Honestly, I read the whole article twice, and I don’t understand what the topic here is.
Seriously.
Why not indict him for walking a duck on a Tuesday?
Basically: he’s getting charged for January 6, over something or other. This is pretty much certain to happen, given that they are announcing it, and every other indictment they announced happened.
Federal prosecutors have introduced a new twist in the Jan. 6 investigation by suggesting in a target letter that they could charge former President Donald J. Trump with violating a civil rights statute that dates back to the post-Civil War Reconstruction era, according to three people familiar with the matter.
The letter to Mr. Trump from the special counsel, Jack Smith, referred to three criminal statutes as part of the grand jury investigation into Mr. Trump’s efforts to reverse his 2020 election loss, according to two people with knowledge of its contents. Two of the statutes were familiar from the criminal referral by the House Jan. 6 committee and months of discussion by legal experts: conspiracy to defraud the government and obstruction of an official proceeding.
But the third criminal law cited in the letter was a surprise: Section 241 of Title 18 of the United States Code, which makes it a crime for people to “conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person” in the “free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States.”
Everyone is saying this is making Trump more popular – which is true.
But it really, really does not matter, because the elections are fake.
Trump can’t win an election that features mail-in ballots.
Sorry.
That just is not ever going to happen in reality. It is literally physically impossible.
