Roger that.

In case you've been in a semi-comatose state due to the extreme heat or the extreme flooding or the truly unparalled state of affairs in general, you might not know that the former POTUS was indicted by Special Counsel Jack Smith this week. You probably do know, but you might not have read the actual indictment.

Here's the first couple of pages. It's a pretty easy read:

IN T H E UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR T H E DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA vs

DONALD J . TRUMP,
Defendant.

VIOLATIONS:

Count 1: 18 U.S.C. § 371
(Conspiracy to Defraud the United
States)

Count 2: 18 U.S.C. § 1512(k)
(Conspiracy to Obstruct an Official
Proceeding)

Count 3: 18 U.S.C. §§ 1512(c)(2), 2
(Obstruction of and Attempt to
Obstruct an Official Proceeding)

Count 4: 18 U.S.C. § 241
(Conspiracy Against Rights)

INDICTMENT
The Grand Jury charges that, at all times material to this Indictment, on or about the dates and at the approximate times stated below:

INTRODUCTION

1. The Defendant, DONALD J . TRUMP, was the forty-fifth President of the United States and a candidate for re-election in 2020. The Defendant lost the 2020 presidential election.

2. Despite having lost, the Defendant was determined to remain in power. So for more than two months following election day on November 3, 2020, the Defendant spread lies that there had been outcome-determinative fraud in the election and that he had actually won. These claims were false, and the Defendant knew that they were false. But the Defendant repeated and widely disseminated them anyway—to make his knowingly false claims appear legitimate, create an intense national atmosphere of mistrust and anger, and erode public faith in the administration of the election.

3. The Defendant had a right, like every American, to speak publicly about the election and even to claim, falsely, that there had been outcome-determinative fraud during the election and that he had won. He was also entitled to formally challenge the results of the election through lawful and appropriate means, such as by seeking recounts or audits of the popular votein states or filing lawsuits challenging ballots and procedures. Indeed, in many cases, the Defendant did pursue these methods of contesting the election results. His efforts to change the outcome in any state through recounts, audits, or legal challenges were uniformly unsuccessful.

4. Shortly after election day, the Defendant also pursued unlawful means of discounting legitimate votes and subverting the election results. In so doing, the Defendant perpetrated three criminal conspiracies:

a. A conspiracy to defraud the United States by using dishonesty, fraud, and
deceit to impair, obstruct, and defeat
the lawful federal government function
by which the results of the presidential election are collected, counted, and
certified by the federal government, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371;

b. A conspiracy to corruptly obstruct and impede the January 6 congressional proceeding at which the collected results of the presidential election are counted and certified ("the certification proceeding"), in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1512(k);and

c. A conspiracy against the right to vote and to have one's vote counted, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 241.

Each of these conspiracies—which built on the widespread mistrust the Defendant was creating through pervasive and destabilizing lies about election fraud—targeted a bedrock function of the United States federal government: the nation's process of collecting, counting, and certifying the results of the presidential election ("the federal government function")."

It continues:

The Conspiracy

6. From on or about November 14, 2020, through on or about January 20, 2021, in the District of Columbia and elsewhere, the Defendant, DONALD J . TRUMP, did knowingly combine, conspire, confederate, and agree with co-conspirators, known and unknown to the Grand Jury, to defraud the United States by using dishonesty, fraud, and deceit to impair, obstruct, and defeat the lawful federal government function by which the results of the presidential election are collected, counted, and certified by the federal government.

Purpose of the Conspiracy

 7. The purpose of the conspiracy was to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 presidential election by using knowingly false claims of election fraud to obstruct the federal government function by which those results are collected, counted, and certified."

The R's and the R Media will come out and say that this is about free speech. It is not. It is about criminal actions that resulted in an attack on the Capitol with resulting death, casualties, and a deep wound on the National body politic.

The rest of the indictment states the case plainly and effectively.

He and his fellow conspirators for the first time in our nation's history did knowingly combine, conspire, confederate, and agree with co-conspirators to defraud the United States by using dishonesty, fraud, and deceit to impair, obstruct, and defeat the certification of our national election in order to illegally remain in power.

This is not about free speech. 

It's about breaking the Law
