"How did they become so deluded? Where do they get their news? How were they raised? Do they have any friends or family who disagree with them? Is there nothing they could learn about Trump that would change their minds?

Those are the mysteries reporters should be plumbing. Not just getting a few quotes and sending them to the news desk before hitting the bar."

"That’s the story of the decade, and here’s a sterling chance for some reporters to take a stab at telling it.

So when they find Trump dead-enders, reporters shouldn’t just be asking their opinion. They should be exploring their pathology (as best they can, which is not very, if they’re parachuting into a strange town for four hours before retiring to the airport Sheraton.)

How can they possibly believe that he’s innocent?"

Dan Froomkin's good advice to New York Times reporters and others ready to beat the bushes and find the Trumpiest diners in the heartland to hear MAGA voters say they won't abandon their man come hell nor high water:

"What they say is gibberish. What’s important is why they say it, and why they believe things that aren’t true."

"Photographic evidence included in the indictment showed massive piles of boxes throughout Mar-a-Lago, including boxes stacked halfway to the ceiling in a bathroom. Many of these documents contained highly sensitive 'defense and weapons capabilities' information, the indictment alleges."

"The indictment, helmed by special counsel Jack Smith, is a scathing accusation of national security mismanagement. The indictment alleges that Trump had a massive collection of boxes with classified information moved to his private residence at Mar-a-Lago as he left the White House."

Marcy Wheeler writes,

"Wrapped up inside Jack Smith's Espionage Act indictment is a public integrity indictment, a claim Trump falsely got elected on a promise he would guard classified information."

She calls this section of the indictment against Trump "Hillary's Revenge," since he couldn't do enough in 2016 to insist he was all about protecting classified information as he lied about Hillary and her emails.

"There are indictments that are sometimes called narrative or speaking indictments. These are indictments that are really meant to make a point as to the depth of the evidence. There are some indictments that are just bare bones. This is not. The special counsel knew that there would be a lot of people who were going to allege that the Department of Justice was acting in a biased or politically motivated way."

Suitable for Framing, first aired in November 1971, features a clever twist and a wonderfully sinister and pretentious villain - art critic Dale Kingston, played by Ross Martin - plus a strong supporting cast, including Don Ameche and Kim Hunter. Kingston brands Columbo a ‘compulsively suspicious bureaucrat’ - but ultimately paints himself into a corner … Also some great ‘70s fashion on show… www.speckled.band #columbo #television #crime #tv

"The indictment lists Trump’s many statements from 2016 about the importance of protecting classified information, all delivered as attacks on Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, whom he accused of mishandling such information. 'In my administration,' he said on August 18, 2016, 'I’m going to enforce all laws concerning the protection of classified information. No one will be above the law.'”

@mattblaze Trump also lacks the motivation for selling secrets to the Russians.

He's driven by ego, the need to be famous, the need to be admired, the need to be seen as important, the need to be the center of attention - all things satisfied by keeping secret documents he can show off to fluff his ego.

He doesn't need money. He's rich, and if he wants more of that, tax and accounting fraud is easier to get away with, and is probably more lucrative to boot.

"I am pretty speechless after reading this indictment

The evidence- the testimony - the pics - the granularity of the evidence is just stunning.

This case is a slam dunk for conviction beyond a reasonable doubt. ...

What is most striking to me is the level of Intent and Willfulness that the Special Prosecutor has been able to capture and articulate in the Indictment."
