How on earth does anyone on the US House of Representatives not know who Jack Smith is??? He was obviously trying to be smarmy by minimizing Smith’s position, but only made himself look incredibly stupid and ignorant. My kids and grandkids know who Jack Smith is, and none of them are particularly political.
