Donald Trump would have been convicted of crimes over his failed attempt to cling to power in 2020 if he had not won the presidential election in 2024, according to the special counsel who investigated him.
Jack Smith’s report (***the report is 174 pages long) detailing his team’s findings about Trump’s efforts to subvert democracy was released by the justice department early on Tuesday.
Following the insurrection on 6 January, 2021, Smith was appointed as special counsel to investigate Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election. His investigation culminated in a detailed report, submitted to the attorney general, Merrick Garland.
Volume one of the report meticulously outlines Trump’s actions, including his efforts to pressure state officials, assemble alternate electors and encourage supporters to protest against the election results.
Perfectly said, and I’ve been reaching the same conclusion lately.
I too attempted harm reduction while being disappointed in the democrats. And we all know plenty of people stayed home or went third party for some of those reasons.
But damn it, this country turned out to vote FOR Trump. The democrats didn’t just miss the mark and Trump got lucky or whatever. Trump won decisively because he’s the kind of asshole that a huge part of our culture loves.
