HANK JOHNSON: Did your investigation uncover evidence sufficient to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump knew that his claim the election was stolen was false? JACK SMITH: Yes JOHNSON: And did your investigation uncover sufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump publicly claimed the 2020 election was stolen from him while he privately acknowledged he lost? SMITH: Yes. We cited instances of that JOHNSON: Yet, here we see on the 5th anniversary of the insurrection, the Trump White House propaganda machine is still promoting the stolen election theory on a government webpage

Jack Smith was illegally appointed as Special Counsel by Joe Biden to investigate President Donald J. Trump. His illegal prosecution of President Trump was clear election interference and a blatant attempt to subvert the will of the American people. It's time to hold Jack Smith accountable.

Trump: "Vladimir Putin said something -- one of the most interesting things. He said 'your election was rigged because you have mail in voting.' He said, 'mail in voting, every election -- no country has mail in voting. It's impossible to have mail in voting and have honest elections.' And he said that to me because we talked about 2020. He said, 'you won that election by so much.'"

BREAKING: Jack Smith just eviscerated the Republican talking point that Trump was protected by the First Amendment when he attempted to defraud the American people. “The First Amendment does not protect speech that facilitates a crime. Speech that is used to facilitate a crime — a fraud crime in particular — is not protected under the First Amendment. The Supreme Court precedent on that is clear.”

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday that the administration is "looking into" executive action to ban mail-in voting. Leavitt was responding to a question from Elizabeth Landers about President Donald Trump's claims that mail-in ballots in California's election were under "very serious and legal" review. Landers pressed Leavitt on what evidence the administration had that this voting was "rigged," along with what authority the White House had to ban mail-in voting. Leavitt claimed without evidence that California's universal mail-in ballot system fosters "blatant" fraud, including "fraudulent ballots" in "the names of other people." She said the administration was looking into executive action to ban such a system. Trump has long blasted mail-in voting, blaming it for his loss in 2020 despite officials declaring that year's election the most secure in U.S. history. He has, without evidence, claimed it as a major source of voter fraud. Instances of voting fraud by mail-in ballot are rare.

🚨NEW: Scott Adams *TAKES SLEDGEHAMMER* to Jack Smith's testimony justifying "January 6 hoax"🚨 "According to Jack Smith, Trump was not free to violate federal law and use knowingly false statements about election fraud to target a lawful government function." "Now, do you see what's wrong with that statement? His evidence was based on his own ability to read a mind — because how would he know what Trump believed about the election?" "In my opinion, Trump genuinely believed — as I do — that the election was rigged."

Even CNN is now turning on Jack Smith after his House Judiciary testimony. CNN legal analyst Elie Honig zeroed in on the moment Republicans cornered Smith over rushing the Trump case right before the 2024 election — and Smith had no answer. HONIG: “To your question, Brianna, the last Congressman we saw brought up the fact that jack Smith demanded a trial date four months out, five months out in a case involving 13 MILLION pages of documents.” “There is no defense lawyer in the country who can constitutionally prepare for trial and defend his client on that short of time frame.” “The implication was you were rushing to get this in before the 2024 election.” “Jack Smith did not defend himself, by the way. He didn’t say a word about that, which I found, I found striking.” “And Jack Smith has always maintained this veneer that he never thought about the election…of course he did!” “Why would would you demand such a quick trial date?”

Trump says that Putin told him that he knows our elections are rigged and that Trump won 2020 🤯 “Vladimir Putin said something, one of the most interesting things. He said, your election was rigged because you have mail in voting. He said no country has mail in voting. It’s impossible to have mail in voting and have honest elections… He said, you won 2020. You won that election by so much… He said if you won we wouldn’t have had a war… And he said, and you lost it because of mail in voting. It was a rigged election.” Trump went on to explain that we MUST have reforms to our election. Changes are coming, my friends. Trump wouldn’t have spent 5 minutes talking about election reform if it weren’t up next on his agenda.

Dr. Shiva exposes a massive bombshell in the Arizona Senate about the 2020 election and mail-in ballots: "Almost all of the mail-in ballots that arrived after Election Day from Nov. 4th to Nov. 9th were duplicate ballots. Ballots from people who had already sent one in." This wasn’t a few hundred. This was the overwhelming majority of late ballots. This is when Trump was so far ahead on election night, multiple states shut down and injected as many ballots as possible into the election to obtain the margin of victory over Trump to steal the 2020 election.

It's so dishonest — Look at California with that horrible governor they have. He's one of the worst governors in history. He's incompetent. He doesn't know what he's doing. They send out like 38 million ballots. Some people get 5, 6, 7. Vladimir Putin, smart guy, said, you can't have an honest election with mail in voting.

Trump always knew their outlandish claims of election fraud were lies. He didn’t actually believe the elections were stolen; he thought he had a right to stay in office. (9/10)
