SMITH THROWS THE BOOK AT TRUMP

TRUMP INDICTMENT FULL TEXT

Special Counsel Jack Smith Delivers Statement on Indictment of President Trump

“We have one set of laws in this country, and they apply to everyone,” said Justice Department Special Counsel Jack Smith, who delivered a brief statement to the press on the indictment of former President Trump. Mr. Smith also urged the “defendants must be presumed innocent until proven guilty…in a court of law.” President Donald Trump was indicted on 37-counts, with 31counts related to violations of the Espionage Act

As news broke that former President Donald Trump had been indicted on 32 counts, the world collectively gasped. Finally, justice was being served to a man who had spent years flouting the law and thumbing his nose at authority. But let's be real, it was also pretty damn funny.

I mean, come on, this is a guy who once suggested injecting bleach as a cure for COVID-19. If anyone deserves to have the book thrown at them, it's him. And boy, did Smith throw that book hard.

The charges against Trump ranged from obstruction of justice to financial crimes, but let's be honest, we all know the real crime was his hair. Seriously, what was going on up there? It looked like a bird's nest made of cotton candy.

As we go to trial, we were treated to a never-ending stream of ridiculousness. From Trump's attempts to interfere with the investigation into his own actions to his lawyers' feeble attempts at a defense, it was all just one big comedy of errors.

But despite all of this, Trump remained defiant. He continued to insist that he had done nothing wrong, even as the evidence against him piled up higher than his combover. It was like watching a toddler deny that they ate the cookies even though there were crumbs all over their face.

And yet, if justice prevails, Trump will be found guilty on all 32 counts and sentenced to a lengthy prison term. It is a moment that many had been waiting for, but let's be honest, we were also kind of sad to see him go. Who besides the clown car of republican presidential hopefuls are we going to make fun of now?

As we move forward from this dark chapter in our nation's history, let's remember that no one is above the law. Not even a former reality TV star with a penchant for tweeting at 3am. And if we can learn anything from the downfall of Donald Trump, it's that karma is a bitch. So maybe next time, think twice before suggesting injecting bleach into your veins.
