President-elect Donald Trump would have been convicted of illegally trying to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election - which he lost - if he had not successfully been re-elected in the 2024, according to a Department of Justice report released to Congress. "The admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial," the report by Special Counsel Jack Smith said.

Accountability seems a rather passe notion these days among those who disingenuously continue to repeat the obviouslie that the Count of Mondo-Lardo is being unjustly persecuted for the crimes they all witnessed him commit.

Well, yeah.

... the Count of Mondo-Lardo is being unjustly persecuted for the crimes they all witnessed him commit.

Not only those crimes that many saw, but the mountain of evidence that has been presented to substantiate that indictment.

And the quite un-democratic attacks against those who held opinions that were counter to what their cult leader wanted to be stated.

Donald Trump Jack Smith Report: Six Key Bombshells
www.newsweek.com

... A report by special counsel Jack Smith into Donald Trump's alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election result has been released, despite efforts by Trump's lawyers to keep it suppressed.

Newsweek sought email comment from Trump's attorney on Tuesday.

Why It Matters

The report contains fresh revelations about the lengths Trump was willing to go to allegedly overthrow Joe Biden's win in 2020 and to circumnavigate the democratic wish of the American public.

What To Know

The report includes some shocking allegations against Trump, including:

Attempts To Keep Vice President Mike Pence Mentally Isolated

The report claims that Trump tried to keep vice president Mike Pence isolated from everyone else, so that Trump alone could work on him psychologically. ...

 

Secret Communications With Justice Department Official, Jeffrey Clark

In total violation of Justice Department rules, Justice Department official, Jeffrey Clark, allegedly engaged in secret communication with Trump about how to undermine the election result.

As a reward, Trump allegedly threatened to fire the Justice Department chief and replace him with Clark, who is identified in the report as Co-Conspirator 4. ...


An article worth a read, imo.

You mean constantly delaying the trail worked?

Who could have seen that coming?

Guess there's nothing we can do.

Thoughts and Prayers.

@#4 ... Justice no longer exists. Do crimes! ...

That seems to be what SCOTUS has told Pres-elect Trump.

Chief Justice Roberts should be ashamed of the SCOTUS he will go down in history as presiding over.

I'd proffer that he had differing aspirations when he accepted the Chief Justice assignment.

...
Laugh at the tears you're crying
Smile while your head explodes
You don't have to take this lying down
So blow your nose, baby
And just get your fingers clicking
To the rhythm and the rhyme
Otherwise you'll just be kicking around
And that's a crime
...

I'll start by saying legally - I go back and forth on Trump's guilt. Large part of me says without a doubt guilty, but there's a small part that says in the real world getting a conviction against a President would be difficult.

But as far as impeachable offenses - this is it. This man should be no where near the White House. This why you have impeachment.

Shame on the GOP for not nipping this in the bud. This is on them.

What we saw coming was delaying and actually bringing the case after knowing Trump was running again. If Trump didn't run there would never have been any cases to begin with.

#8 The offense? Having the FBI break into your house and plant documents to frame your political opponent? Remember, the National Archives always sets up a secure building through GSA in the town where the exiting president lives, Obama-Chicago, Bush-Houston, etc. The National Archives then delivers the files, etc to that secure building where the ex President goes at his leisure and sorts through them saying what should stay and what should go. National archives decided that Mar a lago would work because it was secure enough. Mistake by Trump to allow that, but who would have known that it was part of a setup. Meanwhile Biden has open boxes in his garage where hookers and drug dealers walk past with Hunter and a special council says it's no big deal and on top of it they determined that even though he was guilty of the same thing they were charging Trump Biden wasn't fit to stand trial.

"special council says it's no big deal" ... because it was not. There was not enough evidence of a crime to charge and prosecute ( and you know damn well if there was they would have tried) And also Biden fully cooperated. Unlike Trumpy.

The evidence is all right there in the report ... Trumpy obviously committed multiple crimes and obstructed justice and refused to cooperate until forced to and there was enough evidence to charge and prosecute and even convict him (again) with.

And yet you still cannot see the difference.

Donald Trump Jack Smith Report: Six Key Bombshells
www.newsweek.com
... A report by special counsel Jack Smith into Donald Trump's alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election result has been released, despite efforts by Trump's lawyers to keep it suppressed.

Some of these are hardly "bombshells" - in fact, either a nothing-burger or well known :
* Attempts To Keep Vice President Mike Pence Mentally Isolated
* Trump's Control Over The January 6 Rioters
* Trump's Educated Women Problem
* Trump Fails To Present Evidence Of Fraud In Arizona

"Bombshells"? Really?

This is just Part 1 of the Jack Smith report. The really interesting info is in Part 2, which deals with the "declassified" SCI and other secret files Trump took, hid and refused to give up voluntarily in Mar-a-Lago, and now hopes to bury that part of the report, once he gets a hold of DOJ. That's where "the bodies are buried" and what most voters didn't hear much about (unlike J6) because much of it was classified and because there are still open cases on two Trump's co-conspirators:

www.rawstory.com - Dems make surprising request to allow release of Mar-a-Lago classified documents report - RS, 2025-01-16

Now this would contain quite a few bombshells!
