Jack Smith accused the former president of a history of election lies and 'encouragement of violence.'

[ancianita]

9. Read Jack Smith's motion filed today. It's the blueprint for the government's prosecution.

"...In addition, his statements in this time period agreeing that he then held, and still

holds, enormous influence over his supporters’ actions is evidence of his knowledge and intent to

obstruct the certification, as he chose not to exercise that influence to mitigate the violence on

January 6. Perhaps most importantly, the defendant’s embrace of January 6 rioters is evidence of

his intent during the charged conspiracies, because it shows that these individuals acted as he

directed them to act; indeed, this evidence shows that the rioters’ disruption of the certification

proceeding is exactly what the defendant intended on January 6. And finally, evidence of the

defendant’s statements regarding possible pardons for January 6 offenders is admissible to help

the jury assess the credibility and motives of trial witnesses, because through such comments, the

defendant is publicly signaling that the law does not apply to those who act at his urging regardless

of the legality of their actions.

Respectfully submitted,

Jack Smith
