#JackSmith repeatedly made clear his belief that the evidence gathered against #Trump was strong enough to sustain a #conviction. Part of the strength of the #Jan6 case, Smith said, was the extent to which it relied on the testimony of Trump allies & supporters who cooperated with the investigation.

“We had an elector in Pennsylvania who is a former congressman, who was going to be an elector for President Trump, who said that what they were trying to do was an attempt to overthrow the government & illegal,” Smith said. “Our case was built on, frankly, #Republicans who put their allegiance to the country before the party.”

Accounts from #Republicans willing to stand up against the falsehood that the election had been stolen “even though it could mean trouble for them” created what #JackSmith described as the “most powerful” evidence against #Trump.
When it came to the Capitol “riot” itself, Smith said, the evidence showed that Trump “caused it & that he exploited it & that it was foreseeable to him.”
