Notable excerpts from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s letter to Justice Dept accompanying final report on Trump 2020 election conspiracy case:

“While we were not able to bring the cases we charged to trial, I believe the fact that our team stood up for the rule of law matters. I believe the example our team set for others to fight for justice without regard for the personal costs matters. The facts, as we uncovered them in our investigation and as set forth in my Report, matter. Experienced prosecutors know that you cannot control outcomes, you can only do your job the right way for the right reasons. I conclude our work confident that we have done so, and that we have met fully our obligations to the Department and to our country”
Jack Smith letter (more):

“And to all who know me well, the claim from Mr. Trump that my decisions as a prosecutor were influenced or directed by the Biden administration or other political actors is, in a word, laughable”
Jack Smith letter to Justice Dept (more):

“It is equally important for me to make clear that nobody within the Department of Justice ever sought to interfere with, or improperly influence, my prosecutorial decision making”

In a 52-page sentencing memo submitted to a federal judge, former Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) has asked a judge for leniency at sentencing. Menendez’s filing specifically asks that “the Court should impose a sentence that relies heavily on alternatives to incarceration

(MORE)
In perhaps the most striking passage in this submission, Menendez’s attorneys argue: “Senator Menendez is not the typical defendant. His public office and the accompanying attention it draws distinguish him. And of course the charges of conviction in this case arise from his position, and the actions he took as a United States Senator, a position he resigned in worldwide disgrace after his conviction.”
Attorneys for Menendez, who was convicted at trial of federal corruption charges, also argue, “Senator Menendez—Bob as he is known by his family, friends, constituents, colleagues, and foreign dignitaries—is atypical in ways that extend far beyond the evidence presented at trial. He has lived an extraordinarily good life. One marked by great challenges— his father’s suicide, poverty, and forging a role for Latinos in local and national politics—and distinguished by deep devotion to his personal and religious ideal of service.”

MORE: Some interesting phrasing in Jan 6 defendant Jay Johnston's defense memo to court

"..Amid the chaos, Mr. Johnston soon found himself by the Tunnel leading into the Capitol Building on the Lower West Terrace.."
Defense: "Mr. Johnston found great success in Hollywood as an actor, writer, and producer including accolades for his role as the voice actor for Jimmy Pesto, Sr. in the animated series 'Bob’s Burgers' and as Officer Taylor in 'Arrested Development"
