The part of Smith's indictment trump defenders don't want to acknowledge.

[berg80]

As a candidate and a citizen, the Defendant had a right, like every American, to speak publicly about the election and even to claim, falsely, that there had been outcome determinative fraud during the election and that he had won. He was also entitled to formally challenge the results of the election through lawful and appropriate means, such as by seeking recounts or audits of the popular vote in states or filing lawsuits challenging ballots and procedures. Indeed, in many cases, the Defendant did pursue these methods of contesting the election results. His efforts to change the outcome in any state through recounts, audits, or legal challenges were uniformly unsuccessful. 4.

Shortly after election day, the Defendant also pursued unlawful means of discounting legitimate votes and subverting the election results. In so doing, the Defendant perpetrated three criminal conspiracies:

a. A conspiracy to defraud the United States by using dishonesty, fraud, and deceit to impair, obstruct, and defeat the lawful federal government function by which the results of the presidential election are collected, counted, and certified by the federal government, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371;

b. A conspiracy to corruptly obstruct and impede the January 6 congressional proceeding at which the collected results of the presidential election are counted and certified ("the certification proceeding"), in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1512(k); and

c. A conspiracy against the right to vote and to have one's vote counted, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 241.

We frequently heard complaints from trumpworld about trump's 1st A rights being violated. Nope. Smith specifically notes Don had the right to legally challenge the results of the election. What he did beyond that ran afoul of the law.

Illegal fake electors. That conspiracy is what will finish Trump.

And the invitation to, and incitement of, the January 6 terrorists.

I wish I could sit down with a bunch of the more ignorant conservative posters here and go over the indictment point by point. Then again they're in denial of objective truth so...............

Not if his SC can save him.

The dirty little secret is that you can indict almost every citizen in the U.S. for "conspiracy" if they disagree with you politically.

Smith is a dildo and wasn’t even properly and legally entitled to perform the job of a special prosecutor.
