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.

    …and yet there won’t be thousands of people protesting his inauguration or anything the fuck else.

    The people in this country have been broken, and now they’re just gonna lay over and take it.

    We’re a long way from February 15th, 2003.

    Face it, American citizens, we’re fucking cooked.

      Some of us are and some of us aren’t. Help your neighbors if you’re one of the lucky ones who aren’t.

      Why’d you bypass the largest protest in the country’s history? Black Lives Matter was just four years ago and included people actually fighting with cops, not just walking along prescribed routes holding signs. We’re a lot closer to a break than we ever were in 2003.
