Smith makes a point of isolating a single claim from each of five key states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania — each time punctuating the example by saying that Trump “repeated his knowingly false claim” on Jan. 6 itself.

I noticed that as well. A grand indictment, as the two Smith has now filed, has a biblical quality to it anyway, right? It’s a sacred, secular document, magisterial, judgmental, formal, angry in part, and in its repetition of key words and phrases and its parallel construction.
