The president-elect had plenty of time to come up with a compelling response to the special counsel's findings. He did not spend that time wisely.

Summary

Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on Trump’s election interference case, released by the Justice Department, details Trump’s attempts to retain power after losing the election.

Trump responded with late-night social media posts, calling Smith “deranged,” spreading falsehoods about destroyed evidence, and claiming a 2020 election “landslide” victory.

Despite having time to prepare a response, Trump’s reaction consisted of late-night tweets filled with lies and falsehoods.

    Why wait until he is dead then if you aren’t concerned with the consequences?

    I mean he might not hold still but, who knows?

      You’ll never believe this, but they don’t guard corpses to the same degree as live people.
