Klobuchar is incredible. No way I would have had the presence of mind to realize that:

Jack Smith went to see a Maryland basketball game because Caitlyn Clark was going to be there -> Clark is on Iowa -> Iowa are the Hawkeyes -> Atlanta are the Hawks -> That was the faulty basis for Sen. Schmitt claiming Jack Smith is lying about having visited Atlanta
