The Conservative Cave

Same way any leftist scum "knows" anything...

Jack Smith, the illegally appointed Special Prosecutor whom Biden's Justice Department sicced on Donald Trump, is a perjurer.

That should surprise nobody; for years now it has been obvious that he is a partisan hack with a burning desire to take down Donald Trump, which is why the Justice Department violated its own rules (eventually destroying their case) in order to appoint him. They knew they could count on him to break any rule, tell any lie, and cross every ethical boundary to get his man.

Well, now he has been caught violating the rights of Congressmen, the Constitution's Speech and Debate Clause, and committing actual perjury before Congress.
...
The revelation comes from Senator Grassley, who despite his advanced age, is still doing great work ferreting out wrongdoing. It was known for a while that Smith had played fast and loose with the rules and had dipped into text messages without following them, but Smith had denied that his fishing expedition had invaded the privacy of any Congressmen, which would not just be a no-no, but a quadruple no-no.

Except...he did, and Grassley has the proof. And the list is loooonnnnngggggg.

Former Special Prosecutor Jack Smith spied on messages belonging to 44 members of Congress, according to new documents released on Tuesday, contrary to testimony he previously delivered under oath.

The Justice Department disclosed the bombshell revelation in a letter addressed to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), saying that Smith's team seized communication that included text messages between members of Congress and White House staffers who served during President Donald Trump's first term in office.

The department said that Smith's office had been informed that records related to communication by members of Congress “could raise constitutional concerns and might be privileged” but still opted to move forward with mass surveillance.
...
Tuesday's revelation comes less than a year after Smith denied in sworn testimony to the House Judiciary Committee that he had surveilled lawmakers. Asked if the toll records of phone calls and text messages — displaying metadata like time stamps — that he obtained had come with the content of messages, Smith tersely replied, “No.”
...
In the latest disclosure, the Justice Department said Thomas Windom — a member of Smith's team — sought "all text messages" from phones “associated with a long list of White House personnel" between October 2020 and Jan. 20, 202, and he obtained “54 spreadsheets containing the requested White House custodians' text messages” in response.
