No, I *don't* think people like you and me can ultimately determine guilt - we have our opinions. That's why I said I leave it to Jack Smith & the Supremes. Trump is accused of many crimes (91 I think?) and some of them are on tape, like the Georgia 11,000 votes, and some are confessed ("Yeah, I had all those top secret docs. I was entitled to them.") I think he's pretty damn close to insurrection but if Jack Smith can't nail him...that's fine. I didn't like Mueller's findings either but I accepted it. Trump's guilt, in my mind, is knowing what was going down on Jan 6 and doing nothing to stop it. Throwing Mike Pence to the wolves. (I never thought I'd be legitimately worried about Mike Pence's life but I sincerely hoped he'd escape Washington). Being begged by everyone around him to put a stop to it and he didn't, for hours. He's culpable, in my mind, but I'm not, lucky for you, on the Supreme Court. It's the closest I've ever seen a President in my lifetime get to insurrection, and I'm 60 years old. So I don't remember Fort Sumter, sorry!
