Guess Trump is Truthing out that he's been indicted.

First time I've wanted to regard one of his Truths as truth.

And the indictment is now confirmed by NBC news.

Trump says he’s been charged in Mar-a-Lago classified documents investigation​

Former president posts on social media that he must appear in court in Miami on Tuesday​

Former president Donald Trump said on social media Thursday night that he’s been charged by the Justice Department in connection with the discovery that hundreds of classified documents were taken to his Mar-a-Lago home after he left the White House — and more than 100 remained there even after officials issued a subpoena demanding their return.

Several Trump advisers confirmed the charges. Trump said he has been summoned to appear in federal court in Miami on Tuesday at 3 p.m. Charges would cap a high-stakes investigation that began in early 2022 and slowly built steam over the summer, until FBI agents conducted a court-ordered search of Trump’s home in early August. In the months since that raid, investigators have been gathering evidence to determine whether the former president deliberately set out to obstruct law-enforcement efforts to recover the top-secret material at his Florida home and private club.

Much of the investigation centered around the actions of Trump and his closest advisers following a May subpoena from the government for the return of all documents with classified markings. Witness and videotape evidence gathered by the FBI indicated that Trump may have sought to keep documents, despite having turned over some material to authorities in response to the subpoena.

Trump has long insisted he did nothing wrong, and accused investigators of pursuing him for political reasons.

Thread title needs added "Again."

7 counts. Trump to appear in Court in Miami on Tuesday afternoon.

Including an espionage charge, I'm hearing.

Trump again called this a witch hunt. Does this mean that he is trans? Witches are females aren't they? I'm guessing that Trump sees himself as a woman. Maybe he is looking forward to some prison time!

An indictment this week would be fabulous.

You were saying?

Please don't go there, Trump's sexual excesses are enough on themselves.

Dropped in at Fox News website. Lots of comments in ALL CAPS!!!!! with excessive exclamation points. Some of the sloped skull knuckle draggers were calling for a civil war. About what would be expected. Of course, House Republicans were jumping on the bandwagon. Ah well, so much for bipartisanship...

Still waiting the August surprise from Georgia and some result from the DC grand jury looking into Jan. 6 and the events leading up to the attempted coup. The Orange Turd better start fleecing, er asking his loyal minions for more cash to pay the alleged billionaire's legal expenses.

But today was a good day.

It is rather surprising that a rich man is facing some kind of justice. How much remains to be seen.

I rather think that running for President from prison would help his chances.

 

[Remorseless1]

Bet Trumpy wishes he supported restoring voting rights to incarcerated felons....

But Trump loves his rallies. Those will be difficult from prison.

As a wise poster once said:

It's more like he's such a naked and egregious criminal that the magical impunity shield normally granted to the rich and powerful by the justice system is straining to work.

 

[Birdjaguar]

It looks like MSNBC (Lawrence O'Donnell) has crashed (for me at least). I'm guessing too many viewers.

 

[Gori the Grey]

Ditto for me.

No, they turned him into a NEWT!!!!

…he got better…

At a certain point, an old man probably isn't worth spilling any more blood over. They fade anyways.

Old men are the thing blood gets spilled over...

Well...



The Man in Black pulled it off... I imagine Trump's promoters/publicists will tap into the same concept...

But that's assuming that Trump goes to jail... which... spicy wing sauce goes well with cloth hats, I've heard...

 

[Arakhor]

Even assuming that he did go to gaol, would the RNC/GOP/whoever really be insane enough to select him as the official candidate from within a gaol cell?
