Jack Smith: "Our assessment of the evidence is that [Trump] is the person most responsible for what happened on January 6. He caused what happened, it was foreseeable to him — and then, when it happened, he tried to exploit it."

Intriguing move which we should all applaud.

Senate Rs trying to screw US taxpayers for huge payouts to line their own pockets was one of the most egregious things to come out of that chamber last year.
Surprise move by House Republicans today to 'jam' the Senate by repealing a provision the Senate GOP stuck in the shutdown bill which allowed Senators to sue the US over the Jan 6 probe and pocket $500,000.

This new whistleblower report is on par with the Zelensky call - not just because it’s violative of law - but because they also tried to keep people from seeing it. I’ve been doing this for a long time and this is absolutely explosive news. Impeachable and criminal. Swift accountability must follow.

Donald Trump tried to steal an election and then pardoned everyone who participated. He is lighting democracy on fire. Is anyone paying attention?

Trump's pardons wiped out financial crimes that came with hundreds of millions of dollars in punishments:

Over half of Trump's 88 individual pardons are for white-collar offenses, with money laundering, bank fraud and wire fraud among the most frequent crimes the president has wiped clean.
Trump's pardons forgive financial crimes that came with hundreds of millions in punishments
The president’s second-term pardons have wiped clean dozens of financial crimes and significantly more fines and restitution than in past administrations.

ICE does not have absolute immunity.
Not to violate constitutional rights.
Not to harass.
Not to brutalize.
Not to harm children.

Yet Republicans voted against reining ICE in and refused to say, out loud, that no agency is above the law.

Accountability isn’t radical.
Impunity is.

We’ve grown arrogant about the rule of law, like it’s permanent instead of fragile. Jack Smith is right. Democracy isn’t given, it’s maintained. Democracy is flawed, but until we’re governed by empathy and compassion, it’s the best tool we have. And it’s easier to lose than people think.
Jack Smith warns Americans not to take rule of law 'for granted'
The former special counsel testified publicly about his investigations in President Donald Trump for the first time, saying Trump engaged in a "criminal scheme" to overturn his 2020 election loss.
