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.

    In the US, if you have money and power, you can get away with anything. Land of the free (If you’re rich).

      Since finding this 17 year old song linked somewhere on the fediverse awhile back I continue to be amazed how it just gets right to the root of nearly every problem we have. Start to finish, if you are angry at the current state of things (and not a maga), pretty good chance this song nails it for you.

      Welcome to the United Snakes

      Land of the thief, home of the slave

      The grand imperial guard where the dollar is sacred and power is God

      (and it turned me into a bit of a Brother Ali fan)

          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.
