And then after explaining the extensive delays caused by the Supreme Court, Smith concludes: "Indeed, but for Mr. Trump's election and imminent return to the Presidency, the Office assessed that the admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial." END/

Smith explains the delays: "Mr. Trump's repeated assertion of the presidential-communications privilege as a basis to withhold evidence required extensive preindictment litigation that delayed the Office's receipt of important testimony and other evidence." 6/

NEW: THREAD: Jack Smith's final report acknowledges the work Garland did before Smith was appointed. "This record, including the period predating the Special Counsel's appointment, encompasses voluntary interviews of more than 250 individuals and grand jury testimony from more than 55 witnesses." 1/

The final report explains the delays. HINT: it wasn't Merrick Garland.

It also explains that DoJ did NOT rely on the J6 committee, nor was it "shamed" into "starting" the probe based on the hearings.

I'm sure we'll get all the relevant corporate media retractions. Right?

If you still have a Twitter or threads account, start encouraging more people to join Blue Sky, especially if you are European. Twitter (X) is being used to manipulate elections globally and suppress information.

Post at least once a day, encouraging others to join. #bluesky

When (or if) the U.S. ever comes out of the era of Trumpism, we clearly need to codify much of what we’ve considered “norms”, completely overhaul campaign finance laws, and end Citizen’s United.
"Trump is keeping secret the names of the donors who are funding his transition effort, a break from tradition that could make it impossible to see what interest groups, businesses or wealthy people are helping launch his second term."

Trump Is Running His Transition Team on Secret Money
Breaking with past practice, President-elect Donald J. Trump has not agreed to disclose the donors paying for his planning effort or to limit their contributions.

This gave me goosebumps.

“My 18-year-old daughter was at Starbucks, alone, the other night.

A man came up to her and started talking to her.

A barista handed her “an extra hot chocolate someone forgot to pick up.”

How grateful I am for people who look out for other people!”

We need each other.

“By forcing outrageous choices…, Trump is seeking to establish himself even before he assumes the presidency as a strongman, above the traditional advise and consent checks on presidential authority granted the Senate by the U.S. Constitution.”
Nervous laughter and late night comedians' jokes are a natural reaction to Trump's cabinet choices. But there's nothing funny about them. They're a calculated part of a direct and serious threat to our democracy and our well being. My latest for The Daily Beast. www.thedailybeast.com/gaetz-rfk-jr...
Why Trump’s Clown Cabinet of Deplorables Is a No-Joke Circus
Trump’s appointments would be dark comedy were it not a calculated effort to turn the United States into an autocracy.
