Special Counsel Jack Smith Releases Report on Trump's 2020 Election Interference
[TIME] WASHINGTON — Special counsel Jack Smith said his team "stood up for the rule of law" as it investigated President-elect Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, writing in a much-anticipated report released Tuesday that he stands fully behind his decision to bring criminal charges he believes would have resulted in a conviction had voters not returned Trump to the White House.

"The throughline of all of Mr. Trump’s criminal efforts was deceit—knowingly false claims of election fraud—and the evidence shows that Mr. Trump used these lies as a weapon to defeat a federal government function foundational to the United States’ democratic process," the report states.

The report, arriving just days before Trump is to return to office on Jan. 20, focuses fresh attention on his frantic but failed effort to cling to power in 2020. With the prosecution foreclosed thanks to Trump’s election victory, the document is expected to be the final Justice Department chronicle of a dark chapter in American history that threatened to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power, a bedrock of democracy for centuries, and complements already released indictments and reports.

Trump responded early Tuesday with a post on his Truth Social platform, claiming he was "totally innocent" and calling Smith "a lamebrain prosecutor who was unable to get his case tried before the Election." He added, "THE VOTERS HAVE SPOKEN!!!"

#2 
Liberals, Democrats and the DC Swamp has a long deep history blaming others for their own deeds and crimes.

I, myself, I am hoping for a series of Public Televised Trials for each of the Coup/Regime/Voter Fraud Leadership.

The question now is.
What stunts will they pull to deflect attention from their soon-to-be exposed, illegal subversive & treasonous deeds?
