This is beyond a reasonable doubt with your hosts, Mark Geregous and Gary Smith.

BPS, how are you?

I was just lamenting before we got in the air.

It feels like I haven't seen you in a week, maybe two weeks, I don't know.

It has been a minute.

You've been a little busy and therefore

out of the office. And so we've been holding it down in your stead. Thank you. I appreciate that.

And, you know, there's there's a lot of legal stories going on. And I've talked on in other places about

Timothy Busfield. I've talked about Blake lively. Obviously, I'm following the

Alexander Brothers and Tenney closely, but maybe not getting as much attention as I personally

think it should. Are these congressional hearings involving Jack Smith? And do we have, can you call up

one of these? Let's just dive right in. How many days? Mr. Smith, on November 18th, 2022,

A.G. Garland appointed you a special counsel. Can you tell me about your swearing in or the oath

of office that you took after that?

Uh, I don't recall the specifics of it. I know I was sworn in. I don't recall the specifics of how that was done.

You don't remember who swore you in?

I don't.

Would you agree that taking the oath of office is a legal requirement for the job that you had?

I've taken oaths of office regularly. I haven't researched whether it's required or not, but I have done that, I think, in every government case.

It is required. Terms I heard earlier today were atypical, irregular, no proper procedure.

Yet in your opening statement, you said that we followed Justice Department policies, and

I would assume you meant the law as well.
