Yes it should be released for the historical record, the SC regulations, and just the money and effort that went into it. There is a significant documentary trail of the events already though, with public hearings by the J6 Committee full of nicely produced visuals and shocking public testimony from Republicans in Trump’s own administration. The Smith Report would add somewhat to the current historical record, but I don’t foresee any bombshell revelations that go well beyond the J6 Committee.
Don, I get you, but not knowing who was interviewed under oath by the Special Counsel and his team, nor what they said, I am not willing to bet that no "bombshell revelations" will be forthcoming. Reinforcing that concern is the effort being made by the Old Convicted Felon to withhold it. Could be just his normal "not liking anything negative" getting into the mainstream, but, again, I'm not taking bets.
The Special Counsel report, and retention of the formality of receiving a criminal sentence, may be all the accountability our convicted felon ever gets, but it’ll go on his permanent record, a sizable asterisk in history books. That’s why he wants everything expunged and wiped away. The envelope of Mercian’s penalties may have no contents, but he still must receive the envelope.
That's the shame of it. I don't think the report will do much or say anything beyond the high level view. Unless there's the possibility of prosecuting in the future I would prefer we stop being nice and release a report with so much detail of the evidence that it will be insanely painful to Trump and those involved while redacting only the witnesses for safety (not that the new AG can't get the info anyway). Lay it out - this is EVERYTHING we had... all cards on the table. Then pardon Jack and his crew.
