I am shocked that they won't allow cameras.

"They should allow Jack Smith to testify in public. Every special counsel report has been released. And every special counsel or independent counsel has testified in public. So, yeah, they are trying to get him on the fast road to one of their ridiculous prosecutions," Raskin said.

"Republicans don't want to go along with it because they want to get him into a backroom and then cherry-pick statements, distort them, leak them, spin them," Raskin added.

When asked whether there was a reason why the DOJ shouldn’t publish Smith’s full work, Republicans pointed to the order that had originally blocked Volume II, as well as ongoing adjudication over its release.



They will cover it up and as the article states, they will cherry pick what can be released. BS!
