Who Are Democrats Kidding? Of Course Trump Indictment is Political

Donald Trump was summoned to the capital on Thursday to face historic charges. Many people are likely under the impression that he is accused of inciting the January 6 riot, but this is not the case. The word “insurrection” appears nowhere in the indictment, a striking omission after three years of breathless hysteria about an “attempted coup.” Instead, Trump is being prosecuted for highly abstract political offenses. Jack Smith tips his hand at the top of the charging sheet, where he blames Trump for creating illegal “mistrust” in the process and giving his supporters “false hope” (this not being the first time Trump created “unsubstantiated hope”) that he would remain in power after the 2020 election.
