After SCOTUS gave Trump an assist and agreed with his stupid argument that he has presidential immunity for crimes committed in a presidential capacity, it was up to Special Counsel Jack Smith to skate around the bullshit and get specific. Yesterday, he unsealed evidence that Donald Trump committed crimes in a private capacity to steal the presidency.
The broad legal brief was unsealed by a federal judge. Donald Trump and his cohorts are screaming and howling that this is election interference.
This is NOT election interference because Trump and his team have been using delay after delay in this case of him trying to steal the election.
What was election interference was the Supreme Court making sure he stayed on ballots. What was election interference was that SCOTUS even heard the case about election immunity, sat on it for months, and eventually sided with Trump. What was election interference was Clarence Thomas sending a huge sign to federal judge Aileen Cannon to throw out the stolen documents case and then throwing it out.
Jack Smith wrote in the brief, “When the defendant lost the 2020 presidential election, he resorted to crimes to try to stay in office.”
One of the biggest revelations in the brief is that when Trump was informed that Pence was in danger from his rioters on January 6 and had fled the Capitol, Trump said, “So what?”.
There’s more…so much more. I’d write about all of it but I have to catch a plane, and there’s a weirdo wearing an Alabama sweater in the terminal circling me like a shark and it’s freaking me out.
Creative note: This cartoon was drawn entirely at Reagan National Airport in DC. I got to the airport kinda early so I could draw this cartoon. I got the idea early this morning. I didn’t sleep much last night.
I’ll be drawing in Montreal too. Martin, my editor at the Fredericksburg Advance, sent me an issue yesterday, I sent him an idea in a rough last night, and he approved it.
Drawn in 30 seconds:
