Bombshell Report: Special Counsel Jack Smith Believes Evidence Was Sufficient to Convict Trump
Trump should NOT be President
In a highly anticipated and explosive final report, Special Counsel Jack Smith has revealed that his team had gathered enough evidence to convict former President Donald Trump of trying to illegally stay in power after losing the 2020 election. The 174-page report, released on Tuesday and addressed to Attorney General Merrick Garland, provides a scathing rebuke of Trump's actions and sheds light on the special counsel's investigation.
According to Smith, the evidence collected by his team was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction, but Trump's election to a second term in November made it impossible for the case to proceed. In the report, Smith writes, "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."
The special counsel's report also reveals that his team considered bringing even more serious charges against Trump, including a violation of the Insurrection Act. This act provides that anyone who "incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto" could face severe penalties, including a maximum of 10 years in prison and being barred from holding any office under the United States.
Although the special counsel's office ultimately opted against pursuing these additional charges, the report provides a damning assessment of Trump's actions and raises serious questions about his fitness for office. The report's findings are likely to spark intense debate and discussion, and its release is sure to have significant implications for Trump's presidency and the country as a whole.
