Krazy-Eyez Killa Jack Smith and his superiors have elicited an indictment of President Trump that leads with a charge of conspiracy to defraud the United States

Less than three months ago, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote for a unanimous Supreme Court in Ciminelli v. United States that “the federal fraud statutes criminalize only schemes to deprive people of traditional property interests[.]”

the Court is in unanimous agreement: First, fraud in federal criminal law is confined to deceptive schemes to obtain money or tangible property, and to bribery and kickbacks; second, the concept of fraud could be expanded consistent with the Constitution, but (a) that could only be done by Congress, not by creative prosecutors and judges, and (b) if it tries such an expansion, Congress must articulate the new law with sufficient clarity that the average person can reasonably be expected to understand the scope of what is prohibited.

Looks like Biden and Son are the ones that have commited fraud according to the definition.
