policies and observed legal requirements."
"If asked whether to prosecute a former President based on the same facts today, I would do so regardless of whether that President was a Republican or a Democrat," Smith said.

Jack...Enron! You lied and ruined lives. How he wasn’t disbarred is amazing.
The FBI disagreed.
“FBI did not believe it had probable cause to raid Mar-a-Lago for classified documents, bombshell files show”
Never give up the con.
Of course this @$$h*** has to say this.
He’s under the microscope himself.
... and Joe Biden, Jackazz? What about his Delaware garage? What about Jill’s lingerie drawer? Why were those off limits? You filthy lying leftist POS. You should swing from a lamppost.
Of course he said that.
(filthy lying leftist)
YEP
Yeah, what else would he say? Admit it was all political?
There isn’t any other answer he could give. I’d like to know more about his coordination with the White House and Dems like Fanni Willis, and the reasons for such communications.
Hey Jacko. Get off your butt and go find a girlfriend. PRESIDENT TRUMP kicked you ass into a red light and he’ll do it again, boy.
Jack Smith should be given the Vlad Teppes treatment
What else could he say
What else would he say?
The cases themselves were ridiculous.
Prosecute a former president for having some of his own documents in a locked room?
Or a presidential candidate for contesting an election result?
Idiotic.
“ What else could he say?”
I was pressured into it by Hillary! Yea, that’s it, thats the ticket!
Jack Smith also said during his Congressional testimony that President Trump did NOT have a 1st Amendment Right to say the 2020 election was fraudulent.
No free speech for Trump? This guy is a tyrant!
Jack Off Smith, Lettuce Brain James, Fanni Wuss would prosecute President Trump for hiding the aliens on the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS.
Jack Smith is a prick who ONLY went after Trump because Biden’s cronies told him to. and NO he would NOT go after ANY Democrat, please..so he should go after Joe and Hunter Biden, we all know what they both did with the docs they both had..sold them to the highest bidder, which was China
If Trump doesn’t clean house of Deep State operatives like Blondi, Patel, Todd Blanche, et al, and install people like Ed Martin who will take care of business, Trump will be heading for prison in 2026 and all of MAGA will get the J6 treatment.
This is what happens when you have a lousy AG and FBI director.
You leave these criminals free to come after you for another round.
I am about fed up with it.
