Jack Smith insists Trump WOULD have been convicted of election interference

[Social Media]

 

Donald Trump raged against special counsel Jack Smith's report in a late night rant to Truth Social shortly after it was released. Smith stood by his decision to bring charges against Donald Trump and said he would have been convicted had he not won the election in a much-anticipated report.

 

'The throughline of all of Mr. Trump's criminal efforts was deceit - knowingly false claims of election fraud - and the evidence shows that Mr. Trump used these lies as a weapon to defeat a federal government function foundational to the United States' democratic process,' the report states. 

 

The comprehensive report, coming just days before Trump is to return to the White House on January 20, focuses fresh attention on his extensive but failed effort to cling to power in 2020. Trump has already responded to its release with an infuriated post to social media. 

 

Trump has already hit back at the report in a Truth Social post at around 1:41am, writing: 'Deranged Jack Smith was unable to successfully prosecute the Political Opponent of his 'boss,' Crooked Joe Biden, so he ends up writing yet another 'Report' based on information that the Unselect Committee of Political Hacks and Thugs ILLEGALLY DESTROYED AND DELETED, because it showed how totally innocent I was, and how completely guilty Nancy Pelosi, and others, were. 

 

The president-elect then followed it up with two more missives to his social media platform. 'To show you how desperate Deranged Jack Smith is, he released his Fake findings at 1:00 A.M. in the morning. Did he say that the Unselect Committee illegally destroyed and deleted all of the evidence.'

He followed it up with his trademark: 'MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!' 

 

The 137-page document is expected to be the final Justice Department chronicle of the probes. Smith, who resigned on Sunday after completing two criminal investigations, wrote to Attorney General Merrick Garland that he believed had Trump stood trial on the charges, he would have been convicted.  

 

'The department's view that the Constitution prohibits the continued indictment and prosecution of a president is categorical and does not turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the government's proof or the merits of the prosecution, which the office stands fully behind,' Smith wrote.

 

'Indeed, but for Mr. Trump's election and imminent return to the presidency, the office assessed that the admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial,' he added.  Trump called Smith 'a lamebrain prosecutor who was unable to get his case tried before the Election, which I won in a landslide. THE VOTERS HAVE SPOKEN!!!' 

 

Smith wrote the report, which was transmitted to Congress early Tuesday after a judge refused to block its release. It describes prosecutors' charging decisions in the case that resulted in Trump being indicted for taking a trove of national security documents to Mar-a-Lago.  They also include the decision to charge Trump with heading a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election.  

 

The document includes for the first time a detailed assessment from Smith about his investigation, as well as a defense by Smith against criticism by Trump and his allies that the investigation was politicized.

The President Elect will be the POTUS in six days. This is a fact. The majority of the voting public voted Trump in and comprehensively kicked the Democrats out. This is also fact. As for the DOJ anyone who thinks it hasn't been weaponized needs to re-evaluate their powers of critical thinking.

The fact that he has been elected doesn't change what he has done in any way. Neither does your lame weaponized DOJ B.S. conspiracy theory! 😆

There is no court of public opinion.

If Trump would have been convicted, how about the 126 congressmen and 18 states that agreed that the election was tainted when they filed amicus briefs in support of the Texas vs Pennsylvania suit? 

 

Would they have been convicted, too?

The usual MAGA lame false equivalence tactics. Lawful means of challenging elections are not criminal, by definition. 😆

 

“As set forth in the original and superseding indictments, when it became clear that Mr. Trump had lost the election and that lawful means of challenging the election results had failed, he resorted to a series of criminal efforts to retain power,” the report states.

Jack Smith is just another of a long list of epitomes of the faltering abysmal failures of the left. The left really needs to snap out of it and begin to cut off and leave the delusional Trump hate fan club behind or continue to be dragged down with them.

[frank83628]

One thing this whole Trump thing has done is expose just how corrupted the US political system is, along with the corrupted media

[Walker88]

I am reminded of the argument the soon-to-be #2 at DoJ made or influenced when arguing Presidential Immunity at the Supreme Court, and especially before the Circuit Court.

 

POTUSs make morally difficult decisions in regards to actions that might be taken against individuals who represent a threat to the homeland. Usually such individuals are ten thousand miles away in the tribal areas of Pakistan or Afghanistan. 45's team argued that anything goes when one is sitting POTUS. Obviously Biden has more character than 45 or 45's legal team.

