One charge, conspiracy against rights, was originally intended to blunt the KKK in 1870
Special Counsel Jack Smith, who brought four new 2020-election-related charges against former President Donald Trump earlier Tuesday, should be "indicted for stupidity" according to one legal analyst.
Gregg Jarrett told Fox News that the 45-page indictment of Trump, in which Smith lays out charges including one count better known for being used against the Ku Klux Klan in the 1870s, is an "amateurish joke."
Trump was charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States, attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding and conspiracy against rights – the latter of which was drafted to counteract intimidation of recently freed slaves newly protected by the 14th and 15th Amendments.
"This indictment strikes me as an amateurish joke, frankly," Jarrett said. "Jack Smith as special counsel should be indicted for stupidity – It's that bad."

Exactly my point.
Ought be a hanging offense.
So Jack thinks it’s illegal to not accept election results? What a moron. Millions of us are violating his phony law. Hillary too.
Call it a political death by a thousand cuts:
Make him spend money on his legal defense.
Dominate the airwaves with negative Trump publicity.
Keep Trump focused on his legal issues.
Influence middle of the road voters
Conviction probability: very high, (it is DC)
Assure a Democrat is elected
Thrown out on appeal probability: Extremely High
2025-26 -- US Attorney General Smith
Mission accomplished
Is “Jack Smith” his real name?
Whatever his name is, he is a corrupt bozo!!
Rope, chain, pickup truck
Jack Smith and the clown show at DoJ and FBI would be entertaining to watch if not for the real world consequences.
We truly are a banana republic.

Law schools are vomiting out lawyers that are stupid and morally bankrupt. Many become judges and politicians.
“Fox? The Paul Ryan Network?”
I think we should just call them “CON News”... as in “Controlled Opposition Network”. And that’s what happens when you watch them, you get CONned.
On target
He’s not stupid. He is a legal and political assassin. He went for the political/legal kill shot just like he did with Bob McDonnell. This guy has no conscience so he doesn’t care if people think he is a bad lawyer (he is, but for abusing his legal power, not his strategy here). He gets paid to kill the enemy and he enjoys it immensely.
Or “Con Job” news.
Trump’s lawyer vows to use the new Jan6 related charges
to ‘re-litigate every single issue’ of the 2020 election.
An attorney who is representing former President Donald Trump in his latest federal criminal indictment vowed to use the charges to “re-litigate every single issue in the 2020 election in the context of this litigation.”
The Jan6 case gives Trump “an opportunity that he has never had before, which is “to have subpoena power” since January 6 in a way that can be exercised in federal court,” attorney John Lauro said in a Fox News interview.
Trump is charged with “conspiring to overturn his election loss in the 2020 presidential race” by pushing “fraud claims he knew were false,” which prosecutors say amounted to an effort to obstruct the electoral process.
Lauro’s comments suggest that the former president’s legal strategy in this case could include an attempt by his lawyers “to portray Trump’s myriad false claims of widespread election fraud in late 2020 as legitimate concerns at the time,” regardless of whether or not they were correct.

How about charging the DOJ/FBI, Brennan, Clapper with defrauding the govt. via Russiagate?
and holding them in a military brig for 18 months pending trial...under like conditions as the J6-ers.
And give them lots of company.
