Special counsel filing unsealed in Trump 2020 election case

A substantial court filing by special counsel Jack Smith in the 2020 election case against former President Donald Trump was unsealed by a federal judge Wednesday. In it, Smith argues that Trump "resorted to crimes" after losing the election to President Biden. The case had been thrown into doubt when the Supreme Court ruled in July that a president cannot be prosecuted for what it called official acts. Scott MacFarlane has details.

Sedition is not an official presidential act, it is quite the opposite. Politico put up a link to the file to make it easy to get.

Happy to see Jack getting back to work👍
If you really think he is illegally placed in his position-
Why has Congress approved his payroll, security detail and entire office operations budget..? For literally years now, but also saying he's not approved 😮
So either they've all been breaking many laws for paying him OR they've been lying.
Which is it..?

Happy to hear thoughts..
Otherwise... Congress paying him, makes him legal.. and that's how you know the Cannon ruling is getting corrected.
