Jack Smith and the Hijacking of January 6

 Although the question Tapper posed to former president Donald Trump on the subject of January 6 seemed straight up, he based it on the falsehoods birthed by the House January 6 committee and given air by special counsel Jack Smith.

In his indictment of Trump, special counsel Jack Smith charged Trump both with doing too much and doing too little.

Little has been said about how Smith contorted the sequence of events on January 6 to make an obstruction charge against Trump seem even plausible.

To make his case Smith ignores Trump's specific appeal early in the speech, "I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.

"All Vice President Pence has to do is send it back to the states to recertify, and we become president, and you are the happiest people," Smith quotes Trump as saying.

The late Ashli Babbitt the day's most obvious fatality, stayed until the end of Trump's speech and did not reach the Capitol until after 2 p.m. She entered the building at 2:23.

Stay peaceful!" At 3:13 p.m., Trump tweeted, "I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful.
