Smith Says Trump Would Have Been Convicted for Efforts to Overturn 2020 Election

Big if true.

But after seeing Trump actually and repeatedly convicted of utterly absurd charges, I'm not buying it.

I haven't read the report, and, being not a lawyer, I don't have the tools to evaluate it myself anyway.

I'll wait to see what e.g. Turley and Andrew McCarthy have to say about it.

My position is still: even after all the blue-team propaganda is cleared away, Trump's behavior after the election was nuts. And nuts in about the way you'd predict from him. In a better world, we wouldn't even have to consider him again as a Presidential candidate.

In the actual world, however, we have to think about the future more than the past. He can't run again, so we don't really have to worry about a repeat of '20.

In the actual world we had to ask: which future is likely to be better: a future with a Republican-controlled government with Trump at the center of it, or a future with a Democrat-controlled government with Harris at the center of it?

About the answer to this question, reasonable people can disagree.

However, for reasons I've repeated articulated, I think the Trump/Pub option beat the Harris/Dem option. And honestly I don't think it was all that close.

But, then, look at how often I've been wrong about that kind of thing...
