In a closed-door interview, Special Counsel Jack Smith asserted his team found proof beyond a reasonable doubt of Donald Trump’s criminal conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results and amassed powerful evidence of obstruction related to classified documents. Smith stated his decisions were made without regard to Trump’s political affiliations or candidacy, and he would have pursued the same course regardless of party. The private deposition before the House Judiciary Committee provided the first opportunity for lawmakers to question Smith regarding the investigations that led to criminal charges against Trump, which were later abandoned due to his reelection.

Jack Smith Testifies DOJ Had Proof Trump Tried to Overturn 2020 Election, you say? Well, color me unsurprised. Seriously, the entire country, if not the world, saw it happening in real-time. It’s a “no-shit Sherlock” moment, as they say. The fact that the Department of Justice (DOJ) had concrete evidence, enough to prove the attempt to overturn the election, is significant. It implies a detailed plan, likely documented, showing a clear intent to subvert the democratic process.
The assertion that there was solid proof of a planned coup, not just a series of disconnected incidents, is a real game-changer. It suggests the investigation unearthed actual documentation. This goes beyond the realm of speculation and enters the territory of provable conspiracy. The fact that this information is coming out is interesting because the entire thing felt so obvious to everyone watching.
This brings up a significant question: Why did it take so long? Why the delay in taking action? Why was there not an immediate legal response? The investigation’s apparent slow pace allowed Trump to remain a free man, with the ability to run for and potentially win another presidential term. The fact he ran for a second term, with this evidence already in hand, is mind-boggling.
The evidence was public and undeniable, from the Georgia tapes to the pressure on state officials, the alternate electors, and the events of January 6th. The alternative electors alone are substantial proof of intent. It really does make you wonder if anyone who was paying attention could possibly deny the truth.
The fact that the DOJ, under the leadership of Merrick Garland, seemingly dragged its feet is a problem for many people. It really makes you wonder why the process was so slow. It’s almost as if some people weren’t ready to hold him accountable.
Trump’s actions were so blatant that the entire country witnessed it. We watched the evidence unfold live. He made no effort to hide his actions.
It feels like this has been the case for years. We’ve had the evidence for a while now. Some question the system’s resolve to do anything about it. It’s infuriating because it’s been in plain sight.
The fact that Trump was able to not only avoid justice but also run for office again is unbelievable to many people. How could he possibly be allowed on the ballot after all of this? The slow pace, the perceived lack of urgency, it all feels like a betrayal of the democratic process.
If there was proof of an attempt to overturn the election, wouldn’t that be enough to disqualify someone from holding office? The call with Raffensperger, the fake electors, and the events of January 6th – it all adds up to a clear and present danger to democracy.
The DOJ obviously had a lot of material to work with. They’re making these claims after the election, which is something that has many people wondering. This feels intentional.
We’ve heard the Georgia tapes, we’ve seen the pressure on state officials, and we all saw the January 6th events. It’s all there for the world to see. What’s even more concerning is that there is a belief that this will be even worse the next time. The warning from Bannon also speaks of this reality.
Is this the kind of news that should be in a museum? Or a book? Maybe both.
