In my opinion, this crime is a smoking gun case against Trump.

Conspiracy to obstruct Congress during an official act. This is a serious felony with serious jail time.

Like the Bannon case, Trump has no defense in this case. Congress was obstructed. A crime was committed. These are proven facts.

Trump sent the crowd to the capital. He watched the crowd storm the capital. He knew the vote count was obstructed because many people in congress were calling, Whitehouse staff were telling him so. What happened next nails Trump cold. He did nothing to stop the attack. Trump has no defense at all for doing nothing.

This is a smoking gun case. This single charge is enough to end the Trump cancer. If convicted he could never run for office again and he would spend years in jail.

1. One would think so.

But it wouldn't be the first 'smoking gun', 'open & shut' or 'committed right in public' case that somehow goes nowhere.

I hate feeling so negatively about the future, but in the last 50+ years there have been no consequential setbacks to the fascist right. They're right on track to get Deathsantis or another dictator in office.

2. At some point before that, he asked Pence, "Wouldn't it be almost cool to have that power?"

That "power" of course being the power to overturn the election.

From the entirety of his actions on January 6, 2021, and in the two months beforehand, it seems that there is enough evidence to charge him.
