Jack Smith is a god damn national treasure
Ooooooo
Lemme tell you about Blackjack Smith,
Shooting straight law, dealing justice,
Rode to DC to solve an itch
To jail a traitorous orange bitchThey thought a Cannon would save the lump
that ripped off America in the name of Trump
but her blast of bullshit couldn't delay
the Sword of Damocles coming down on its preyBlackjack laughed as he held the cards
There was no need to bluff with these retards
Georgia was lookin' jealous of DC
And pretty soon there would be indictments threeIvanka's shaken and Jared's pale
The Saudis can't hide them from Donnie's fail
Giuliani's squawking, Meadows is talking
O big daddy Trump, you're going to jailChorus
Ohh, keep on indictin', Mr. Blackjack Smith
The GOP is rolling in a mess of traitor shit
The Union looks to you to set the record straight
And purge the Presidency of Donald's hatetrumping Trump ; lock him up.
Okay, so he'll be indicted in D.C., which means he'll have to run with that shadow looming over him, but how dark of a shadow is it really? He didn't participate in the riot, didn't give any specific orders to the rioters to riot, much less invade the Capitol building. His actual words were vague enough that I'm not seeing how this case stands any chance of an actual conviction. And if the trial actually ends up happening before Election Day next year, his acquittal will actually wind up helping him, no?
Did you not watch the house committee on January 6th hearings? You should. The evidence is significant and damning.
There is apparently a lot of witnesses to the case. One of them that witnessed before the Congress said that there where talks about this in the white house prior to january 6. She also said that he demanded to be driven to the congress that day and apparently he took chocked a secret service employee since he did not do so..
Trump knew what was going to happen and calling his speech that day vague is really something. It amazes me that folks don't see the writing on the wall.
Remember that this is the justice department that charges him. They are known only to take up cases they are sure they will be able to win.
I'm not arguing Trump didn't encourage people to riot and yes, I know he knew full well what was likely to happen and did nothing to stop it. But I'm used to evidence in legal cases needing to be pretty watertight to obtain a conviction (a very good aspect of our legal system, btw). I just don't see how a conviction is likely, despite how obvious his guilt is from a "common sense" standpoint.
Homeboy literally told the crowd to walk down to the Capitol and to take our country back. He's guilty as fuuuuck.
Huh, interesting take. From where I’m coming from, the fact that a ton of Trump supporters ended up flying to DC from all over the country in order to be present for a Trump rally on the day that they certified election results is enough evidence for me. They didn’t go to DC as a result of some freaky coincidence. They went there to hear him speak, at what was commonly referred to as a rally (and he’s still cool with calling them rallys). The person that lost an election 2 months ago is no longer campaigning at that point. What was the purpose of hosting, and speaking at a rally, that just so happened to be in DC?
The term rally has many definitions including:
“ to muster for a common purpose”
“ to arouse for action”
“ a renewed offensive”
These words didn’t do it for you? https://youtu.be/5fiT6c0MQ58
For anyone but Trump, the indictment would be deadly. Trump already knows he's screwed, so the number of indictments don't matter. Trump is either going to win the Presidency, or he's going to (try to) flee jurisdiction.
I will be interested to see the evidence presented but this is a tough case for special counsel to win
they're trying to charge him w a felony; any felony; to disqualify him from immunity and/or running for office.
at this stage they've thrown so many things at the wall that at least one is bound to stick and only one is needed.
some sick, twisted part of me wants him to win just to show how thoroughly farcical our legal system is; but i suspect that voter simply wouldn't care and then we'd all be as fucked as anyone w/o money is when they have to fight the legal system on their own.
