Voters Are the Jury To Hold Trump Accountable For the January 6, 2021 Insurrection


Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury,

On Election Day, November 5, 2024, you stand not only as voters but as jurors in a case that strikes at the very heart of our democracy.  The evidence presented in this trial has shown that Donald J. Trump, the defendant, engaged in a deliberate and unlawful scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.  Let’s summarize the key points that prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.


This Legal Brief filed by Prosecutor Jack Smith and unsealed on October 2, 2024 by Judge Chutkan is a government motion in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia regarding the criminal prosecution of Donald J. Trump for his involvement in a scheme to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

The defendant, Donald J. Trump, engaged in a scheme to overturn the 2020 presidential election results through various illegal means.

​ His efforts included:


1.    Lying to State Officials: Trump and his co-conspirators made false claims of election fraud to state officials in an attempt to get them to ignore the true vote counts and alter the election results in his favor.

 

2.    Manufacturing Fraudulent Electoral Votes: They created fraudulent electoral votes in seven states (Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin) that Trump had lost.

3.    Pressuring the Vice President: Trump attempted to enlist Vice President Mike Pence to obstruct Congress's certification of the election by using the fraudulent electoral votes.

4.    Inciting a Mob: When other efforts failed, Trump directed a crowd of his supporters to the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, to disrupt the congressional certification of the election results.

These actions were part of three conspiracies:

1.    Interfering with the federal government function of collecting and counting election results.

2.    Obstructing the official proceeding of Congress certifying the election results.

3.    Conspiring against the rights of millions of Americans to vote and have their votes counted.


If tried and convicted of the alleged crimes pertaining to the January 6, 2021, Insurrection, the impact on the democracy of the United States of America could be profound and multifaceted:

1.    Reaffirmation of the Rule of Law: A conviction would underscore the principle that no one, including a former president, is above the law.

​ This would reinforce the rule of law as a cornerstone of American democracy, demonstrating that legal accountability applies to all citizens, regardless of their position or power.

2.    Deterrence of Future Misconduct: Convicting a former president for actions related to election interference and insurrection could serve as a powerful deterrent to future officeholders. It would signal that attempts to undermine democratic processes and incite violence will be met with serious legal consequences.

3.    Strengthening Democratic Institutions: The legal process and potential conviction would highlight the resilience and independence of American democratic institutions, including the judiciary. It would show that these institutions can function effectively even under immense political pressure.

4.    Public Trust and Confidence: Successfully prosecuting those responsible for the January 6 insurrection could help restore public trust in the democratic process and the integrity of elections. It would affirm that efforts to subvert the will of the people will not be tolerated.

5.    Historical Precedent: The conviction would set a historical precedent for how the United States addresses attempts to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power.

​ It would become a significant chapter in the nation's history, shaping how future generations understand and respond to threats to democracy.

6.    Global Implications: The outcome of such a trial would be closely watched by the international community. A conviction would reinforce the United States' commitment to democratic principles and the rule of law, potentially strengthening its global standing as a leader in democratic governance.

In summary, a conviction for the alleged crimes related to the January 6 insurrection would have a significant impact on American democracy, reinforcing the rule of law, deterring future misconduct, and potentially restoring public trust in democratic institutions.


If Trump is not held accountable for his role in the violent insurrection of January 6, 2021, the potential threats to the democracy of the United States of America could be significant:

1.    Erosion of the Rule of Law: Failing to hold Trump accountable could undermine the principle that no one is above the law. This could weaken the rule of law, suggesting that individuals in positions of power can act with impunity.

2.    Encouragement of Future Insurrections: Lack of accountability might embolden future leaders or political figures to engage in similar actions, believing they can incite violence or attempt to overturn election results without facing consequences.

3.    Undermining Electoral Integrity: Not addressing the actions related to January 6 could erode public confidence in the electoral process.

If people believe that election results can be challenged through unlawful means without repercussions, it could lead to decreased voter participation and trust in democratic institutions.

4.    Increased Political Polarization: The perception of a double standard in the application of justice could deepen political divisions. Supporters of accountability might feel disillusioned, while opponents might feel vindicated, further polarizing the political landscape.

5.    Weakening of Democratic Norms: Democratic norms, such as the peaceful transfer of power, could be weakened if actions like those on January 6 are not met with accountability. This could lead to a normalization of undemocratic behaviors and tactics.

6.    Damage to International Reputation: The United States' standing as a global leader in democracy and the rule of law could be damaged.

​ Allies and adversaries alike might question the country's commitment to its democratic principles.

7.    Potential for Increased Violence: If political leaders and their supporters believe they can engage in violent actions without facing legal consequences, it could lead to an increase in politically motivated violence and civil unrest.

8.    Erosion of Checks and Balances: The failure to hold a former president accountable for actions that threaten the democratic process could weaken the system of checks and balances designed to prevent abuses of power.

Not holding Trump accountable for his role in the January 6 insurrection could pose serious threats to the democracy of the United States, including the erosion of the rule of law, encouragement of future insurrections, undermining of electoral integrity, increased political polarization, weakening of democratic norms, damage to international reputation, potential for increased violence, and erosion of checks and balances.

Failure to hold Donald J. Trump accountable for his alleged crimes of January 6, 2021 would shatter the belief that no one in the United States of America is "above the law" - no one, except Donald Trump.

In conclusion, as a juror in this case your vote on November 5, 2024 who is patriotic and believes in democracy, the Rule of Law, and the United States Constitution you must vote for Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz.  Kamala Harris is the only human on earth who can hold Donald J. Trump accountable for his violent insurrection of January 6, 2021 by defeating him in a free and fair election.

In further posts you will realize that Trump is attempting another violent coup to undermine free and fair elections in the United States.  You must protect your right to vote and hold him accountable.

For further details read the brief filed by Jack Smith and unsealed by Judge Chutkan and watch the upcoming trial in 2025 after Trump is held accountable by the American voters.  If Trump wins the election, there will be no trial because he truly will be above the law, with Presidential Immunity given to him by the Supreme Court.
