Summary
Special counsel Jack Smith’s report asserts sufficient evidence existed to convict Donald Trump for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election but cites Trump’s 2024 presidential victory as the reason charges were dropped, due to constitutional protections for sitting presidents.
Smith detailed Trump’s actions, including pressuring officials, spreading false election claims, and encouraging protests.
While charges against co-conspirators were considered, no final conclusions were reached.
Smith denied political bias, emphasizing adherence to facts and law.
The report also references challenges like expanded presidential immunity.
What is the constitutional protection for sitting presidents? You mean that part in the constitution which says presidents are basically kings and they are above the law and they can do whatever they want? Oh yeah, that part. That part that totally exists and totally says that.
SCOTUS says this constitutional protections are there. We should totally trust SCOTUS. It’s not like SCOTUS is unbelievably corrupt, doing the bidding of billionaires, or trying to usher in a Conservative wet dream.
