      “Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation,” Smith claimed at the hearing.

          Yeah, I’ll always defend Jack Smith. He’s done more for our country than any other single individual in the last 6 years. It’s not his fault he got shit on by a rigged and broken system. He did better than any of us could have in his place.

            Sure but it was NOT used to do the other. That’s why the other doesn’t exist.

              One is used to do the other in a trial. It wasn’t done because it didn’t have a chance to. In the meantime it was enough to get an indictment from a grand jury - admittedly a low bar but still something.

                That’s not really how that works. You find the proof and then go to trial…

                  Ok, but the in quote from the other reply he asserts that they did develop it. So what specifically are they missing that any other criminal case would have had before trial?
