Special Counsel Jack Smith officially indicted former President Donald Trump on Thursday for his retention of presidential documents following his departure from the White House.
The Attorney General Merrick Garland appointee was hard-pressed to cook up charges but somehow still confirmed Americans’ widely held suspicions that this is just a continuation of the deep state’s ploy to get Trump, which started with the Russia collusion hoax in 2016.
“Today’s act of open legal ‘warfare’ by the highly politicized and partisan Department of Injustice, has taken things to a new level, and set a dangerous precedent,” the Trump campaign said in a statement on Thursday night. “By politically weaponizing the DOJ, the Biden administration and their henchmen in the Swamp are now conducting an all-out prosecution of the leader of the current administration’s political opposition. This is un-American and wrong.”
As Federalist Senior Legal Correspondent Margot Cleveland repeatedly noted prior to the charges, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) appeared to share no “legitimate concerns” about the documents Trump kept in his Mar-a-Lago home. If they did, NARA failed to afford Trump the same help it gave the Obama administration in securing documents that needed to be preserved.
Yet, the Department of Justice still used the Espionage Act, which does not explicitly prohibit the retention of classified documents, to sic the FBI on Trump’s home in a dramatic raid last August.

I cannot believe that the other Republican candidates for 2024 don’t think this will be be done to them. I honestly cannot believe it. How can they not see this?
eff the banana republic thugs in the Department of Jesters.
They're all on the Uniparty payroll, with Epstein material on a hard drive somewhere.
I ain't voting for those greasy yellow-back scum.
They can see it. They're all in on it. They are the deep state. Nothing will be done to them. They are not a threat to the deep state.
Either they are clueless or they are part of the uniparty.
You mean you think the Democrats won’t attempt to defeat the Republicans and take back the House? Do you think their seats are safe because of some sort of back-room deal they’ve made with the Democrats?
The only people who hate Trump more than Dems are Repub establishment.
They see it, but maybe they really aren’t on our side.
True enough.
Especially Pence and his boyfriend tapes Rosenstein has had for decades— Pence’s wife hiding like a worn out bag lady in her “religion”. How they control people like him.
Cuomo, Taibbi SLAM Trump Indictment: Reminiscent of the ‘Third World’

They have the same goal: destruction of the United States and stealing from the public. They maintain an illusion of two parties to keep getting votes so they can have a semblence of two parties. It's good cop/bad cop. Keep people at each others throats so they can continue business as usual.
Of course they will.
The Democrats are the "Power By Any Means Necessary" Party.
Their problem is that the US is majority-Red.
Will they be able to create enough ballots to rig the House "elections" of 2024 - that's the question.
Joe Biden has weaponized the legal system to jail the leader of the opposition party. If this is about the rule of law, where are the indictments of Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton for their mishandling of classified documents? Where’s the special prosecutor for Joe Biden’s $5 million bribe?
They know if they don’t stop Trump, an oceanliner full of solitary confinement Supermax prison cells is in their futures.
Powerful incentive to be this brazen.
My bet is they plan on killing him soon.
But what’s the point of being in the uniparty if you lose your seat? Do they get a payoff once they’re out? I mean, I know they get a nice pension for their “service,” but is that really enough for them?
The Democrat-MSM loves the 'Third World.'
