The leftists still have more indictments to tie Trump up. It is unbelievable that some on the left don’t believe that this is a witch hunt.

They don't care if it is.

I believe DOJ is trying to transfer this case out of Florida and up to DC. That’s a location where any potential jury already knows Trump is guilty, they just need to know what the charge is.

The most egregious aspect of this indictment was the fact it was used to cover yet another Joe Biden scandal; namely the 5 million dollar bribe he took.

Or maybe the most egregious aspect is the fact that boxes and boxes of classified docs were hanging out in Joe’s garage and in his ‘vette where Hunter and his chinese agent friends had years of free access.

Yet this is ignored while they focus on Mar-A-Lago documents.

We have the power of voter nullification going for us. The final say.

Lawyers VS Businessman..

The lawyers of DC are really pissed-off that a businessman would have the audacity to think he could stick his nose into, what they consider to be, their business.. Which just happens to be robbing, stealing, lying, cheating and pulling every underhanded trick known to man...better known as the art of "politics."

As long as Trump continues to "Endeavor to Persevere" the DC lawyers are going to be on him like ticks on a hound...

“I believe DOJ is trying to transfer this case out of Florida and up to DC. That’s a location where any potential jury already knows Trump is guilty, they just need to know what the charge is.”

Amendment VI.

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation...and to have the assistance of council for his defense.

The “case” is creating buzz because of an “audio” that may or may not say what it has been purported to say in the media.

What has given it steam is that guys like Dershowitz of Lolita Express fame who I don’t trust and Turley who cashes checks from the Evil Media Empire of Rupert Murdoch but to his credit has been calling things straight in recent months, have made dire comments based on the audio being all that it has been purported to be.

As with all things Trump, the reports of a slam bang smoking gun appear to have been highly exaggerated.

I guess it is just another of example of what was once looked down upon as sensationalism journalism.

But calling the coverage of Trump sensational journalism is inaccurate because there is no journalism to it.

There really is no such as journalism any more.

If there were we’d be reading a hundred times more about the real crimes of the Bidens and very little about the political accusations against Trump.

Accuse, attack, accuse, attack.

Sucks up his time, money, makes him look bad to some.

The idea is to just keep grinding on him, keep the negative news/media flowing (the lemmings feel there must be something to it), tie up him and his people spending countless hours dealing with this nonsense rather than his campaign, have him throw his money into defending himself rather than his campaign...

It’s political crap, BUT the folks today rather than getting nauseated and rejecting the demagogues peddling this junk, respond to it. They’re lemmings. Look at Covid, that was largely election politics as well and you see idiots walking around in wide open spaces with their entire family masked up to this day! Do I really need to tell you how good CNN/MSNBC watching folks like that are going to vote?

These vapid accusations aren’t worth the paper they’re written or the breath they are spoken with. Just trash. BUT, it keeps him on the defensive, in REQUIRES him to respond and that puts him in a negative light with the “news” gossiping on it 24/7.

For what it’s worth, maybe nothing.........

The indictment comes after more than 100 documents with classified markings
were found at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in August 2022.

Trump has been charged with 37 counts: 31 counts of willful retention of national
defense information; one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice; one count of
withholding a document or record; one count of corruptly concealing a document
or record; one count of concealing a document in a federal investigation; one
count of scheme to conceal; and one count of false statements and representations.

This is a win/win for the dems.
If Trump is convicted, well and good. If he prevails, it goes a long way for nullifying the sure-to-come cases against Biden and the other dems who are actually guilty of these crimes. Yes, neither Biden or Hillary were president at the time but, in the dems eyes, they are not guilty of anything, anyway.

i feel it is time for House to hit D’s and Joe with a barrage of impeachments, for Garland, for Mayorkas, and several for multiple Joe crimes, paralleling this indictment ‘insurance policy’ unfolding, with GA in the wings. fire with fire. facts have little to do with public opinion. it’s all about the perception.

The left is no longer made up of Americans. Vicious wild animals. Power mad freaks. From Biden down to that clerk in the office.

They believe it. They know it. They’re in full support of it. They want their political opponents locked up for the crimes of thinking and speaking differently from them. But they can’t and won’t openly admit that. So, they concoct these phony scandals, get their opponents charged and convicted in order to provide cover for their real, true tyrannical motives.

Absolutely true. They’re salivating at the thought of getting us all locked up for daring to disagree with them. Trump is just the start. And if they can do it to him, they can and will do it to the rest of us.
