'The depth of lies is significant': CNN reporter breaks down Jack Smith's damning evidence

Raw Story  

CNN crime and justice correspondent Katelyn Polantz on Tuesday broke down damning evidence laid out in former special counsel Jack Smith's final report on President-elect Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. In breaking down Smith's report, Polantz found it remarkable just how much detail the former special counsel puts into documenting Trump's relentless deceit. "In one point of this report, Smith goes into detail about how Trump was speaking to Mike Pence, the vice president," she recounted. "Another thing Jack Smith considered was potentially charging Donald Trump with the Insurrection Act, but that law was used primarily back in the 1800s and hadn't been used much at all, so they didn't want to dust off something like that to test it in courts, even though it would have sent a really powerful signal."
