Special Counsel Jack Smith Lied To, Spied On Congress– thefederalist.com

EXCERPT:

Public documents newly released by Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson show that Jack Smith spied on Congress as a special counsel, then lied to them about it. It’s the latest in a congressional investigation Grassley says has already uncovered criminal abuse of power by Democrats that is far “worse than Watergate.”

During the Biden Department of Justice’s investigation of Donald Trump under the pretext of prosecuting Jan. 6, 2021, unrest and complaints about 2020 election lawbreaking, Smith’s team ignored required procedures to view text messages written by 44 members of Congress. Yet Smith testified to Congress that he only had obtained “toll records,” or data about the texts, such as timestamps and recipients, not the text content.

Jack Smith explicitly denied under oath during his House Judiciary deposition last December that he reviewed text messages from members of Congress:

Q: “Did the records that you requested from the Member of Congress include the content of text messages?”

Smith: “No.” https://t.co/XLb9lyFXSP pic.twitter.com/jBDSAYYQzD
