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.
To be fair, that was not jack smith’s fault. He did his job exactly as well as he was allowed. Blame the system, but in this instance, do not blame the man.
It’s his fault for devoting his life to a disgusting system of punishment for the poor.
Bullshit. The Dems wanted to run against Trump while he was being prosecuted and slow rolled the investigations because they thought they’d win.
I think they would have prefered he not be eligible to run
And thats not smiths fault. He did his job. The failure is above that. Pay attention to the bigger picture.
What about Garland, can we blame him?
Absolutely
Why not? He folded up everything as soon as the election was over. What the hell kind of integrity is that?
Because it was obvious that it would all be thrown out and he would be fired. Nothing would have changed if he kept going. Garland is at fault for waiting years to even appoint Smith.
Again - what the hell kind of integrity is that? Even if it’s going to be thrown out, you push towards the finish line.
Great for your own personal glory and little else.
He had a job. He did the job. His run down of how things go does not exist in a vacvuum. Where do his responsibilities start and where do they stop?
He did his job right. The follow-up is on someone else. And they failed. On epic levels. But dont blame him. He already paid the piper. The man gets credit for what he did. His report being ignored is no fault of his own.
He categorically did not do the job. It’s not done.
