I don’t care if you support Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis or the Easter Bunny, any American who doesn’t realize the tenuous future of our union, after reviewing the information within this testimony, is going to forever live in a collapsed dystopian nightmare, if they vote for any political representative who supports it.
The House Judiciary Committee has released the [VIDEO] and [TRANSCRIPT] of special prosecutor Jack Smith’s deposition. What is outlined within it is alarming in the extreme. I strongly urge anyone with any platform to review the details and quickly highlight the content therein. There is no time to waste.
[TRANSCRIPT HERE]
Jack Smith appeared before the committee with three personal lawyers to support him. The content of the deposition is chilling in the extreme. While many will focus on the granular details of the testimony, I wish to highlight one of the more alarming aspects to the bigger picture.
The predicate for Jack Smith to prosecute President Trump for his efforts to “interfere in the 2020 election”, and thereby “challenge all democratic norms”, essentially boils down to Jack Smith accusing President Trump of participating in a fraud when he challenged the outcome of the 2020 election.
To get beyond President Trump’s first amendment right to free speech, Jack Smith claims Trump knowingly understood that Joe Biden had won the election; President Trump was told by senior Republican advisors that Biden had legitimately won the 2020 election; President Trump rejected the reality of the “truthful information” presented to him, and instead chose to launch a psychological operation against the American people, i.e. “fraud.”
It is the charge of “fraud” which underpins the entirety of the case against Donald Trump, as pursued by Jack Smith. The charge itself is predicated on definitions of what constitutes truthful information, and within that subset of predicate you begin to realize just how important it is to professional leftists that they control information.
The case was dropped after the results of the November 2024 election, won by President Trump. However, if President Trump had not won that election, the prosecution would have continued.
Jack Smith notes in his testimony, in the most Machiavellian way, that his primary prosecution approach was to present “Republican” witnesses like Mike Pence, who Smith cunningly said he could not discuss as he was restricted from revealing grand jury testimony.
Smith was prepared to present witness testimony from Pence and other political “Republicans” who told President Trump that Joe Biden had legitimately won the election, and Trump needed to concede. This testimony then forms the baseline for the definition of “truthful information” that Trump rejected out of a malice mindset to continue clinging to power.
In essence, Smith defines what is “truth” (Biden won), then outlines how that truthful information was delivered and how President Trump dismissed it. Therefore, President Trump’s “mens-rea”, or state of mind, was one of promoting an intentional falsehood. According to the Lawfare approach selected by Smith, this mindset is the predicate that blocks President Trump from using his First Amendment right to speech as a defense.
Intentional fraud is not allowed under the protections of “free speech.” Jack Smith wanted to prove that President Trump was engaged in intentional fraud, and wanted to prove his mindset therein through the use of Republican political voices who delivered information to President Trump.
Jack Smith sought to define “truth”, and then counter the free speech defense by mob agreement on what constitutes the “truth.” Under this predicate, President Trump was being prosecuted for a thought crime, and Jack Smith sought to legally prove he knew his thoughts.
The only way Jack Smith could prove fraud would be to prove that President Trump believed the information about Joe Biden winning the election. Smith sought to prove Trump’s belief by presenting Republican voices who told President Trump he lost.
Whether you like or dislike President Trump, the issue here is alarming when contemplated.
A man tells you a chicken is a frog, you laugh. The man then brings 15 of your family members to tell you a chicken is a frog. You reject the absurdity of the premise, but the man brings forth hundreds more people to tell you the chicken is a frog, and if you do not accept that Chickens are Frogs, you will be defined as mentally impaired, institutionalized and become a ward of the state.
[Insert any similar metaphor needed, including “what is a woman.”]
When we consider the current state of sociological, societal or government manipulation of information, and/or the need for government to control information (mis-dis-mal-information) as an overlay, you can quickly see where this type of legal predicate can take us. Bizarro world becomes a dystopian nightmare.
Yes, it is also clear that Leftists, inside that closed-door committee hearing, are intending to impeach President Trump on these grounds if they successfully win the 2026 midterm election. However, that is not the critical takeaway from this deposition. Instead, the critical takeaway is how the Lawfare construct can be twisted and manipulated to create the legal means to the leftist ends.
Stop the Division!
We cannot allow these communist, Marxist and leftist-minded control agents get back into power.
It’s not about Trump. It’s about us.
Intentional fraud is not allowed under the protections of “free speech.”
This would have been an interesting development had the courts accepted this notion.
Imagine if it were used to impeach those who have engaged in “lawfare” before the courts.
It seems possible, if applied to the 2000 presidential election, we may have had a President Ralph Nader.
Demon.
for all to see

As Lenin put it: We will sell them the rope by which they will hang. Same principle here. Marxist anti human totalitarians at their finest.
Sundance, thank you for reviewing this deposition. I tried to watch it and literally felt like I wanted to throw up in my mouth. This man is sickeningly despicable and no longer in possession of his soul.
I wholeheartedly agree, we have to stop all division. The monster is much bigger than Jack Smith and all the other players embedded in corruption. Trump is the only one, self-chosen god supported entity who can and will bring down this balrog of many tentacles trying to destroy America.
Trump is the only one who has ever attempted to stand against it. He may not be successful due to the breadth and depth of the evil but he has dented it and shone light upon the beast.
THANK YOU SUNDANCE! This is critical for all of us to understand. If we allow the Democrats to return to power regardless of the reason, we will return to the legislative insanity under Biden where a Supreme does not know what a woman is. They WILL turn the legal system against all who are sane, heterosexual and conservative, not just Bannon and Navarro.
