You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they don’t want to do that. I wonder why?

I'd the 8 are bullshit artists that do not have a case.

$$, other bribes

Just found out that you used to be (may still are?) a lawyer before turning journalist. Very cool
-
There such corrupt dicks
-
They know, they will need that 1 million for legal fees they are about to incur.
-
Where are Swalwell, Schiff, et. al. - they got more than that from them in 2017... www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...
Trump's DOJ secretly obtained phone and text message logs of 43 congressional staffers and 2 members of Congress
The Justice Department's investigations into leaks of classified information were far broader than previously known, according to the department's internal watchdog.
-
A bribe to stay the course.
-
Show me the money! Says the greedy felon loving pedophile protectors😂
-
They just want to exploit the lawsuit madness of dtrumpf and steal more of our tax dollars
If Jack Smith did something wrong then drag him into court
They won’t because of what Smith knows
-
Hiw stinking, greedy Republican of them.
-
If they don’t the Dems should.
-
Its all about the benjamins!!! Guilty people dont get them......wait yea they do if they suck trumps *ss
-
Because they are corrupted senators Donald put the idea in their head, to defraud the taxpayers.
-
I really hate to play this card because it is despicable but so are these Republicans
They showed pornographic pictures of HB during that investigation but this is horrible for them.
-
❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
-
Those senate grifters are stealing yet more money from the taxpayers with their claims of ‘damage’. Talk about mountains and molehills.
-
It is a rip off of the American people. All those taxes being paid for crap like that!!
-
Sounds like they'll get over it soon enough
-
cough cough
-
Will it ever end? I long for the day when you could just live your life for a few hours without worrying about our government squandering all of our tax dollars, destroying our democracy and rapping children!
-
cash, cash, cash, can do anything well.
they have no respectability. nothing about them deserves our respect. they are void of honor.
-
because they are turds? i mean it’s overwhelmingly obvious why they do what they do. just tell it like it is
-
I thought it was protocol to gain data access in an investigation of criminal activity…. I mean, it is for EVERYONE ELSE BUT THEM!
-
Because a friendly justice dept will settle with them for half of the ask. EZ $
-
Trump is a pedo. Nothing more.
-
They got their millions though. Millions of taxpayer dollars without even walking into a courtroom and providing evidence of wrong doing. I call that criminal embezzlement.
Don't Boo #VoteBlue for #Accountability #Affordability #ResistPeacefully #NoKings #ImpeachTrump 💙🇺🇸

Maybe, and I'm just spitballing here, they're afraid of what he recorded... ♟️
-
Oh I know cause they were doing crimes and probably are still doing it.
-
Release the phone data. I am sure it will show they were involved
-
Jack has details bsky.app/profile/chri...
-
i swear, absolutely EVERYTHING they do is fully transparent. and not in a good way. everyone in the republican party starting with the orange shit stain thinks every one is fucking stupid. such an old schtick. some of they're own voters are catching on. finally.
-
That is outrageous what a bunch of grifters
-
🤬🤬🤬 Let Jack Speak !
-
No. They just want a million dollars they don’t deserve. Just like trump wanting $230 million from the DOJ he doesn’t deserve. I’m pretty sure Pam gave it to him. We just haven’t heard it yet.
-
If they’re suing, then make them testify in front of a jury. No instant payday. You’re not dear leader.
-
Can’t someone else bring him in?
-
#ACTION Now is the time to call your congressperson (house rep) and tell them you will be watching their vote next week regarding release of the Epstein files. We will be watching to see if they vote to protect pedophiles — or not.
-
Wouldn't that have to come out in discovery?
-
Love your rhetorical questions.
-
Highway robbery!!!!
-
I'd say in the future we need to hear his testimony in court during a lawsuit by the people to get this money returned
-
Simple, it's a "Free for All!" Republicans want to pocket as much as they can before Trump goes to prison.
-
Jack wants to testify PUBLICLY. Yet they want it behind closed doors. Hmmmm. That is all you need to know.
-
If this shit passes we are such a really, really F’d up country!
-
Russian agents. I may not have the FBI’s budget, but I do have more common sense.
-
But if they sue to get that money, wouldn't that be brought up in court?
-
Excellent point.
-
Amen
-
Ca-ching …. The Republican song of choice and the name of their religion.
-
They figured if tRump could sue and get money then so could they.
