Click here for a Substack article by Steve Schmidt entitled "Donald Trump: innocent until proven guilty."
Donald Trump disgusts me. He is repugnant.
I loathe the damage he has done to my country and its future.
I have contempt for the legion of cowards and cynics who abandoned their country in a moment of crisis to seek his favor and advance their self-interest. Whether it is the depravity of Rupert Murdoch, Jeff Zucker, who whored himself to Trump for ratings, hedge fund titans like Steve Schwarzman, who bankrolled a fascist movement for one more dollar, or Lindsey Graham, whose neediness for attention obliterated his oath of office for relevance, my contempt is immeasurable.
He goes on:
The American people elected a sick, corrupt and incompetent man to the presidency of the United States. In May 2020, I talked about the damage inflicted on the country by Donald Trump. The consequences will play out for decades to come.
I have long argued that Donald Trump is both a symptom and a cause of America’s decay. The simple truth is that no healthy democracy would ever elect such a man. A decent society doesn’t tolerate lie machines like Fox News, or conmen like George Santos in their parliaments and congresses.
Schmidt, a founder of The Lincoln Project, is a powerful enemy ofTrump -- yet he argues that Trump opponents must respect the law, and Trump's rights as a defendant must be upheld.
