In reply to the discussion: Trump's attorneys have reviewed draft of Smith's final special counsel report and want it blocked from public release [View all]C0RI0LANUS
(2,410 posts)We have watched the arch-defendant slink and slither away from justice so often that most of realized the battlefield to defeat Trumpf was going to be in the election booth, not the courtroom (e.g. federal, state, county).
And no matter how scathing the SC report is, and whether it was released before 5 Nov 2024, MAGA Republicans were going to vote for Trumpf anyway.
Trumpf's numbers increased every election:
"Viewed in raw numbers, Trumpf got about 63 million votes in 2016, 74 million in 2020 and nearly 77 million in 2024."
Meanwhile, the Democratic Party turnout for Harris/Walz was drastically lower in 2024 than it was for Biden/Harris in 2020:
"Vice President Kamala Harris received about 6.8 million fewer votes than Joe Biden in 2020, while President-elect Donald Trump gained around 2.8 million compared with 2020."
For example, Kamala Harris captured 55% of New York States votes to Trumps 45%, the thinnest blue majority since 1992.
Americans deserve to read the unredacted Special Counsel report on Trumpf as as soon as possible as this is the result of our hard-working taxpayer funds at work. But releasing the report before that crucial Tuesday would not have tipped the scale for Kamala Harris.