-
They might be out of a job soon so they want to be prepared lol. If dump goes down some of them might go down too.
-
All Nazi bastards
-
Someone needs to write a song titled: Transparency
-
They want m o n e y
-
Very, very, very CLEAN resolution. So clean. Simple & clean.
-
-
It’s half a million apiece, but it’s still outrageous.
-
Perhaps all the truth tellers, judges & journalists who’ve been doxed could put in a counter claim ?
-
Another disgusting GOP money grab. So they won’t complain when Trump reaches into our treasury for his $230 million.
-
Ron gets so many likes I bet he just puts his phone in a drawer after every post. He's like "fuck man"
-
-
Shame. Fuck each and every one.
-
Precisely
-
-
Brainless people are more inclined towards litigation than individuals who have critical thinking skills.
Jack Smith isn’t one to “spill the beans” on a case he is working on. That’s why he’s so successful.
-
When the democrats win back the house, I'm sure they'll open an investigation.
-
Just want to take the money and run
-
Grasping Old Poops.
-
-
These 8 senators are just straight-up stealing $$$ from the US government and the American people. They don’t want to be put out at all in the effort.
MAGA is engaged in the greatest heist in global history. MAGA & the oligarchs may literally be stealing more money than all other thefts combined.
-
8 Republican GOP Senators belong in Prison. The freaking arrogance from these Senators is beyond Criminal.
-
What a great post!!!! #nailedit
-
It’s Jack. Prosecutor of war criminals.
-
They all want to wait until we forget and then file suit for that sweet, sweet, sweet taxpayer cash-out. It’s not enough that they got away with it, these fucks want to get paid as the icing on the treason cake.
-
Faux outrage is all they do
-
Smells like Sedition.
-
Well I think that those 8 Senators owe us taxpayers at least $10,000. Dollars each for stealing all our data from social security!!!! Because they sanctioned it without consent!
-
Afraid
-
The max penalty for treason is death.
-
I'd love to see this backfire on them.
-
Are they suing, it would have to go to court and there will be discovery right?
-
I figure they need that money to pay for the lawyers their asses are going to need in a few months.
-
These were the senators that Trump called during the Jan 6th insurrection as it was happening.
-
Corruption equals law and order for GOP Senators defending pedophiles.
-
The looting is out of control, and when the thieves no longer sit in the White House and Congress, we need to ensure at all costs that no one like Merrick Garland is appointed to investigate their crimes.
We desperately need to hold people accountable.

Republicans: what happened to you? 
YouTube video by Fr David
-
This is one of the most corrupt acts by any administration in history, but there are literally dozens of such examples of that now
But Trump awarding himself $230mil because he got investigated for committing crimes he definitely committed…. THAT is THE most corrupt act in history, by a long way.
-
these GOP senators are NOT about law and order and investigating what happened and who was involved on Jan 6.
-
Yeh, I wonder why?
-
Can someone explain to me how the Senate can legally impose a monetary penalty (that WE will pay) for a Special Prosecutor doing his job and getting a court order for phone records of suspects in a crime? And back date it?
Then the GOP members in the House squawk about it but pass it anyway.
-
A slippery slope, indeed.
-
Who are these fools?
-
Chuck Grassley, why did he think he was going to preside over the electoral college?
-
Yet another despicable cash grab for these fuckers.
-
It shouldn’t surprise me at this point but we have senators who are significantly more interested in grifting and stealing money from taxpayers rather than fund food security for their constituents.
-
Probably the same reason tRUMP hasn't escalated threats of lawsuits regarding allegations of his possible sexual encounters with under-age girls in the Epstein Files.
-
What a bunch of criminals.
-
Not only does GOP stand for Guardians Of Pedophiles, it also stands for Greedy Old Pricks.
-
I think its disgusting
-
I also need a million dollars and im telling you all I can't tell you why but its super important for nat security so give it now.
-
Explain this to me like I draw silhouette of women in creepy birthday cards
-
BOOM. EXACTLY
ASK.MEDIA, over and over and over
-
What are they hiding?
-
Rats getting the money before the Trump ship goes down
-
Who are those 8 senators again?
Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham, Bill Hagerty, Josh Hawley, Dan Sullivan, Tommy Tuberville, Ron Johnson, Cynthia Lummis and Marsha Blackburn
-
While their constituents were struggling they were finding a way to get taxpayers dollars into their pockets!
