Trump charged with 37 counts in classified documents indictment
ABC News ^ | June 9, 2023 | Ivan Pereira

Posted on 06/09/2023 12:00:39 PM PDT by Trump20162020

Donald Trump was hit with a sweeping 37-count indictment from the special counsel's office Thursday, alleging that he willfully retained documents containing the nation's most sensitive secrets, including nuclear programs, after he left office, showed some of them on at least two occasions and then tried to obstruct the investigation into their whereabouts.

Federal prosecutors unsealed the indictment Friday against the former president and his aide Walt Nauta in connection with his handling of government documents.

What do public statements made before he was President have to do with the law?

He was a private citizen at that time with no access to any classified documents. If that is in the indictment then the indictment is an ass.

When you say “deeply tied”, what does that mean?

Does he have financial ties with them?
Does he have the same public policy beliefs as them?
Is it just because he is in the same political party as them?

Couldn’t you just as easily say that Ron DeSantis is “deeply tied” to deep-staters Jeb Bush and John Boehner?

Everything I am seeing is that he is deeply mistrusting of the deep-state and the main stream media and tech companies(to the point of hatred). They are all already censoring him. Maybe it is all just an act but it wouldn’t make sense to me why he is doing it. It’s not like he is saying different things in front of liberal audiences.

I truly would love to be proved wrong. It will be an incredible source of shame if I have to support a Democrat for the first time in my life in 2024. But if it is Kennedy vs 30 Pence or Nikki Haley or any of the the other McRomBushes, that is what I will be doing. (unless I am given better information than “deeply tied”)

37? Guess they had to one-up the Manhattan Grand Jury who indicted on 34 counts of bogus charges.

We can expect to see a very obvious supernatural event in the next several days. Trump will be released soon after.

Anyone not supporting Trump at this point is clearly part of the enemy.


Agree, and, have posted the same, recently.

THIS is a battle between good and evil.

I have been saying that we are currently in the 3rd American Dynasty.

The 1st Dynasty (Republican Dynasty) lasted from 1776 to 1861. We were a true Republic with a functioning Constitution.

The 2nd Dynasty (Democratic Dynasty) lasted from 1861 to November 22nd 1963. We were a democracy with a partially functioning Constitution.

The 3rd Dynasty (Fascist Dynasty) started with the coup of 1963 and continues today. We have no functioning legitimate government. There is only the bureaucratic shadow government who works hand in hand with the corporate interests to steer the puppets in the kabuki theater public offices.

I can’t wait to see what the 4th Dynasty is like. I hope I live to see it.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wants a law to ‘punish global warming skeptics

https://theweek.com/supreme-court/1024176/supreme-courts-surprise-voting-rights-act-ruling-could-help-democrats-retake


Commenting on Alexandria Ocasio Cortez’s (D-NY) Green New Deal, Jr. said that we “ought to be pursuing that,”

RFK Jr. noted that he and his family have “very strong relationships with most of the candidates.” He added that his children were working for the former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor and WEF Young Global Leader Pete Buttigieg, who is now the current Transportation Secretary; and Jr.’s cousin Joe worked with Elizabeth Warren. Furthermore, he said that “there are a number of other members of my family who are working for Joe Biden.”

All I can say is that I think they do to Trump what they’d like to do to me, if I was anyone of importance.

I’m fully aware that they intend to come after me once they get Trump out of their way.

I might as well be a Jew in the Nazi Germany era.

I am DEPLORABLE.

The persecution of people like me is commencing as I type.

That stinks. I was hoping you knew what you were talking about and could give some actual information.

If you ever come across any, please let me know.

And Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton are charged with NO counts for doing the same thing, only much, much worse and on a much grander scale.

Partner, we hear ya.

Still will vote for him but like all other Repubs, all talk. Remember “lock her up” well it became “I respect her position/sacrifice as a public figure” or some fluff/excuse he backtracked on. Now he might get locked up. Again all this “Deep State” mantra is just empty words. Trump never challenged the establishment even in his own Party. Now he is paying for that weakness. We are at war, yet he played respect “for the position”. See where that gets you, indicted by your enemies because you let them off the hook when you had influence/degree of control.

It’s terrible that he kept those documents in his garage and a Chinese funded office. Oh wait, that was Biden. Never mind.

According to the Indictment, Trump kept some of the documents in a bathroom and shower. See averments 5 and 27.

See my previous 52.

Also:

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has made a career out of championing environmental causes, told a Seattle audience yesterday that U.S. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., should be the environmental movement’s candidate of choice for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Calling Kerry “as much of an environmental champion as Al Gore,” Kennedy boasted to a crowd of about 50 that Kerry holds a 96 percent approval rating with the League of Conservation Voters, has long pushed for “the Holy Grail” of automobile fuel-efficiency standards, and had a history of activism dating to Kerry’s role as a Massachusetts organizer for the first Earth Day in 1970.

But Kennedy, a Natural Resources Defense Council attorney, vice president for Riverkeeper and president of the Waterkeeper Alliance, reserved the bulk of his 45-minute speech for a wide-ranging critique of President George W. Bush. Bush, he said, has pushed to roll back 200 environmental regulations and has the worst environmental record of any president “in American history.”
