You've never been convicted of anything.

As far as I can tell, you've never even been the subject of a disciplinary proceeding over the course of your multi-decade career.

But Donald Trump says you're a criminal and you belong in prison.

He says you belong in prison, not because you did anything wrong, mind you, but because you did everything right.

You pursued the facts.

You followed the law.

You stuck with extreme caution to every rule of professional responsibility.

You had the audacity to do your job.

Everybody here knows what you did wrong in Donald Trump's eyes and why he says you belong in prison.

You found, and I quote,

from your sworn testimony before the committee.

You found proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power.

When asked whether you believe the evidence was enough to obtain a criminal conviction against Donald Trump at trial, you had a one-word answer, yes.

When asked if Donald Trump was responsible for the violence that took place at the Capitol on January 6th, you said, our view of the evidence was that he caused it and that he exploited it and that it was foreseeable to him.

You found that Trump knew he had lost the election.

How?

Well, his own attorney general, William Barr, repeatedly told him so and described all of Trump's theories as BS.

Trump's top campaign advisors told him he lost the election.

Vice President Pence told him he lost the election.

More than 60 federal, state, and court decisions, including eight rendered by judges he appointed to the bench, rejected every outlandish election fraud and corruption claim that he made.
