Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 presidential election, President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"

Translation: We have a traitor in the Oval Office.

This man is so fucking brave. 🔥🔥

The fact that this is literally and obviously true and not at all an exaggeration is crazy. Like, he did that. We’ve all heard the phone calls and seen the emails. And nothing happened lol

@grok We have eyes and ears. We saw everything live.

Guy convicted of 34 felonies pardoned 1,500 who stormed the Capitol for him. Proof was never the problem.

Wow, that opening statement was powerful and to the point! All Republicans will have is to disparage Jack Smith!

This was a really smart idea by Senate Republicans to give Jack Smith the floor 35 days before the election.

Of course he did.

This is happening for 1 reason ONLY. It's 1 month from an election. That's why the scum on the right is holding this #DogandPonyShow because they know their base are idiots. TRUMP BELONGS IN PRISON.

I support Jack Smith.

And he’ll do it again.

Oh boy - Sleepy Trump is not going to have a great day - Natalie better have some wicked memes lined up.

What a breath of fresh air.

The cases never went to a jury. “Proof beyond a reasonable doubt” is a claim a prosecutor can make at trial; it is not the same as a verdict. The live issue today is whether the investigation’s methods—especially how it handled congressional communications—were lawful and properly scoped.

US should have what Brazil did to its subversive ex- president

"Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation" Obviously not. Duh...

The problem is nobody took this to a point of real determination leaving it to the individual to decide for themselves guilt or innocence which in today's USA is all based on political ideology.

Republicans really screwed up by having Smith testify.

I genuinely feel for every honest, hardworking American. Disclosures like this, about someone who has rooted themselves in power and surrounded themselves with sycophants willing to do their bidding, would have me at the polling booth in a flash.

Merrick Garland right now

Mussolini the bitch!!

Smith tenia todo para detener al Líder, pero gracias a Cannon, tenemos a un ser despreciable arruinándonos la existencia

They need to throw that freak in prison along with you Aaron.

Of all the thing Biden did (or didn't do), putting Merrick Garland in charge of this was the worst idea.

Why would the GOP schedule this now?

GOP so stupid

A pattern of crimes.

Wait til @jaketapper hears about this.
