It’s rare to simultaneously feel red-hot anger and wistfulness,
-- especially when merely reading a document.

But those are exactly the emotions that washed over me when I read the redacted version of special counsel Jack Smith’s brief reciting in detail the evidence against Donald Trump for attempting to subvert the 2020 election.

The #anger is at the #Supreme #Court for depriving the American people of the chance for a full public airing of Donald Trump’s attempt to use fraud and trickery to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential victory before voters consider whether to put Trump back in office beginning January 2025.

The #wistfulness comes with the recognition that there is about an even chance that this will be the last evidence produced by the federal government of this nefarious plot.

If Donald Trump wins election next month, the end of this prosecution is certain and the risks of future election subversion heightened.
