Exposed in the depths of his political depraft at this and corrupt and criminal acts has been laid bare. Not by radical leftists, or any of us in the media but by his inner most circle and the really, really committed ones as that. The Trump Officials who stayed on until the bitter last days of a bitter presidency tell us the riveting story of not one, not two but three Criminal Conspiracies that trump stands accused of by the United States government, in essence against the United States government. By the numbers jack smith has charged three Criminal Conspiracies, four criminal counts, named six Unindicted Coconspirators and shined the light on one who was willing to overturn his election defeat.
