Special counsel Jack Smith has resigned

Innocent until PROVEN guilty. Proven in actual court.

No, PRESUMED innocent BY the court. Not actually innocent. A person is only actually innocent if they are, in fact, actually innocent.

When they go to trial, the jury (or judge, in a bench trial} must presume innocence unless and until proven guilty by the evidence - beyond a reasonable doubt in criminal court and by a preponderance of the evidence in civil court.

Out of court, society has different rules. If a thief mugs you, you do not have to consider him innocent until and unless he goes to court and is convicted. If you witness someone committing a crime, you do not have to pretend to believe they are innocent until they are convicted.

I would agree with this .... but that is not what is happening .... the only way this would happen is IF it actually went to court.

It seems as though you are saying that no evidence can be considered outside a courthouse setting. This makes no sense because the fact that it is DOJ policy not to try or even investigate a sitting president does not make the evidence against a sitting president magically disappear or become not-evidence.

It is BECAUSE there can be no legal consequences to releasing the report (volume 2, for the time being) that it SHOULD be released. Let the truth, the facts, the evidence be known. Trump is in no legal jeopardy whatsoever, which nullifies the need for the presumption of innocence, legally. Since there can be no legal harm to Trump, why keep the actual evidence secret?
