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.

    Pretty sure that was you, Jack, by dragging your feet for as long as possible with that investigation.

      Yeah, it’s the fault of Jack Smith who was appointed only towards the end of 2022 lmao. Not the traitor republicans in the supreme court for slow walking the baffling immunity decision or a Trump appointed judge (Aileen Canon) being blatantly and shamelessly biased on the documents case, or finally the braindead voters who re-elected him.

      Listen, we can give a ton of people shit on this. Jack Smith isn’t one of them. The people Jack Smith works for are the ones who failed here.
