Jack Smith's shocking report on Trump upending the 2020 election

Attorney General Merrick Garland released former special counsel Jack Smith's report on President-elect Donald Trump's effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election. The 130-page report was stunning and concluded: “The admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial.”

“As set forth in the original indictment and the superseding indictment, when it became clear that Mr. Trump had lost the election and legal means of challenging the election results failed, he engaged in a series of criminal acts to cling to power,” the report reads.

The Justice Department charged Trump with four related criminal charges: conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstructing and attempting to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy to violate rights. After Trump's victory in November, the case was dismissed and Smith resigned as special counsel.

Smith's report details the plot Trump hatched to cling to power after losing to President Joe Biden — from pressure on state officials to a fake electorate conspiracy to a Jan. 6 campaign in which he encouraged support The protesters marched to the Capitol before they violently attacked the building. Preparing to certify Biden's victory.

The report details what happened after Trump spoke at a rally before the riot, noting that he saw the chaos on television and “rejected” requests from advisers for him to make a statement. appease the crowd rather than “repeatedly pointing out that people in the Capitol are angry because the election was stolen.”

Trump eventually issued a tweet blasting Vice President Mike Pence, whom he believed should halt the Electoral College certification. Just one minute after Trump's tweet, the Secret Service was forced to evacuate Pence to a safe location. When Trump was informed of the incident, he responded: “So what?” according to reports.

The report also makes clear that Trump and his co-conspirators knew exactly what they were doing and that they “could not believe the specific fraud claims they made because of the numbers they touted — for example, the number of dead voters in a particular area “. countries – often swing wildly on a daily basis, or are objectively impossible. ”

Trump sidestepped responsibility for all of this by winning the November election. He successfully won on January 6 and is scheduled to be re-inaugurated the following Monday. He responded to Smith's report in The Truth Society, attacking Smith and the investigation as politically motivated.

“Unhinged Jack Smith couldn't successfully sue his 'boss' Crooked Joe Biden's political opponent, so he ended up writing another one based on information illegally destroyed and deleted by an unselected committee of political hackers and thugs' report' because it shows how innocent I am and how guilty Nancy Pelosi and others are,” he wrote. “Jack was a dumb prosecutor who couldn't get his case to trial before the election, which I won in a landslide.”

“The voters have spoken!!!” Trump added.
