Ex-US-Präsident: Trump in Dokumentenaffäre angeklagt
Der Fund geheimer Regierungsdokumente in seinem Anwesen hat für Ex-US-Präsident Trump ein juristisches Nachspiel. Laut eigener Aussage wurde Anklage gegen ihn erhoben. Seit Monaten untersuchte ein Sonderermittler den Fall.
Q: what do you call Trump being indicted?
A: a good start.
Now do Clarence Thomas.
Trump was continually "the first president who..." during his corrupt dynasty. This indictment is one more on a long list.
It turns out #Trump has been #indicted for stealing top secret documents. Now they need to indict him for inciting a riot.

If I were literally EVERYONE who is a #Republican in the #Congress, #Senate, or in the #RNC. I would be existentially TERRIFIED right now.
Why? Simple...
Trump will do ANYTHING to save himself.

He’s got all the goods on all these people. Financial crimes. Affairs. Their Epstein adventures and other probably much, much worse things.
…and he’ll use it.
Former President Donald Trump claims he's been indicted on Truth Social. And we're not talking indicted next Tuesday -- but NOW. This is real, so buckle in.

At least that’s the way it’s supposed to work.

The best part about this #indictment is that #trump will either shut up about the documents or double down with the bitching and bury himself.
If #Trump has been #indicted for #Conspiracy as rumored, someone else is in the pipeline. You can't have a conspiracy of one. Who will it be?
In a video filmed in his Bedminster office that #Trump posted on his Truth Social platform on Thursday evening, he declared: “I’m an innocent man. I’m an innocent person.”

Retention Of National Defense Info, Obstruction Reportedly In #Trump Charges
Federal prosecutors are reportedly bringing charges for “willful retention of national defense information,” per ABC.
If convicted, Trump could be disqualified from being able to hold future office.
Other charges, also reported by The Guardian, include conspiracy to obstruct justice, making false statements, and corruptly concealing government documents. #TrumpIndicted #trumpcrimes

History is always happening, of course.
But we happen to live in times when REALLY OBVIOUSLY HISTORIC EVENTS are happening on a weekly -- sometimes daily -- basis.
The indictment of a former President of the United States for federal crimes is one of those events.
A REALLY BIG one.
Trump indicted
Trump is the first former president in U.S. history to face federal charges.
The indictment was filed in Miami and per one source there were seven counts.
Trump is expected to surrender himself to authorities in Miami on Tuesday.
The only bad thing about trump being indicted is that his face is going to be plastered across my tv screen. I’m going to radio. #trump #TrumpIndictment

The hardest thing for the prosecution to prove in prosecuting Trump for stealing classified documents was always going to be his intent. Did he have criminal intent? Did he even know he had to go through a process to declassify things, beyond just "thinking about it"?
Now, they have evidence that he *did* know. #LockHimUp

Chris Christie threw his hat in the ring for the #Republican presidential nomination, further crowding the field. A crowded field is one of the biggest reasons why we got #Trump in 2016 - he pulled the most votes but was only around 25%.
He was able to stand out in a crowded field by good marketing and appealing to biases. A crowded field makes this possible again.
It's official, per everyone: #ChrisChristie is running. What a joke, although I hope he demolishes #Trump a few times before he drops out. #2024election
