'Donald Trump Jack Smith Report: Six Key Bombshells'
- "Attempts To Keep Vice President Mike Pence Mentally Isolated"
"The report claims that Trump tried to keep vice president Mike Pence isolated from everyone else, so that Trump alone could work on him psychologically...The report claims that Trump then began berating Pence that hundreds of thousands of people 'would hate his guts' unless he refused to certify Joe Biden's win in the presidential election."
"Mr. Trump wanted no one else speaking with Vice President Pence because he and co-conspirators were already implementing a secret plan to use Mr. Pence's ministerial role as President of the Senate to Mr. Trump's advantage...In the weeks before the certification, Mr. Trump began pressuring Mr. Pence to cooperate, both directly and by mobilizing Mr. Trump's supporters...In repeated conversations, day after day, Mr. Trump pressed Mr. Pence to use his ministerial position as President of the Senate to change the election outcome, often by citing false claims of election fraud as justification; he even falsely told Mr. Pence that the 'Justice Department [was] finding major infractions.'
(Now we know why Pence said "Im not getting in the car" when they tried to take him to a "secure" location.)
- "Secret Communications With Justice Department Official, Jeffrey Clark"
"In total violation of Justice Department rules, Justice Department official, Jeffrey Clark, allegedly engaged in secret communication with Trump about how to undermine the election result...As a reward, Trump allegedly threatened to fire the Justice Department chief and replace him with Clark, who is identified in the report as Co-Conspirator 4."
"The report states that in one post-election discussion, when the acting attorney general advised Mr. Trump that the Justice Department could not just 'snap its fingers' and change the election outcome, Trump told the acting Attorney General and acting deputy attorney general that they should 'just say that the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republican congressmen.'"