-
Musk and his band of hackers stole our private information from the government!
-
They will never let Jack Smith within 50 miles of the capital building to testify. He’s got the goods. It was a conspiracy to overthrow the government, hands-down. And these eight scumbags were part of it. And now they want the American people to pay them for their treasonous crimes?
-
Someone needs to put a nice ad in the Washington Post about these eight GOP senators taking a handout from us a million dollars each for nothing
-
Secrecy to protect their butts
They can’t lie also
-
Didn’t they use the Patriot Avct to get the phone records? The same Act that the GOP voted for and some of them possible? Whereby the government could spy on citizens suspected of IDK, whatever they decided was not ok? Isn’t this the act they used?
-
Because…… It’s a reward to his people, if they have to be subjected to any investigation. It’s a pinky promise. Moving forward “just in case we get another coup”, he will reward all who help the movement. This is why he’s pardoning those people now. IMO
-
They can't handle the truth!
-
$1mm paydays since DOJ won’t fight and the money will be paid out fast
-
Unconstitutional orders issued by a so-called commander-in-chief who paid a doctor to pretend he had bone spurs to avoid serving his country, and calls military personnel, shuckers and losers, should not be obeyed. He is unfit to serve as commander-in-chief.
-
Instead we should be prosecuting them for their unambiguous involvement in Trump's Jan 6th insurrection attempt.
Which is exactly what a real Department of Justice would do.
-
Given that they don’t earn their excessive salaries with benefits, do we really want let suck up more tax money?
-
Another scam
-
They’re outraged BECAUSE THEY ARE HIDING SOMETHING!!!
-
No hearing before the checks are issued?
-
Someone should!
-
I wonder why Democrats aren't SO OUTRAGED about Trump inviting the head of Al-Qaeda to the White House.
Until I realized Democrats are able to fake outrage only whem they're paid to do it.
-
Hmmmmm …
-
Cha-Ching $
-
Probably, Jack Smith was charged with finding out if any senators were working with insurrectionists.
-
Discovery?
-
Why don't democrats senators do that?
-
Very good point. We owe those 8 GOP senators nothing. They were trying to sway government officials to lie and cheat.
-
Gosh! Why not bring him in and give him a piece of your mind, and listen to a piece of his...?
-
$$$$$$$....that's all they care about
-
trump is rewarding his most loyal henchmen
-
-
They don't deserve a penny, they deserve to be unemployed.
-
-
Inquiring minds want to know!!
-
The public deserves to hear Jack Smith’s testimony in Senate hearings. How much evidence does he have against Trump. This whole thing smells of a coverup & more corruption by republicans.
-
How odd … strange
-
The Trump grift on the taxpayer teet.
-
Discovery will be fun.
-
It is astounding that Thune stuck that in a bill. It better not happen
-
Shouldn’t everything be in the open with a job like that?
-
RoJo the Clown Johnson from Wisconsin was the Kingpin in the 2020 Fake Electors scheme in Wisconsin. Jack Smith has all that evidence. Let Smith testify.
-
Good point. No, excellent point. Damn, I wish I had said that
-
Dems should definitely bring him in to explain.
-
They just want the money -- not to make themselves look bad!
-
there better be a trial to determine if they are owed a cent of our money…they should probably all be in jail, let’s hear what smith has to say
-
Yup! Exactly this
-
Weren't they asking for 500,000 at first?
-
Yes, wonder why? Corruption at the top trickles down.
-
All Americans who had their data exposed to Trump and Musk, Doge, should each qualify for a million dollars.
-
Because he would describe the predicate facts upon which the lawful subpoenas and/or search warrants were issued to the account holders without notice (which also was lawful)?
-
Is all corruption cash out! They know it was legal, they just want to cash out so they have money to escape jail. They think this is Monopoly and they can buy a get out of jail free card!
-
They keep lying saying that their phones were tapped. No one was listening in on their conversations. Subpoenas covered only records of calls in and calls out and their duration.
-
Because morally they are corrupted, the only thing they care about is their own power and would sell their souls for just a little bit more.
-
That is total bullshit. They don’t get to just randomly decide their settlement. If in fact, any of it’s true they need to bring it to court and go through the proper procedures like the rest of us would have to if we were asking for a settlement if we felt we were wronged in someway
-
They know why!
-
Maybe he can tell it to the judge after the suits are filed?
