M.S.W. Media. Welcome to Jack, the podcast about all things special counsel. This is a very special episode. This is part four of the audio version, which is totally free to the public, of volume one of Jack Smith's final

report on the January 6th case against Donald Trump. I'm Alison Gill. And I'm Andy McCabe.

So we are in the middle of reading this report. Currently, we are going to start here on the bottom

of page 87 with subsection B that Mr. Trump was not subject to effective prosecution

in another jurisdiction. This is one of the reasons that federal interests were served by

suffered the impact of Mr. Trump's crimes, warranting a federal prosecution accounting for all his conduct and the federal interests it implicated.

In addition, when the office was making its charging decision in the summer of 2023,

no other jurisdiction had initiated charges against Mr. Trump or his co-conspirators.
