Summary

Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report concluded that Donald Trump avoided prosecution for January 6-related charges due to his reelection.

The DOJ determined that prosecuting a sitting president violated constitutional protections, despite evidence strong enough to secure a conviction.

Smith noted that Trump’s return to office directly halted legal action and criticized existing DOJ policies and judicial interpretations, which shielded presidents from accountability.

The report underscores how voters, by reinstating Trump, indirectly prevented his criminal prosecution for actions threatening democratic institutions.

      It really does. It’s a banger anyway just based on how it sounds, and ON TOP OF THAT I want to shout every word from the rooftops. I damn near can’t stop playing it.

      Thanks for saying something, I feel a little spammy when I link it sometimes.
