The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

“During the deposition, which was held on December 17, lawmakers questioned Smith extensively about two criminal investigations into Trump. One probe was focused on the handling of classified documents, while the other examined Trump's alleged efforts overturn the results of his election loss to President Joe Biden in the run-up to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.”

At one point, Smith appeared to admit that he didn't have any solid evidence that Trump directly encouraged the Capitol breach, but he still insisted Trump was responsible.

SNIP
“August 2023, Smith charged Trump with conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Prosecutors alleged Trump and his allies knowingly promoted election fraud lies in a bid to push state officials to overturn Biden’s win and pressure then-Vice President Mike Pence to disrupt the ceremonial counting of electoral votes.”

Smith later moved to drop the case after Trump won reelection in 2024.

Snip
“In a separate prosecution, Smith charged Trump in June 2023 with illegally retaining classified documents he took from the White House to Mar-a-Lago after he left office in January 2021, and then obstructing government demands to give them back. Prosecutors filed additional charges the following month, accusing Trump of showing a Pentagon “plan of attack” to visitors at his golf club in New Jersey.”

Smith also moved to drop that case after Trump's election victory.

And so it goes, he said, she said, they said.

Waste of time and taxpayer money.
