From CBS News: Attorney General Merrick Garland has submitted to Congress a portion of former special counsel Jack Smith’s final report on his investigations into President-elect Donald Trump after a court order blocking its release expired at midnight Tuesday, according to a source familiar with the matter.

In his report, Smith wrote that his office began its prosecution of Trump because it had enough evidence against him, saying that “[b]ut for Mr. Trump’s election and imminent return to the Presidency, the Office assessed that the admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial.”

The report was sent to Congress and made public shortly afterward, following days of legal wrangling over whether it should partially or fully be disclosed to the public. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday declined a request from Walt Nauta, an aide to Trump, and Carlos de Oliveira, former property manager at Mar-a-Lago, to block volume one of Smith’s final report from becoming public.

That portion pertains to Trump’s alleged efforts to subvert the transfer of power after the 2020 election. Volume two delves into allegations that Trump unlawfully held onto classified documents after the end of his first term in 2021 and obstructed the Justice Department’s investigation.

Accompanying the 170-page report was a 4-page letter to Garland, in which Smith claimed, “To all who know me well, the claim from Mr. Trump that my decisions as a prosecutor were influenced or directed by the Biden administration or other political actors is, in a word, laughable.”

CBS News further notes that “much of the 137-page volume recounts information that has already been made public through court filings during the course of the now-dismissed case against Trump filed in Washington, D.C.”

The report also highlights images and details on the January 6, 2021 protest at the U.S. Capitol.  Smith admits in his report that his office “did not develop direct evidence — such as an explicit admission or communication with co-conspirators — of Mr. Trump’s subjective intent to cause the full scope of the violence that occurred on January 6.”

After the DOJ released the report, Trump blasted out the following statements on Truth Social:

Deranged Jack Smith was unable to successfully prosecute the Political Opponent of his “boss,” Crooked Joe Biden, so he ends up writing yet another “Report” based on information that the Unselect Committee of Political Hacks and Thugs ILLEGALLY DESTROYED AND DELETED, because it showed how totally innocent I was, and how completely guilty Nancy Pelosi, and others, were. Jack is a lamebrain prosecutor who was unable to get his case tried before the Election, which I won in a landslide. THE VOTERS HAVE SPOKEN!!!

To show you how desperate Deranged Jack Smith is, he released his Fake findings at 1:00 A.M. in the morning. Did he say that the Unselect Committee illegally destroyed and deleted all of the evidence.

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Last week, Mollile Hemingway of The Federalist asked, “With AG Garland working so hard to release the Jack Smith reports, when will he be releasing the Robert Hurt Special Counsel taped interview of Joe Biden? Why is he hiding that?”
