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.

    This is nonsense. He wouldn’t have been convicted and the proof for that was that he wasn’t convicted.

    It was never going to happen. The timing made sure of it.

    A convenient excuse.

    My homework would have got an A+ if I had handed it in.
