Smith saw fit to cover the story of former national security adviser Michael Flynns Justice Department filing disclosing that hed done $530,000 of lobbying work during the 2016 campaign that may have aided the Turkish government, according to an Associated Press scoop. Flynn was fired from the Trump administration after misleading Vice President Pence about his contacts with the Russian ambassador to the United States before the inauguration.
In introducing AP reporter Julie Bykowicz, who contributed to the scoop, Smith went off:
"Julie, the White House says, Ah, he was a private citizen at the time. But theres been a lot of lying, Julie. And theres been a lot of lying, theres been lying about who you talk to, and by lots of people and almost inevitably and invariably, they were lying about talking to the Russians, about something. Its too much lying and too much Russia and too much smoke. And now theyre investigating. Where are we in this thing?"
