Jack Smith, the guy handpicked by Democrats, to go after Trump under the aegis of the Biden administration, tried to defend his indefensible efforts to indict President Trump to a House hearing.
“When it came to the Capitol riot itself, Smith said, the evidence showed that Trump “caused it and that he exploited it and that it was foreseeable to him.”
Using the term ‘foreseeable’ is as good as an admission that Trump didn’t cause it. It’s an argument you make when you can’t prove intent.
Asked whether there was evidence that Trump had instructed supporters to riot at the Capitol, Smith said that Trump in the weeks leading to the insurrection got “people to believe fraud claims that weren’t true.”
“He made false statements to state legislatures, to his supporters in all sorts of contexts and was aware in the days leading up to Jan. 6th that his supporters were angry when he invited them and then he directed them to the Capitol,” Smith said.
That is an interesting argument with some interesting ramifications.
Jack Smith just laid out a blueprint for indicting everyone involved in BLM and all the politicians, including much of the Democratic Party, which supported it.
They made claims about the death of BLM martyrs like Michael Brown, Freddie Gray, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd that were not true.
So that’s ‘fraud’ according to Smith.
Then they used that fraud to raise money and build political support. They supported BLM protests and then the resulting violent riots and the damage that resulted are all on them.
And then they supported Jack Smith’s efforts to indict Trump over J6.
So the thing to do now is to start indicting them over the BLM riots using the same reasoning as their favorite witch hunter. What’s good for the goose ought to be good for the gander.
We have the ‘false statements’, we have their support for the BLM protests and we can show how they benefited from them. All that’s left is the indictments.
