Trump would have been convicted in Jan. 6 case if he had lost election

[Morphine Prince 109,653]

WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump "inspired his supporters to commit acts of physical violence" on Jan. 6 and knowingly spread an objectively false narrative about election fraud in the 2020 election, special counsel Jack Smith said in a report defending his investigation made public early Tuesday.

The 170-page report summarized Smith's investigation into Trump's efforts to maintain power after he lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden, which culminated in the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Smith's office conducted interviews with more than 250 individuals in connection with the investigation and federal grand jurors heard testimony from more than 55 witnesses as part of the probe.

Smith — who has been the subject of unending criticism by Trump, whose allies have suggested the special counsel should now face criminal charges — used the report to deliver a full-throated defense of his decision to bring charges.

"To all who know me well, the claim from Mr. Trump that my decisions as a prosecutor were influenced or directed by the Biden administration or other political actors is, in a word, laughable," Smith wrote. 

He opined that — if it wasn't for his election in November that prevented the prosecution from moving forward — the case would have ended in the president-elect's conviction.

“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," Smith's report stated.

Well, yeah, he's guilty, incredibly guilty, the guiltiest man in the history of guiltydom, guilty like nobody's ever seen before.

[Debithius 6,056]

Blah blah blah bunch of lies

[Mister G 10,512]

They had all this time to take action and waited until the 11th hour. Jack Smith and the DOJ (Merrick Garland especially) failed and this is on them. Everything tying back to 01/06/21 should have immediately disqualified him from ever running again, but alas Trump is living proof that if you're rich and white in America you can get away with anything.

Nah, WE would have been convicted and left to rot in prison. Trump? The system isn’t designed to hold people like that accountable. Silly us for believing otherwise. 

[Lucas 31,101]

Sure jan! The simple fact that the court kept pushing back hearings again and again says enough

[Cavadour 2,704]

This only goes to show how the system is crooked and bent in favor of the rich and wealthy.

How else in the world could we have a convicted outlaw and despicable human being such as that horrange infamy become the leader of the -so called- free world for four more years ?

Tbh. Like why even lie?

 

The thing is judges and the jury are humans with self preservation and families to think about like any other human. And the rich have a lot of power

 

I believe at least some have enough integrity to be able to resist bribes but almost none of them will resist fear or threats... and as such its super rare any rich and powerful ever get anything more than a slap on the wrist

 

Only in situations where its too serious, obvious and clear like R. Kelly does it SOMETIMES occur because you cant even hide it at that point

[Roughhouse Dandy 13,603]

The amount of collective delusion and rejection of reality despite countless officials testifying, political analysts warning, and court evidence around this man is the thing that's completely broken any hope for humanity I had.

Willful ignorance. 

I think that user meant that they don’t believe that Trump would’ve been convicted because the justice system would never hold someone that powerful accountable (or at least that’s what I’m hoping lmao)
