I'll go on record that we won't see a final resolution of this case for a minimum of 3-years. Minimum.

If the democrats retain power, .... which I think they will do,

66% chance Trump goes to jail for some amount of time.

33% percent chance the case is rendered moot by the course of nature.

1% chance that something crazy happens that we haven't even thought of yet.

Depends on how Judge Cannon reads the PRA and the precedents under it.

Were I a judge in her shoes? I'd ask the prosecution a few questions about how and where they obtained the evidence they claimed in the indictment. Read like SIGINT. Which of course would be illegal.

What specific evidence did they obtain illegally?

Gee, I don't know yet. But times, dates and duration of cell phone calls down to the seconds in length suggests something, right?

Ever heard of FISA?

A lot of moving parts to this. This will be drug out for years.

We'll be hearing about Trump generally, and this case for a minimum of 3-more years. Non-stop.

At least 1/4 of the news media will be talking about Trump at any given time.

Sports
Weather
Local news
Trump

That's all you'll get out of the media for the next 3-years. Same as it's been for the last seven.

Trump drives ratings. Trump moves the needle. And ultimately Trump keeps the lights on for the MSM. A lot of people happy about this development.

So Trump getting indicted is Trump saving and creating jobs.

Some of these MSM folks owe their living to Trump. If it wasn't for Donald trump they wouldn't have. a job. They wouldn't have nothing to write about. they;'d have nothing original to comment on. They'd get stuck on trans people or abortion. So they love to have Donald trump. Hot takes on trump will make or break a person in 2023

How would we not assume that at least some evidence obtained against Trump was obtained illegally.

They wiretapped Trump tower during the 2015 campaign.

Nothing ever happened with it.

Why we assuming anythign to do with Trump is on the up-and-up.

Some of y'all are so out there I'm tired of telling you what to do all the time. It's exhausting.

A solid contingent of y'all are monkeys throwin' poop.

We get that. But just try and work with us here.

And you are saying you know it was all obtained legally. But you know that 13,000 items were taken from MAL, including attorney client communications, Execitive Privileged comms, and so forth.

DOJ swore they had "taint teams" but that indictment goes into detail of comminications between Trum and lawyers.

I know you only want Trump to go to jail because you are a partisan. I want Trump to go to jail, WHEN he actually does something worthy of a prison sentence.

In the meantime. Defend Biden getting 5 million to fire Shokin.

HONK! HONK! the clown world goes.

Still curious about this

How do you know the communications referenced in the indictment were obtained from the MAL search and not some other GJ authorized search warrant?

I don't find it at all difficult to believe DOJ had "taint teams".

That said, I think the possessed of classified documents thing is a giant nothing, given that past presidents have done that exact thing in the past with zero consequences much less indictments.

To me, the exposure Trump has would seem to be communicating classified information to people that aren't authorized to know it, particularly if they have people providing transcripts or recordings of conversations where he admits to doing so and knows he is not allowed to do so but is doing so anyway.

That said, if that information was collected illegally then all bets are off.

He/She doesn't know anything more than the rest of us-

it's called "guessing" and pretending

that there is some secret trove of information that no one knows about other than the poster.

If you take the time to read the indictment, any fair-minded observer will conclude the evidence is overwhelming. Donald Trump admits to committing nearly every crime that appears in the indictment.

Read the full indictment text from the classified document probe (nbcnews.com)

From the actual indictment:

"Over the course of his presidency, Trump stored over 100 classified documents in boxes including:

information regarding defense and weapons capabilities of the United States and other countries;

United States Nuclear programs;

potential vulnerabilities of the United States and it's allies to enemy attack;

and plans for retaliation in the event of enemy attack."

It's the FBI and DOJ being controlled by God knows who through the Biden Administration.
Damn straight the evidence was likely obtained illegally or even completely fabricated.

That's the very root of the issue here. This isn't about Trump. He's just the figurehead here. This is political persecution by one political party against another using weaponized federal law enforcement assets.

This has similarities to the Soviet Union of the 1920s and 1930s Germany. We just haven't started the political assassinations yet.

Anyone see anything about this?

NEW: Special Counsel Smith's indictment alleges Trump showed off a military paper that he boasted was classified "highly confidential" and "secret," but the transcript reveals Trump actually said: "like, highly confidential" and "a secret." Smith omitted the words "like" and "a."

— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) June 10, 2023

---

And CNN gets away with "supposed" transcript from a "source close to the investigation".

Whomever leaked to CNN the existence of any tape recordings committed a CRIME. Someone on Smith's team needs to go to jail.

And for the LM Canes of the world, this is why those who do not support Trump should not be gleeful on this crap.

One day, the Gustavo will come for you.

the problem here isn't the crimes alleged. It's the optics of the whole thing.

The leftists are here screaming about some ticky tack crime because they don't want to acknowledge the truth: their hatred for Trump outstrips even their sense of basic civics.

For all of the classified secrets in these documents, they never seem to acknowledge that information exists in a place they can't control: trump's brain. Is it a crime if he talks about what he knows?

Jokes aside, what's the defense for the allegation Trump instructed his valet to hide documents that were subpoenaed?

If that's true, don't see what Trump can claim to make that not a crime.

And yet, Hillary instructed her aides to wipe hard drives, delete emails, and hammer cell phones to bits to hide - nay, DESTROY, documents that were under subpoena.

And she was given a complete pass.

Not condoning what Trump may have done, but the defense is that a president has been set with respect to high ranking public officials.

If you're going to give that kind of pass to a former Secretary of State, I'll expect the same deference to a former POTUS. Equal protections and the like - especially when PRA supercedes Espionage Act in Trump's case, but not Hillary's.

Nice cope.

Hillary should be in jail. I think any honest person here wouid admit that.

Unfortunately, saying "Hillary did it too" isn't a legal basis for Trump to escape the charges.

Since our legal system is based on common law, then it most certainly is a valid legal argument.

But she isn't. And not because she was acquitted. It's because DOJ declined to prosecute.

I would argue that treatment - or non-treatment - of Hillary's situation by the same DOJ could have set legal precedent for high ranking public officials.

"Someone else did not get prosecuted for something similar" is not a legal defense. Also, it was Trump's DoJt hat didn't prosecute.

From what I've seen, they are guilty as hell.

As the facts are uncovered , we will once again see that Trump is his own worst enemy.

For the good of the country, I wish that he would pull out of the race so the Republicans will be able to focus on issues and Biden rather than Trump. Trump should tell his supporters that he will endorse whoever wins the nomination and leave it at that.

Here's where we disagree.

Your argument makes sense in common practice, such as a speeding ticket, but this is a massively different scenario.

This is a political prosecution relying on a novel legal theory that has never been applied to one of the top three or four government officials in the country.

There is precedent even before Hillary of not criminalizing handling of classified documents in what is not a true Espionage situation. Trump has been singled out, and any argument otherwise is an attempt to split hairs.
