He appeared before the Grand Jury in Miami today. Now he's on Twitter saying it's a witch hunt, and Jack Smith is just trying to get Trump for bogus reasons.
Doesn't putting a treasonous idiot like him before a Grand Jury pose problems to Smith's case? He's obviously not a cooperating witness. If the Grand Jury hears those comments, I hope it doesn't cause doubt.

Think about how Trump's attorneys during the election fraud bullshit were out in front of friendly cameras spouting insane things about the election. In court, where they could actually face consequences, they said and did very little.
I doubt Smith would be reckless enough to put anyone in front of the Grand Jury that could actually hurt the case he has been working on the last several months.

(576 posts)this guy would not have been called to testify if Smith knew he was going to have this attitude. More than likely Smith already knows from other witnesses this person was involved so using him to confirm aspects of the case. If he went in and lied then he opens himself up to perjury charges. Trump is not worth going to jail for.
