I’m glad the DOJ has released the report from Jack Smith. We need to trust that it will be archived and preserved, and thus available to read for ourselves or at least accurately reported and sufficiently shared.
In one sense, it’s not enough for Smith and his staff to have worked for over two years only to be stymied by the long “tradition” of not prosecuting a sitting President or President-elect. But this report will, hopefully, expose Trump for who he is and what he tried to do, as well as magnify the irony and the travesty of re-electing a person so lacking in scruples, intellect, and competence.
Smith may be a marked man going forward, but he should be able to sleep at night knowing he did his job. And well. In this unsettling reality where up is down, the true patriot may be the one punished, while the real scoundrel gets to loiter in the White House for another four years, unbothered by conscience, where he can tend to the only thing he’s ever been good at: making a mess of things.
