DOJ Drops Jack Smith Report on Trump in the Middle of the Night
What a shock. Attorney General Merrick Garland dropped Volume 1 of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report regarding the investigation into President-elect Donald Trump’s supposed actions to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
Let me admit right now that I have not read it all yet since I’m watching the Hegseth hearing.
Smith stood behind his decision to criminally charge Trump.
“Although he did so primarily in his private capacity as a candidate, and with the assistance of multiple private co-conspirators, Mr. Trump also attempted to use the power and authority of the United States Government in furtherance of his scheme,” according to the report.
However, once Trump demolished Vice President Kamala Harris in November, Smith decided to dismiss the case.
Judge tanya Chutkan granted Smith’s request.
“But for Mr. Trump’s election and imminent return to the Presidency, the Office assessed that the admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial,” added Smith.
The DOJ alleged Trump “resorted to a series of criminal efforts to retain power.”
Those attempts supposedly included:
- induce state officials to ignore true vote counts; to manufacture fraudulent slates of presidential electors in seven states that he had lost;
- to force Justice Department officials and his own Vice President, Michael R. Pence, to act in contravention of their oaths and to instead advance Mr. Trump’s personal interests;
- and, on January 6, 2021, to direct an angry mob to the United States Capitol to obstruct the congressional certification of the presidential election and then leverage rioters’ violence to further delay it.
