Disgusting this wasn't started 2 years earlier; we likely wouldn't be fighting literal dictatorship now.

It takes a lot of time to investigate the entirety of what Trump did, said, conferred with, provided information from whom and to whom, what actions T took and what he asked for and from whom, what he actually took…a full inventory of documents and why they should have NOT been removed and why, who might he shared information with and their clearance level if any and country of residence, and so much more.

The biggest question is…. How can T be held accountable in the future to ensure 1) this doesn’t happen again 2) how any actions by T affect National Security and with what int’l players with documentation (email, phone calls, personal delivery), etc.

There was so much to be investigated because it was Pandora’s box, one opening created new doors which created more and more doors. A treasure trove of national security was and will be again because of T’s willingness to sell out the U.S. for a buck in his pocket because he’s a HORRIBLE person, business man, politician, potus, and former potus, etc.

I hope whatever charges Smith was going to bring will be brought at the end of his term, because there is no statute of limitation on selling out your country to enrich yourself and your business, for any reason!

Yes and because it does take a lot of time but we already had a ton of evidence coming out of the impeachment hearings the appointment of the special counsel could have started far earlier - As in, immediately.

Nope this last report is revised to show he did not act as president- but as a sneaky conspirator.

Smith has a team of attorneys that knew just how to break through the immunity BS it’s not known what’s ahead but I’m sure this is only the beginning - Trump is in my opinion a career criminal and stupid enough to think he’s home free with immunity

He is wrong - after reading page I of this file it’s shows no presidential action !

What I find interesting is how the Republicans in congress are all pretending that Trump is normal - here he is committing crimes while president and in most of the crimes of overturning the election, he had to drag so many ppl into it including congressman themselves Jordan MTG McCarthy and 25 others who were sending texts to the COS meadows to stop trumps thugs from beating up

Now we’re just seeing more ppl involved with plan B (my words) this time Attorneys of Ill repute all willing to commit felonies. Why? What do they gain personally? They all seem to think plan A the supporters stopping congress count .

All are for it

Until the beatings started - it’s like these idiots didn’t think that

1- these supporters would have to break into the capitol - they knew it was locked (Covid) smashing their way in is crime#]. 1 didn’t someone have a key ?

2/ why so many 8000 . Gee no one will see them sneak in .

3/ hang Mike Pence -

4/ seeing beatings in real time - how can anyone believe edit films -

These people were just pathetically bad at this “plan”

Trump has been caught many times in his life as a criminal got out of it never stopped and I think he never will

He thinks he is smarter than cops /prosecutors

I think he is stupid to do all these damaging acts of criminal just to keep his get out of jail card - in the end Trump is just a criminal and a stupid president -I would guess he will commit another crime as soon as he starts his removing immigrants . What do you bet ?

But now he's been elected and his plan is to have absolute power absolutely and he has appointed people who will allow him to do it as well.

We are in a very serious position right now and it ain't funny.

Just because he has people, doesn’t and won’t ever make his actions right. Jack Smith’s charges can be refiled as soon as he’s no longer president. I certainly hope he or whoever in the justice dept at the time, will refile charges the minute a new democratic president is in office….in four years.

Trump wasn't the President when he refused to return the stolen classified documents, so no immunity there.

Admit it DOJ- you allowed a criminal escape justice and this timing led th MSM to develops stories of brutal beatings of police appear necessary to the president of US as the work of presidential immunity-

This entire episode of a US president who failed all of us we hen he could not accept that he lost .

His crimes were vicious to police who stood up refusing more than. 109 violent thugs to get by them

As the beatings continued trumpsat watching on Tv in the White House kitchen. Everyone present begged Trump to send these thugs away - Trump wanted none of their demands as if he expected these cops to give up and let the thugs find congressmen. None of that happened . I remember that hour whe Trump finall came out and said “ I know you’re hurt!” T I these guys who slaughtered the cops slipping in their own blood . Falling on amassed glass and drenched in the floors urine that these vicious thugs had peed on the walls and floor . It had to be humiliating for these men to endure. Trump went on saying the election was stolen and everyone knows it - you are very special ! ….,

How can our government fail us by not arresting . Anyone that night .

We watched in horror he vicious attack on the US capitol-

Trump should have been impeach ed ! Republicans are a disgrace and should not be reelected

He’s only immune for “official acts of the presidency” not any acts for personal gain.

A lot of ppl are saying that - however Trump is very good ant sending out his thugs to intimidate anyone for any reason . That’s a possibility- he had a NY trial that was marked with shrouding witnesses and even jury’s were protected by having shrouded their names or addresses.

Judges daughter had been given special escort due to threats the judge himself was smeared daily

By Trump to his last day in court blaming the judge for getting convicted .

Even congressmen republicans are harassed when it comes to Trump . They were threatened by thugs ias they voted he be convicted and impeached .

We don’t know if garland has been threatened or not but I would not be surprised if he was. That’s why he announced special counsel the pressure to do something - got fearless Smith

It's extremely important to release the final report. It can be used in Jack's Smith defense when the hounds come for him. If not, they will destroy it and leave him hanging. The public needs to know before the attacks and lies that are coming soon, by Crooked Trump and his corrupt DOJ.

From what I have read from page one - I saw the attorneys who were later arrest

Powell Ellis and chesbro (?) are 3 who it was reported in detail about the deals they made with prosecutors. They were admitting their guilt in exchange for some of the charges dropped but they had to testify against Trump I read this in The Washington Post -

It’s interesting to read that Trump had told them to lie or make up evidence - that hardly qualifies as presidential duty .

Even if no trial is had we can be sure Trump is not innocent of that entire act of conspiring with attorneys .

Yes this report should be released .

Jack Smith probably has to leave the country as soon as this report is published.

Again, those who care to know will pour over every page and nod in agreement. Those who couldn't care less, (surprise) will continue to not care. It's a shame that America thought trying out a criminal as a president sounded like a viable idea. 🤬🤬🤬

Garland will refuse to release the report. He is complicit in all of it and does not want the truth to be revealed. Jack Smith, a fine and honest attorney, was used by Garland to pretend that action was being taken to prosecute Trump. I hope Smith can get himself and his family out of the country before the baying mobs come for him.

Because enough of us did not go out to vote we lost the election. Because we lost the election we lost the initiative, which means we are now the opposition. We are being put in a position of reacting to whatever they come up with. He's not yet president, so at this stage it's mostly just rhetoric. At this point what would you suggest we do?

Garland needs to do his job and stop acting spineless. As I have said before, why are these people in office and do nothing for the American public. I am sick and tired of Democrats letting these criminals destroy the country, but then again, why am I surprised, I am a black woman in America, a place where we have always been devalued, unrightfully. American officials need to do right by its citizens.

I sent a message to Garland imploring him to release the report when it's submitted...not that he'll give a fuck but it's what I can do so I did it 🤷‍♀️. I kept myself from quoting Roy Batty about how (if the evidence is not made public) "all those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain," but honestly I wanted to since we might be headed toward a far worse dystopia than that depicted in Bladerunner.
