The special counsel, Jack Smith, has led a wide-ranging Justice Department examination of the efforts by former President Donald J. Trump and his allies to subvert the will of voters in 2020.
It’s not treason charges, but it’ll do. He’s facing 20+ years (not sure if the sentencing terms can be consecutive), and Smith’s show-don’t-tell approach is confidence-inspiring. They filed on DC, which is about as anti-Trump as jurors get. They are going for the kill on this one.
I’m waiting for the guilty verdict before celebrating, but I’ll allow myself to be at least relieved for now.
Don’t celebrate until his appeals are exhausted and the 2024 presidential election ends in the Democrats’ favor. Trump still has a lot of ways to weasel out of this.
