Chuck Grassley: “In fact, for the entire year of 2005, the Judiciary Committee held only 6 hearings for 15 judicial and circuit nominees.”

Contrary to your misguided statement, the major embarrassment of the hearing was Democrats falling over themselves defending unlawful and unconstitutional actions by Jack Smith.

For the simple reason that the alternative, of a Democrat from Iowa in the United States Senate, is for Chuck Schumer to lead the United States Senate, and you know how disastrous that would be.

I again call on my Democratic colleagues to join my oversight work instead of trying to defend Smith and sweep his abuse of authority under the rug.

Jack Smith should apologize for taking the bank records of 42 Iowans & 4,782 Americans.
