6. opposing this pov should require presenting something of substance to dispute it

Thu Jan 16, 2025, 01:29 PM

...as Litman is reading from the Smith report, which puts forward details of the actual case, not the internet fantasy one that thrived when those details were mostly secret.

Now some people want to continue the lies about some inaction by Garland, refuted in the final report, but they should be challenged to present facts in response to the details in Jack Smith's 170-plus page document, not just spout more derision and falsehoods about an investigation they mostly conjured in their misinformed or uninformed heads.
