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.

    Would’ve, could’ve, should’ve. You had several years to do it.

      I think if anyone is to blame, and there are people, it’s not Jack Smith. I feel he’s one that actually did try and got fucked at every turn by corruption and Canon.