We are all disappointed that the deportations are being thwarted and minimal, that election integrity is barely changed and that wars in the ME, Ukraine and Venezuela are afoot. We all want the H1Bs gone and the Chinese students and the illegal non-English speaking drivers with them. Those things are important but this is not the time to whack the GOP for being chronic underachievers. The communists are worse, much worse and they already went to far last time they were in power.
They will throttle the internet, banking, our ability to express our thoughts in all venues, if given another chance.
That WOMAN that gibberish joe installed on the court BECAUSE she is a WOMAN, but isn’t smart enough to know what a WOMAN is probably doesn’t know what a dog is, either because she isn’t a veterinarian.
having watched the “testimony” twice and read the transcripts twice, one particular subject seems to stand out more than any other.
when asked, Smith, refused to discuss even basically the gist of the so called classified materials that were removed from MAL? (is that even true there was class material removed….said a different way, how can we be certain the FBI literally made up the entire thing as a trap, and then put a classification lid on it?)
what I find amusing is that Smith would have you believe the nature of this classmat was of such national security significance that he could not discuss it.
and this raises a series of different but related questions:
a. given Smith was able to hide his predicate evidence to a judge for surveillance toward President Trump and also these senators, to what extent if any did Smith have any materials before him other than allegations, assumptions that a crime had been committed? what material was he able to show a grand jury for instance? if the class mat was the smoking gun, what did it contain, even generally in a redacted way. what judge was given “in camera” access to evaluate the Smith claims?
b. to be clear, it has been my understanding (although admittedly I cannot conclusively prove it) that the classified material that President Trump had in his possession was materials that could be used to support in a court of law that the secret police spy state did in fact conduct all manner of other unlawful conduct toward him, up to and including their first victim, LTGEN FLYNN AND BEFORE HIM THE DETAILS OF HOW CARTER PAGE (AND OTHERS) were used criminally whether wittingly or not, to effect a direct probe into President Trump and to assert falsely the entire Russia Russia hoax/fraud. That is what I believe President had in his possession. That is what I believe was of such enormous liability to the secret police spy state…which explains the unparalleled magnitude of this removal of such materials and then to conduct a limited hangout psypop through the media and then through the courts to justify why they had gotten rubber stamps from FISA court judges to spy on him on the first place. This has always been my assumption…that President Trump had material evidence that could not only protect his claims, but could also be used into the future to bring charges against the criminals based on this evidence. Thus is becomes r, the real reason why the RAID happened AND THEN WHY THE POLICE STATE IMMEDIATELY DECLARED A LITERAL BLACK OUT TO NEVER DISCUSS THE MATERIALS…even in general terms.
based on his, I believe that President Trump has a responsibility and has the power right now to declassify all of the MAL materials. all of it, and then with purpose convene a insurrection military tribunal and begin putting cases on all the people involved in the MAL raid, all of the people, including judges who signed off on the warrant (if there actually was a warrant).
secondly, another twist in this “testimony” is how Smith described openly that he could and it was normal and acceptable to get a warrant from a judge without the need to advise said judge that the targets are congressional members. That’s insane. If this is true, it’s not a stretch to also understand the same method to conceal criminal conduct and purpose from a FISA judge in surveilling anyone.
and this gives me great anxiety over the development and result of the next FISA 702 “law”. if the mere suggestion without any claims that can be reviewed can be passed through FISA or even a regular court for the purposes of avoiding constitutional prohibitions of unlawful search and seizure are so casually and regularly repeated, is it not true that the worse aspects of the FISA abuse is now and has been for quite a long time fully in the power of unelected people who will never face consequences for curb stomping the constitution?
we must get very focused on the renewal FISA. nothing less than a complete overhaul and dropping the entire 702 power is acceptable. it must be returned to its original intent: surveillance and security collection against NON US CITIZENS NO ON US SOIL. All other legal warrants to conduct security and surveillance must be established by the normal court process, with evidence and the subject target ADVISED OF HIS RIGHTS TO KNOW A SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM AGAINST HIM/HER IS OCCURRING>>>A RIGHT TO KNOW THE EVIDENCE USED AND THE RIGHT TO APPEAL AND DEFEND AGAINST SUCH SEARCH AND SEIZURE.
God Bless America
The only questionable victim in my mind is Carter Page. Was he a victim or part of the conspiracy? His ties to intelligence community and his patriotism may have led him to drink the Kool Aid and be part of the plot.
I have the same suspicions. But he can be a useful idiot IF this administration decides to unredact and release the entire tranche of classmat that was seized by the FBI. One could make the evidence more clearly about the involvement whether wittingly or not, Carter Page. Should it show his involvement was more than the simplified version that was packaged, it stands he could be facing serious felony charges for perjury, before Congress and before at least two grand jury testimony’s. In that case, it could be that the entire Russia Russia hoax could be legally challenged simply by forcing a plea from Carter page in exchange for a lighter sentence.
of course, this involves DOJ actually doing anything and moving toward being serious and focused on this matter…..sigh….I’m not holding my breath.
but regardless, unredacting the classmat, publishing it has much more value to me than not. It would make it more clear what that material contained and why the secret police state was so alarmed they have to perform a panty raid.
God Bless America

Fraud allegations are the most over-used accusations in civil suits as well. They should be subject to highly punitive sanctions when they are disproven. The same culprits are responsible for both instances- people that believe they can ascertain the motives of other people. Outside of written proof or first-hand witnesses, lawyers should be downright scared of accusing anyone of fraud. Using a fraud accusation as a form of “piling on” is bad enough, but using it to form a novel legal theory, as Smith did, deserves jail time.
