Republicans do not want to hear Jack Smith in an open hearing...

[Mr. Ected]

28. I'm afraid that the spin machine will ensure that Smith's words and intentions would be twisted

And very few minds would be changed in the final accounting.

We not only have a political and cultural menace in the White House, we have a media that cowers to him and his sycophants. We cannot trust that Jack Smith's testimony would be accurately conveyed to the American people. Those of us who keep up know the score. But most Americans do not keep up or are hopelessly brainwashed at this point.

These are not normal times. In normal times, public testimony would reap benefits. In this bizarro timeline, the effect will be dampened and muddied. Not a reason not to do it, but don't expect a sea change in public opinion because of it.
