New Court Filing: Jack Smith Shows Why Trump IS STILL On The Hook For Obstructing Congress on Jan 6 - Glenn Kirschner
Jack Smith just filed his opposition to Trump's motion to dismiss based on the Supreme Court's ruling in the Fischer case. In Fisher, the Supreme Court ignored the text of the federal statute that criminalize conduct that "obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding" and invalidated the convictions of the insurrectionists who did exactly that. So Trump filed a motion saying, in substance, "me too," seeking to have thrown out HIS charges for obstructing the congressional certification of Joe Biden's election win.
Jack Smith just filed his response, exposing the absurdity of Trump's claim, as this video discusses. - Glenn Kirschner - 10/16/2024.
