What's wrong with that stance?

You think we should prosecute people who didn't legitimately break the law?

I notice you didn't even try to attempt to answer the question

Also you apparently missed how it doesn't appear Jack Smith broke the law in the clip posted in OP, mind you.

It appears Grasserly is doing a bait and switch using information from an unrelated set of documents (the NARA texts of White House Officials)
I see what you guys are saying. I didn't know about the NARA component.

So Smith can skate perjury by claiming a narrow understanding of the question being asked about captured text messages as pertinent only to the toll records.

The remaining issue is that Smith’s team accessed Congressional texts at all. They reviewed the NARA content without proper filter review. With a team of highly trained lawyers, how could this possibly not comprise willful intent to violate rights?

I had the same thought about a filter team. I saw an X post yesterday showing statistics from a filter team about docs reviewed, filtered and submitted, but I can’t find it today. And I don’t even know if it was the Jack Smith stuff although the commenter, I think Margot Cleveland(?) was talking about the Jack Smith revelations.

I’d like to learn more about the specifics of if he used a filter team and what they did, if anything.

He was asked a specific question about a specific type of documents and his response was correct and truthful within the framing of the question.

Grasserly is trying to be dishonest by using a completely separate group of documents, that have no relationship to the framing of the question asked to Smith, to allege Smith was the dishonest one.

It's not "skating perjury" at all given the totality of the information (specifically the framing of the questions he was asked). He was given specific questions in a specific framing. Any documents, questions, answers, etc. outside of that specific framing aren't relevant and hold no rhetorical value.

Potentially, but that's outside the specific framing/allegations of OP.

Something is going to happen. We all were told he spied on 44 Congress critters.

From Grassley to influencers this story is being whipped into the media again.

It ended with them getting caught getting $500k per line that they were spied on written into the fund that J6thers deserve.

Now you're being silly.

Smith damn well knew where the concerns about Congressional text access were emanating. He damn well knew that access was unauthorized.
Did he tell the "whole truth"? In principle? Of course not!
Legally? Yeah, he'd skate by in that construct, and he knew it.

Which is the kind of awareness making it implausible that this could possibly not be willful intent to violate rights.

But that wasn't the question he was asked, in that clip.

Now we’re imputing intent on “yeah, but” and wanting to prosecute on thoughts and feels because you don’t like the guy?

That’s now how this works. The committee members should have asked better questions if they wanted to pin him down on specific answers.

18 USC § 1001 SOL The statute of limitations (SOL) for a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001 (making false statements to the federal government) is five years.

This time limit is governed by the general federal statute of limitations for non-capital offenses, outlined in 18 USC 3282.The clock begins ticking on the exact date the false statement was made, not when it was discovered by authorities.

During this five-year window, federal prosecutors must formally file an indictment or an information. If this period expires without formal charges, the defendant has an absolute legal bar against prosecution for that specific offense.However, the five-year timeframe can be extended or suspended ("tolled") if certain legal circumstances apply, such as the defendant fleeing the jurisdiction, becoming a fugitive, or if critical evidence must be obtained from a foreign country.

Negative. As I've said, the POS skates on a perjury charge. There is no "yeah, but" from a legal angle.

My question regards the access itself and the subsequent deliberate decision not to inform Congress. How could that not constitute willful intent to violate rights?
