The attempt to downplay the events of January 6th was crucial to Trump’s potential return to power.
Trump-appointed U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon has decided to play the role of gatekeeper for special counsel Jack Smith’s reports on President-elect Donald Trump’s classified documents case and election subversion case. In a move that is sure to keep everyone on the edge of their seats.
According to Justice Department rules, special counsels must provide reports detailing their legal conclusions at the conclusion of their investigations. Just as Garland previously made public Special Counsel Robert Hur’s findings on President Biden’s handling of classified information, he will also release Smith’s report on Trump, albeit with necessary redactions.
Trump’s insistence on suppressing Smith’s report serves as a stark reminder of his aversion to truthful depictions of January 6th, particularly those supported by sworn testimony from numerous individuals, including former associates. Let’s not forget Trump’s disdain for the House January 6th Committee.
If we ever hope to restore integrity to American politics, we must confront the reality of January 6th head-on.
Of course, Trump will continue his efforts to rewrite the narrative of January 6th. He will pardon those involved in storming the Capitol, appoint conspiracy theorists to key positions, and attack anyone who dares to challenge him, from Liz Cheney to Jack Smith. While some of Trump’s more respectable defenders may not openly celebrate January 6th, they will certainly downplay or excuse the events.
For the sake of truth and democracy, it is imperative that the report be made available to the public. We need honesty and transparency in politics. It appears Trump is afraid of the truth.
