Donald Ayer in The Bulwark
Society Board Member Donald Ayer co-authored a new piece in The Bulwark, “Jack Smith Should Be Investigating Trump’s Current Election Conduct.” In it, he writes:
The pre-election public record is full of clues—flashing red lights, really—that Donald Trump is preparing to try to steal the vote again if he loses. The Justice Department should be investigating it now …
If Donald Trump loses the election, and if there are grounds to believe that he has committed another round of election-related crimes, a subsequent prosecution could proceed far more expeditiously than the current one. After all, as to criminal misconduct in 2024, Trump would get no cloak of presidential immunity fashioned by John Roberts’s Court, as he received for his 2020-election schemes. For any efforts to steal the 2024 election, private citizen and candidate Trump would have to face justice based on the facts and the law. This time, Trump is acting at his peril.
