I thought the fl case got assigned to a judge trump appointed.

At least he might have a chance there

He went into witness protection. Got caught running MDMA in Arizona while in the program.

No time for his murders.

His defense is he followed the law the same as other Presidents. That used to be a strong legal defense until now.

But Andy McCarthy and the Nazi Ukraine-firsters here said that Trump is toast (and they hope he is).

I just hope that trump assembles a very solid legal defense team.

I’ve left an analysis here several times for what it’s worth

The big supposed admission by trump that leads off the indictment is not an admission that he never declassified the documents.

He tells the journalist not to come too close to the document because the information in it is still secret. Therefore he did not try to hand it to the journalist for reading at least as best we can tell.

And he States clearly that when he was president he could declassify this but he cannot declassify it any longer and that the information is still secret.

The only logical interpretation of his remarks is that he cannot declassify it for the purpose of showing it to the journalist because the information in the document is still secret, however trump has it in his possession because he declares a fighter by bringing it with him when he left the White House.

If you think that’s a technical reading of his words, keep in mind they are trying to convict him using his words.So on this one they have to live and die based on what he actually said.

Trump is not an attorney and what he said to the journalist made absolute sense. He was holding something that he had a right to bring with him but which he did not have the ability to hand over to the journalist directly.

Your words bear repeating:

“You’ve gotta give Rat Party Headquarters credit...they’re clearly utterly depraved and amoral...but they sure have that lawfare thing mastered.”

Obamas’s Democrat Party is America’s Khmer Rouge.

DJT has the right to waive a speedy trial, and that would move it until after the election.

The most interesting piece of reporting in the past 24 hours is by longtime Florida political reporter Marc Caputo over at The Messenger, who points out that by indicting Trump in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, federal prosecutors are operating in a venue much more favorable to Trump than Washington, D.C., would be:

It will be called a kangaroo, deep state or banana republic court in time.

“Even if by some miracle DeSantimonious became POTUS-47 does anyone really think he will do anything towards the deep state? DeSanctus is the same warmed over $h!t in a new and improved package. WE ALL KNOW IT.”

Wrong thread - of course you know that -but any excuse to poop on Desantis is okay.

“Thanks for posting this. It’s good to see a bit of hopeful news here.”

Yeah, cause we realists (pessimists, actually) are witnessing what the left is capable of and has succeeded in doing already that we would never have believed possible even seven or ten years ago.

And hope springs....

before it stumbles, trips, falls and breaks its’ stupid neck.