 

As for the indictment and conclusion resulting from SC Smith's investigation, MAGAs will not read the report, nor care what witnesses, who were appointed members of 45's Administration, not "Dems", "Radical Leftists", "Marxists/Socialists", etc., testified under oath in front of the Grand Jury. All MAGAs do is repeat what they have heard in the fever swamps they inhabit and what their mendacious messiah says about "witchhunts". Scratch a MAGA find someone who is either willfully ignorant of American ideals, or else a traitor to those ideals. There is no other possibility, especially if they read SC Smith's report. Certainly MAGAs cannot use actual facts to argue otherwise, as the facts of the investigation are beyond doubt. All MAGAs have are false claims of "weaponization" or epithets for anyone engaging in blasphemy against their messiah.

 

Legally questioning results of an election is okay. Engaging in fake elector schemes, fomenting a terrorist attack against the Capitol, pressuring the VP to break the law and sitting idle when watching terrorists on TV not only erecting gallows on Capitol grounds, but chanting "Hang Mike Pence".

 

MAGAs, let me ask:  If folks not enamored of 47 erect gallows on White House grounds or nearby in Lafayette Park, and begin chanting "Hang 47", you would be okay with that, call it free speech, and say it was really a "Lovefest" (as 45 described the Capitol attack). What I suspect is that if such an event occurred, 47 would run down into the WH bunker, as he did when a Code Pink protest of mostly 70+ women showed up on Pennsylvania Ave (and after which 45 said whoever leaked news of his abject cowardice Zeta-male behavior to the press should be executed for treason).

It shows again what a bad justice system they have over there.

And then obviously lots of spineless politicians who still support that traitor.

Just look up what some of his fellow GOP politicians said about him directly after Jan 6. That should give you a good idea.

"Jack Smith insists Trump WOULD have been convicted of election interference"

 

In New York--Of course he would, he would have been sent to jail for dropping a bus ticket on the floor there. .....

Seems like a hostage release deal might happen in Gaza. 33 hostages is what I've seen. I know this is a bit off topic but Trump has a negotiation team on the ground in Dubai. If this comes to be and it can be demonstrated that Trumps team has had an influence in  this which I'm assuming they have then surely this will be a great thing and a very positive story. It would be a bit of a change to see something positive about Trump as opposed to all the negative coverage.

Two facts and an opinion. Fact 1: Next Monday US time Trump becomes the President of the United States. Fact 2: The US voters overwhelmingly voted for Trump and gave the Democrats one big boot out the door. Opinion: The DOJ has been weaponised. Not sure how you failed to comprehend this and somehow come to the conclusion that I'm in someway being deceitful. By the way who is the "we" in "hope we don't notice"?

You dropped to the level of admitting the obvious fact you expressed an opinion that you can’t claim to be be based on any facts.

Maybe but at least I haven't dropped to the level of being a Harris fanboy anti Trump brainwashed sheep. 

[Lacessit]

IIRC Bill Barr said "Trump is toast" as Jack Smith built his case. That was a Trump ally.

They will turn it negative some how, perhaps they'll say the hostages actually wanted to be there.

Where did he say this? 

[theblether]

Ladies and gentlemen. This is a dementia test. 

 

When was the last time a prosecutor who did not voluntarily drop a case say "I wouldn't have won it anyway." 

 

If you think his "he would have been convicted" statement has any credence, you are demented. 

 

And if you want proof, eight SCOTUS judges including two ultra liberals sided against his stupidity. 

 

So don't be stupid, don't be demented, move on. 

[puck2]

In the USA it seems, you must be a criminal to be chosen as POTUS.

 

Congratulation to the stupid and immoral people in the USA. It sais a lot about that country. People with some intelligence and moral - and not influenced by advertising - would never elect such a crook. Read about his life-history then you understand my judging.

Nup! Remember that a big chunk of the people that voted Trump in were once Democrats. Obviously smart enough to see through all the BS you have been told to believe. People who obviously had the ability of critical thought unlike the brainwashed supporters of the radical left.

I suggest you post proof the liberal judges sided with the conservative judges, because I suspect you are lying.

I was talking about MAGA, the rest have been conned.

 

Already, the GOP is talking about a $5 trillion cut to welfare, and Trump is not even in the White House yet.
