Donald Trump would have been convicted of crimes over his failed attempt to cling to power in 2020 if he had not won the presidential election in 2024, according to the special counsel who investigated him.

Jack Smith’s report (***the report is 174 pages long) detailing his team’s findings about Trump’s efforts to subvert democracy was released by the justice department early on Tuesday.

Following the insurrection on 6 January, 2021, Smith was appointed as special counsel to investigate Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election. His investigation culminated in a detailed report, submitted to the attorney general, Merrick Garland.

Volume one of the report meticulously outlines Trump’s actions, including his efforts to pressure state officials, assemble alternate electors and encourage supporters to protest against the election results.

    When brains and ballots fail, bullets are the last line of exacting justice.

      When the rules change to suit the needs of the 1%, there are no rules.

        Better yet, when the police officer whose the father of my child’s best friend is as much of a slave as I am, are they going to work for the real people around them, or the absent ruling class that despises both of us and uses police as bullet sponges
