When the electoral votes are certified, Democrats in Congress should use the Jack Smith report to bring the issue of Trump’s insurrection back before the full Congress for a vote to put our representatives on record. Even if Congress does not find Trump himself to be an insurrectionist, if/when Trump pardons the Jan 6 insurrectionists, he would clearly be ‘giving aid and comfort’ to insurrectionists by the plain text of the disqualification clause. This would be reason once again to bring the issue before the full Congress.