-
Someone said, regarding an investigation, that they wouldn’t have been notified because it was an…investigation. Oh, it was Jason Kander. Is there a law requiring they be notified?
-
They would rather whine and bank $$$$$
-
Corruption following the trump lead on how to get a payday. They're public servants and should be investigated including their phone records just like celery other citizen suspected of crimes.
-
Because they are guilty
-
👏💯 yeah , they don't want there dirty laundry out in the Open.
-
Ffs. The Dems should just hold their own fn hearing and have smith testify.
-
All these MAGA Republicans are crooks, stealing hard-earned money from taxpayers. Then will complain that we can't fund Medicare or healthcare.
-
Wouldn’t that be due process so he could face his accusations and challenge why they should be paid a civil penalty???
-
I would love for the Republicans to ask Jack Smith to testify! I really like & respect him so much!
-
Like how Donald never sues for defamation when someone calls him a fraud, racist, or rapist. And we know he’s quick to litigate anything and everything. Weird.
-
Oh, they want to be compensated for their inconvenience of being legally charged, for valid crimes, but got away from being prosecuted because il douche stopped our justice system? Fu@k US!😞
-
Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection and Other Rights Section 3 Disqualification from Holding Office No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who,
-
Can the Democrats have him come in to testify?
-
Because discovery in court proceedings is public record?
-
Why would they do that, if they can just raid the treasury and pad their pockets with taxpayer money?
Corrupt as they come. All need to be replaced at next election.
-
If a president can pardon himself, he can commit any federal crime with impunity. He can counterfeit money, engage in piracy, murder the First Lady in the White House, then burn down the White House itself. If the legal outcome is absurd, the legal theory is wrong.
-
Its a new angle and tactic by the GOP. I did wrong, would be found guilty but because you accused me or interfered in my criminal acts I want compensation when we instruct the DOJ to do our bidding
-
They helped plan Jan 6th FOR A GOD DAMNED CHILD RAPER
-
Because they are TRAITORS to America 🇺🇸 and they know it!
-
Full disclosure.
-
The GOP Senators are Corrupt.
-
I wasn't Lady G phone records ..give him $50
-
- was threatening to not do. In Jan the repugs will be forced to vote on the ACA credits and all the magas who've lost or can't afford Healthcare will know who's to blame. So STOP THE INFIGHTING RIGHT NOW because you are hurting MY party. Knock it off!!!
-
- STOP IT!!!! The repugs were NOT going to continue ACA credits. Schumer managed to get the dems to hold off until after elections. What he got was snap, all people laid off rehired, and EVERYONE getting backpay, which trump
-
Fear!
-
Let’s ask him. And Lindsay Graham why he wants to steal from American taxpayers???
-
We all know why
-
Trump was President on January 6th! Smith wasn't appointed until long after! They basically want us to pay them for their sedition!
-
Discovery perchance?🤔
-
One of life's great mysteries.
-
No No don’t tell me…
-
Its closer to $2M from an analysis the other day. For checking who they called during Jan 6, supposedly w/o access to the actual conversation.
-
Why can’t he just release the info he amassed?
-
Marsha Blackburn, who admitted she was going to vote to overturn the election BEFORE Trump unleashed the mob and then reversed her position AFTERWARDS only to make a final course correction when the GOP finally embraced fascism, now thinks the law should look away because the coup was unsuccessful.
-
Trump downplayed the pandemic My hubs lost his job because of Covid I want a million dollars as compensation
Is that how this works?
-
Because they know their suit is BS...
-
Enquiring minds would like to know?
-
This is the most corupt stunt I have ever heard of. As an American I am sueing Trump and Administration for the emotional pain and suffering of the Shutdown- and just the general shit they have done to me all year. Anyone wanna join me? Class Action Suit? @marcelias.bsky.social Can you help?
-
If donnie dotard has immunity for doing his duty, like that'll ever happen, how can a prior DOJ be charged millions for doing their jobs? Especially since they're not in office any more? No settlement without a trial, or are we a Banana Republic ring of thieves now?
-
They committed crimes against the USA.
-
Could be more. It's $500k (x2) PER PHONE. So if records were requested for their personal phone and office phone (and more?) - ka-ching!!!
And Mike Kelly from the House must be pissed that the Senate folks didn't include House folks too 🤣
-
Because private testimony would allow GOP to better control the narrative???????????
