The Jack Smith Report: Final Report on Efforts to Interfere with the Lawful Transfer of Power Following the 2020 Presidential Election by Donald Trump and Others

Jack Smith was a career prosecutor with an impeccable reputation when he accepted the appointment to become Special Prosecutor to investigate election fraud and corruption in government. He was much maligned and threatened, however, a careful reading of his report will convince any reader that he was impartial and thorough in his investigative process. After four grand juries issued true bills for indictment, the investigation was stymied by the unprecedented decision by the Supreme Court that the President was immune from conduct in his office.

Some of the findings of this report were “Mr. Trump’s case represented ones in which the offense was the most flagrant, the public harm the greatest, and the proof the most certain.” The United States has always been a divided country, but we have relied on the courts and due process to determine how the law should be fairly applied. Without such a remedy, the separation of the three branches of government is in peril. When any president can usurp the power of Congress and delay and obstruct the power of the courts, our system fails us. Good and essential reading for all Americans.
