Republican former Alabama Congressman Mo Brooks on Wednesday told NBC News he’s “mildly surprised” that Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith hasn’t reached out to him to talk about Brooks’s role in and knowledge of disgraced former President Trump’s post-2020 election coup attempt, something he says he’s ready and willing to “explain what I know about it. Whether it’s relevant or material, I’m not sure… I was shocked [Trump] was so blatant about it – illegal conduct.”

Brooks, whose failed 2022 Senate campaign was just an endless string of humiliations at the tiny hands of the Orange God Emperor, not least of which was being undorsed by Trump in the primary for being too “woke” on the subject of whether Brooks could get the House to pass legislation that would reinstate Trump to the presidency, seems more than a little eager to help settle the score.

“Donald Trump wanted me to do four things: Advocate rescinding the election, advocate physically removing Joe Biden from the White House, advocate reinstating Donald Trump as president of the United States and advocate a new special election for president of the United States – all of which violate the US Constitution and federal law,” Brooks told NBC, adding “And after I got done explaining that to him, he withdrew his endorsement and endorsed my opponent. So I’m mildly surprised none of these people have made inquiries about the details of this, but it is what it is.”

It’s not clear why Brooks, a former prosecutor, had to do this publicly in the media rather than simply reaching out to Smith’s team privately… unless he wanted to rattle Trump’s cage simply for the fun of it before he picks up the phone and schedules an appointment with the special counsel.
