Who did not know this? It is just one line on his long rap sheet of crime

Truth sayer speaks the truth.
It shouldn’t have taken Merrick Garland more than a year to start the case. It should have been from day one of the Biden administration.
Because of their cowardice we now get to live through four more years of hell and the chief conspirator will never face justice.

It’s so damaging to their fantasyland that they release it on new year’s eve. That says it all.

In whose name did they storm the Capitol?
Who appeared and gave a speech to HIS supporters?
And who did sweet F A to quell the uprising while they tried to hang his VP?
And yet ….

If Trump sees out his second term, and the regime is ousted in the 2028 election, could he still be held accountable for his 2021 actions in 2029?

Everyone near the levers of power who slow-walked the process in the name of civility and out of fear of upsetting the far right, allowing it to die with an election, is guilty. They had a duty to prevent the current state of affairs and they failed from cowardice. So many people appear to have suffered from the bystander effect and stood idle in hopes ‘somebody else would do something’.
*Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty*. This quote comes from several sources, and more than one of them is American. It’s not like it’s a surprising revelation.

Jack Smith when asked if he had evidence that Trump directly caused the Jan. 6th insurrection.
“Our view of the evidence was that he caused it, uh and that he exploited it, and that it was foreseeable to him”

I’m surprised this administration released the 8 hour video. I’m guessing it’s a brag to show how untouchable Trump is.
They do know how to release things 🤔

Thank you, Merrick Garland, for dragging your feet on this!

This was blatantly obvious to everyone. Yet Mitch McConnell wouldn’t convict, that spineless turtle.

So, I guess the question I have is, why wasn’t he?

To bad that the U.S. doesn’t have rule of law.
The Rule of Law is a principle where everyone, including the government and its leaders, is accountable to the same clear, publicly known, and equally enforced laws

Donnie got away with it because the 1% were fine with this…as they have been with everything Trump has done before or since.

Reading the transcript just made me more ashamed to be an American.

This would be an amazing breaking news story if anyone was actually going to do anything about it

Biden really failed America by not finishing this up immediately. Dems need to learn to play rough.

Trump supporters are pedophiles, the dint care that he is a domestic terrorist

Remember in the 50s when prosecutors would hammer clearly guilty people publicly?

Should have had warrant out for him as soon as Biden took office with political violence from his supporters be treated as they appear. The fact we as a country let him get away with by not demanding his trial within the year. The fact he put it off for four whole years and could still run is proof our system is corrupt and designed to be abused by a select few.

Why do you think Trump and Musk had to rig the election so he’d win?

>Smith told the committee that he believed he could have obtained a conviction in what was seen by many as the most serious of the charges: Conspiring to deny Americans a free and fair election by pushing to overturn the 2020 election.
Let’s see what he does when they lose bigly in the midterms and in 2028, assuming he hasn’t already rigged the voting.

You know, I think we knew it would cast Trump in an unambiguously negative light, but what I wasn’t expecting is how damning it is, indirectly, of *Congress*.
The Trump administration might be the actual hammer *doing* the damage to our country, but it can only do so because many, many congressional republicans heard this and other testimony and went ‘eh, we’re fine with it.’
Every law he breaks, they also bear responsibility. And they *knew*.

We literally watched him incite the uprising live on TV, refuse to defuse it, add fuel… what investigation was needed? Why did it take an entire Presidency to not quite act?
