Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) is facing accusations he tried to launch a conspiracy tying former special counsel Jack Smith to others who prosecuted President Trump — a line of questioning that unwound when the senator apparently confused two basketball teams.

…

“Somebody didn’t do their homework,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) told The Hill.

“I’m a trial lawyer by profession. You get it right, or don’t do it.”

    Hey now, I feel like the good senator, E. Schmitt should be given a chance to explain himself. {what’s that, you say he was given the chance, but declined to explain?} Right, ok, well, he’s a little putz who can’t even explain when he makes a mistake, nor can he apologize instead falling back on name calling. truly ROTFLOL. What a self own!

      This is typical behavior for a malignant narcissist. They’re always right, you’re always wrong, and if you point out they’re wrong somehow they’ll turn it around and blame you.

      His lackluster, average American reading level response:

      “We had information, of course, about him being at a basketball game,” the Missouri Republican told Nexstar affiliate KTVI St. Louis later Tuesday. “The only NBA game going on that night was in Atlanta on Feb. 2 of 2024. His team had talked about that. He answered the question.”

      “My job is to ask the questions, and his job is to answer the questions,” he added.

        It turns out that the community long found on Reddit and also in the Fediverse is totally wrong.

        There ARE some stupid questions.

          I know it’s not just me? I mean if it was my job to ask questions of possibly The Top Prosecutor in the country, I sure would want to make sure to ask the right questions. Schmitt made himself a laughing stock. smh
