26. Oh, I sure agree! Jamie Raskin has weathered so much, but he not only keeps going and is a constitutional scholar

He is not only articulate, knows his stuff and speaks well, but he's also willing to speak out! And we've seen that coming from him over and over, especially now. We've heard him calling for the Epstein files to be released as well as Jack Smith's final report.

And so I'm sure hoping that you're right, that Jack Smith's report will finally be made public. He is also extremely capable and I have no doubt that he did a complete job. Certainly the public deserves to see his report which was the point of his efforts and we know that he asked to speak publicly but was stymied by Republican Trump loyalists. It would be ideal if it came out before November 2026, but then it sure might help Democrats sweep the midterms. *fingers crossed*
