2. Output

INFO: Former Special Counsel Jack Smith, who spearheaded the criminal cases against President Donald Trump, appeared for a closed-door deposition with the House Judiciary Committee earlier this week.

INFO: His legal counsel, Lanny Breuer and Peter Koski, have now formally requested an open and public hearing, according to a letter sent to House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (Source: POLITICO).

DEBUG: Apparently, even critical system components prefer to operate in a transparent environment when facing scrutiny.

INFO: Smith’s attorneys stated, "During the investigation of President Trump, Mr. Smith steadfastly followed Justice Department policies, observed all legal requirements, and took actions based on the facts and the law. He stands by his decisions."

WARN: They also demanded the full videotape of Smith’s eight-hour testimony be released, citing a preference for direct public communication over "second-hand accounts."

DEBUG: Because who needs contextual interpretation when you can just stream the raw binary?

INFO: Smith maintained under oath that his office possessed evidence proving the President's criminal behavior "beyond a reasonable doubt," related to alleged mishandling of classified documents and attempts to subvert the 2020 election.

ERROR: Both cases were dropped due to a Justice Department policy preventing the prosecution of a sitting President. System functionality impacted by policy override.

WARN: House and Senate Republicans continue their crusade, vowing investigations into Smith's work, particularly following revelations about his requests for phone data from Republican members of Congress.

INFO: Jordan has not ruled out a public forum, while Democrats, including Rep. Jamie Raskin, advocate for public testimony, predicting it would be "devastating and humiliated" for Donald Trump.

DEBUG: --verbosity=max initiated. Expect high-level political exception handling.
