Jack Smith, in his opening statement to the House Judiciary Committee, says:
>”Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power.”
>”Our investigation also developed powerful evidence that showed President Trump willfully retained highly classified documents after he left office in January 2021, storing them at his social club, including in a bathroom and a ballroom where events and gatherings took place. He then repeatedly tried to obstruct justice to conceal his continued retention of those documents.”

I don’t believe it matters.
Anyone who listened to Trump’s call to Georgia and his pressuring Raffensperger to find 11,780 votes and overturn Trump’s loss, and hasn’t come to that conclusion yet, cannot look at this objectively and accept Trump tried to steal 2020.
He’s not going to get prosecuted. He’s not going to jail. His supporters will continue to support him because he lied and they believed him.
If Justice had moved swiftly maybe all of this could have been avoided but that’s not the case.

We all saw the pictures. The man had a hoard of classified materials when he shouldn’t have. From witness accounts, he showed some of these files to people who shouldn’t have seen them.

Exhibit XXYS into Trump’s guilt. Also known as, another potential out for the GOP to 25th him and cut their losses that they choose to ignore, again.
Grandpa is a liability, and it’s going to get way, way worse this week.

**TLDR:** FFormer Special Counsel Jack Smith told the House Judiciary Committee during a private meeting that his team had strong evidence proving former President Donald Trump tried to illegally overturn the 2020 election. He also said they had clear proof that Trump broke the law by keeping classified documents at Mar-a-Lago and trying to stop officials from getting them back. Smith said all his decisions were based only on facts and the law, not politics. However, since Trump has become president again, the charges were dropped because the law says a sitting president can’t be indicted.

What an unbelievable timeline, that so much proof could be gathered yet by stymied by the defendant’s own hand-picked judge.

Plot twist, the only thing Jack Smith is guilty of is slow walking the charges and burying the worst offenses.

Hunter Biden wanted to be questioned by the House committee that issued a subpoena to him in public. Jack Smith wanted to be questioned by the House committee that issued a subpoena to him in public.
Republicans continue to hide because the boogeymen they created would show the lies they told if the actual testimony was shown to the American public.

I mean the report said that if he hadn’t got elected they would have pursued prosecution which they wouldn’t do unless they knew they had more than enough to convict. If you read the stuff that wasn’t redacted it adds up to illegal actions.

Maybe don’t wait until the 11th hour to prosecute and he could be in jail right now.
Trump played this perfectly. He intentionally delayed the judiciary system and hedged his bets on him being president. Well now he is and all the charges are dropped. Don’t charge him like 2 years before the election. Charge him the day after this shit happens.
“But they have to build a case.”
It doesn’t take 2 years to build something we all saw on TV. There, there he is saying to storm the capitol. Arrest him.

Everyone knows where we are at. We have a criminal working against the United States in the White House and no one can or will do anything about it. Everyone is waiting for him to pull the full dictator trigger and then claim they didn’t know and then be upset when they’re is really nothing left that can be done. We are approaching this moment full steam.

Hey this is great and all but none of it fucking matters if nobody is interested in using the levers of legal power to do a single goddamn meaningful thing about it. Great, Jack, happy for you and the investigation. Now kindly fuck off, along with the rest of the cowards in the DC club that slow played everything, underreported everything, and generally failed at stopping this piece of shit from getting power again.

“Some of you in this room were also implicated in our investigation.” – Hopefully Jack Smith lol.
If we ever get the public hearing, hope he says this.

The evidence was in the bathroom. Pictures are the proof. Jack Smith should go public with everything.
