Federal Indictment of Donald Trump

[0nelilreb]

Yeah, ran on smaller government, lowering taxes, segregation, law and order, state’s rights, pro-industry, staunch Christian… has that liberal thing down pat

Suspicions confirmed on your understanding.

Populist

Conservative

Populist

Potato head liberal that will say yes or no when told to by a prompter or an earpiece . Based on past comments from him to others , would have no problems becoming a populist , conservative or identifying as a purple hippo if it kept him in power longer . There’s no article ( that I’ve seen ) that says Wallace was a conservative . I’ve looked

Just when you think the democrats outsmarted Trump, it’s going to end up backfiring on their a$$es.

If he wasn’t thinking about running, I’m sure he will now. There’s enough dirt and corruption for Trump to sway voters in the 2024 election.

This post doesn't make any sense.

The content contained within the documents collected at Mar-A-Lago does matter.

... and as a Democrat, I hope Trump does run. The reality is, Gov. Ron DeSantis would be a much tougher nominee to beat.

 

[RikidyBones]

My understanding this far is that it has to do with the storage of those documents. When they met a few months ago with trumps attorneys, they wabted the boxes of documents secured better...apparently it wasn't done well enough..

But they had to break into a safe for it? Seems secured.

 

[BowlBrother85]

Biden didn’t get 81m votes. No way he got 12m more than the record votes Obama received in 2008. Trump will beat Biden in 2024 if that is the matchup again.

This logic is so ridiculous.

Did the same number of people vote in 2020, as had voted in 2008? No. There were 26 million more votes cast in 2020.

This makes as much sense as saying, "There is no way Jimmy Carter received 6 million more votes in 1976 than JFK did in 1960."

Of course, there is a way ... when 12 million more people voted in 1976, than in 1960! That is the dumbest, most non-sensical logic.

Except for the FBI getting ground to a pulp between political parties because they won’t refuse to be used as an election propaganda tool .. nope

If this was so dire why didn't they handle it in June? If they saw top secret labeled documents in his possession why weren't they immediately seized ?

"Five days later, on June 8, Trump's attorneys received a letter from investigators asking them to further secure the room where the documents were stored. Aides subsequently added a padlock to the room. "

"But the chair of the House Oversight Committee, which is investigating Trump's handling of documents, called on the Justice Department to "fully investigate" the former President's handling of information."
"Presidents have a solemn duty to protect America's national security, and allegations that former President Trump put our security at risk by mishandling classified information warrant the utmost scrutiny," Democratic Rep. Carolyn Maloney of New York said.
"Although details of today's actions at Mar-a-Lago are still emerging, it is clear that the Department of Justice must fully investigate President Trump's potentially grave mishandling of classified information."

Sounds dire enough to immediately communicate through a letter and sign off on the extra security measure of a padlock.

Sure, drip drip for another month or so then magically enough to bring charges will be found in late October.

Imagine if the FBI had raided Joe Biden’s home when he was still running for office.

Guess the far right was right. Trump should have used the DOJ to attack his political opponents before they attacked him.

It boggles the mind that every single person in this country isn’t cringing at such a public display of political power using our 3 letter agencies in the last several years . I don’t care what tribe you vote for , the unlimited power of a federal agency going after anyone should scare the hell out of everyone . Trump is a billionaire and able to keep his head above water ( so far ) any of us would be beyond screwed to a point that our families would never recover from . Unless you are a Woman’s basketball star , or at least a multimillionaire , you wouldn’t even get a headline in the local news .

"The FBI has arrested Melania Trump for plagiarizing Paula Deen's banana pudding recipe. The FBI found the recipe amongst the 15 boxes of documents seized in August . The former First Lady was trying to pass off the recipe as an old Yugoslavian family favorite. CNN analysts believe this should prevent her husband from holding office ever again."

The ends justify the means mentality. It's great when you're in power.

 

[LouderVol]

No conspiracy theories here. It’s simply a blatant misuse of power. Clinton lied to the FBI. Comey said so himself. That’s perjury. Nothing happened. Clinton’s house was never raised by the FBI.

I love your conjecture about me. It’s really great. I have never given Trump a dime and never will. Trump has never done anything near what Biden has done with the FBI. But hey keep that conjecture coming though.

I really appreciate the argument about the Hillary investigation because Trump hadnt even been elected yet, wasnt even favored. So I really dont know why anyone would even argue the FBI was doing Trumps dirty work by investigating Hilary.

 

[BowlBrother85]

Guess the far right was right. Trump should have used the DOJ to attack his political opponents before they attacked him.

The current Director of the FBI, Christopher Wray, is a member of the Republican Party, who was nominated to the post by then-President Donald Trump in 2017.

That is an inconvenient fact to this narrative that, "This is just another politically partisan witch hunt by the Democrats."

Christopher Wray is not a Democrat. His nomination in 2017 was confirmed by a Republican-led Senate, with votes from Trump allies such as Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Marco Rubio and Josh Hawley, who all spoke glowingly of him at the time... and we have this quote from President Donald Trump in 2017, as well :

"We will have a great FBI director. I think he's doing really well and we're very proud of that choice. I think I've done a great service to the country by choosing him. He will make us all proud, and I think someday we'll see that and hopefully someday soon."

The crazy thing about the FBI/Hillary thing is that while simultaneously “investigating” her server issue, admitting she lied under oath, deposing her but never “raiding” her home, they were also obtaining and renewing the FISA applications to spy on Carter Page and propagate the line that Trump was a Russian asset.

So….we trust the FBI???

You would have a hard time trying to find any Republican comments critical of FBI Director Christopher Wray, prior to this raid.

 

[2EastTnVols]

If Trump had just handed over EVERYTHING he took, this wouldn’t have happened. He held on to something for a reason, and we don’t know what that reason it but it’s apparently important enough to raid the dudes house. His grandstanding and ego brought this on, not some political witch hunt

Yes I'm sure that if Trump had just handed over whatever the hell they're saying he was withholding everything would've been hunky dory. We all know they would have just found another bs reason to vilify him. And anyone who believes otherwise is lying to themself or just stupid.

 

[Grand Vol]

Why would the DOJ be asking Biden for approval of their investigations? Since when does the president have a say in criminal investigations? By the way, anything to back up your no-knock warrant assertion yet?

Because they are raiding a former President of the United States and they are going to get raked over the coals for the reasons why?

Don't be so daft.

It's amazing that more don't recognize that fact. Just because the abuse is directed toward someone/something you don't like doesn't make it right. It also doesn't preclude that same abuse being directed against you or somethone/something you favor and support. Once the toothpaste is out of the tube.....

... or maybe we realize that the current FBI Director, Christopher Wray, is a Trump-nominated Republican. Therefore, we will wait for some public disclosure concerning the content of the documents seized during the raid at Mar-A-Lago.

He was asked/told to hand over the docs 6 months ago. If he held on to them then this isn't a surprise
