    Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power," Smith said.

    Sure would have been nice if he would have fucking said that outright at the time.

      He couldn’t though? He was doing the absolutely normal and right thing that prosecutors do in waiting to say that in court.

      The real blame here sits with Merrick Garland. His bottom up approach was naive. It’s like he never fucking considered that donnie boy could be elected again. 😮‍💨

        You’re missing the point. I still say that it would have been fucking nice if he would have said so outright at the time. I don’t care who the blame for that needs to lie with.

          Prosecutors don’t do that so they don’t mess with the jury pool. He said all that he could/should. Our electorate is just too dumb/gullible to really listen. ¯⁠\\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
