| More federal charges. |
Former president Donald J. Trump who I refer to as Washed Up 45 was indicted on four federal counts in relation to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Special Counsel Jack Smith and a District of Columbia federal grand jury concluded that the former president committed unlawful activities leading to the deadly riot at the Capitol. It was a seditious attempt to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power to his successor Joe Biden.
Trump has been charged with four counts: conspiracy to defraud the United States "by using dishonesty, fraud and deceit to obstruct the nation’s process of collecting, counting, and certifying the results of the presidential election"; conspiracy to impede the Jan. 6 congressional proceeding; a conspiracy against the right to vote and to have that vote counted; and obstruction of, and attempt to obstruct and impede, the certification of the electoral vote.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Charges that could put him in federal time out for 15 years.

The politicized and weaponized DOJ is now committing election interference with this outrageous conspiracy theory set in motion to persecute President Trump and many innocent people.

Trump is top defendant. John Eastman, Rudy Giuliani, Kenneth Chesebro, Jeffrey Clark and Sidney Powell are co-conspirers under federal watch and are likely to be indicted soon.
The four-count indictment, the third criminal case against Trump, provided deeper insight into a dark moment that has already been the subject of exhaustive federal investigations and captivating public hearings. It chronicles a months-long campaign of lies about the election results and says that, even when those falsehoods resulted in a chaotic insurrection at the Capitol, Trump sought to exploit the violence by pointing to it as a reason to further delay the counting of votes that sealed his defeat.

Trump clearly knew he lost the election. He tried to manipulate Republicans in states that were battleground. He wanted to toss out results from Democratic leaning cities like Detroit, Phoenix, Tuscon, Milwaukee, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Flint, Macon, Columbus (Georgia), Madison, Athens and State College.
Trump and his moron squad thought that officials would take unverified electors and dismiss Biden's electors.
They thought wrong.
After losing over 60 federal lawsuits and the former president whipped up his supporters into believing former vice president Mike Pence would be able to stop the certification and throw it back to the states.
When Pence didn't, his supporters rallied and rioted.
As expected, conservative outrage and responses from Republicans as well as Trump.
