On the menu today: No, the news isn’t in reruns; Donald Trump has been indicted again, this time over the classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. Interestingly, federal prosecutors are pursuing the case in south Florida, which is likely to be much friendlier territory for the former president than Manhattan or Washington, D.C. Are federal prosecutors way too overconfident about their ability to persuade a south Florida jury? Or do they have so much evidence and such a slam-dunk case that they’re confident they can win a conviction, even in the jurisdiction most likely to be sympathetic to Trump?

The most interesting piece of reporting in the past 24 hours is by longtime Florida political reporter Marc Caputo over at The Messenger, who points out that by indicting Trump in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, federal prosecutors are operating in a venue much more favorable to Trump than Washington, D.C., would be:
Former federal prosecutors and seasoned defense attorneys have this blunt advice: consider trying Trump elsewhere. South Florida, they say, is a hard place to get federal convictions against political figures and celebrities.
And Trump is both.
“I would absolutely try this case in Washington D.C.,” said Richard Gregorie, a former federal prosecutor in Miami who noted that Trump has far more support in South Florida than in the nation’s liberal capital city.
“People who operate in D.C. have no idea what it’s like down here. Prosecuting politicians is hard here,” he added. “The people are just suspicious of government all over South Florida.”

And by that time the damage,election-wise,will have already been done.
You've gotta give Rat Party Headquarters credit...they're clearly utterly depraved and amoral...but they sure have that lawfare thing mastered.
They called Gotti the Teflon Don until they finally got him. Don’t underestimate a weaponized Justice department.
We are now a banana republic
Thanks for posting this. It’s good to see a bit of hopeful news here.
Good odds with leftist judges and a jury pool filled with Trump haters?
But Andy McCarthy says Trump is finished.
DOJ and the courts decided he was guilty before they decided on the charges.
Their only option would be to offer deep support for Trump during these times, which they will not do.
This is already evident in the statement released by DeSantis.
Notice how in the statment, DeSantis called out Hillary and Hunter as the double standard in this case when Biden and Pence are the more relevant cases.
Stand behind Trump. Dont give in.
The RATS are great at judge shopping.Trump needs the best legal representation and so far they have been questionable at best.
The only reason they got Gotti was because Gravanomflipped and they let him walk on over 20 murders for his testimony.
Damage to,what?
I can’t speak for anyone else, but Pres Trump is the only person getting my vote. I don’t care if he’s in Guantanamo
Plan B is voter nullification.
Even if by some miracle DeSantimonious became POTUS-47 does anyone really think he will do anything towards the deep state? DeSanctus is the same warmed over $h!t in a new and improved package. WE ALL KNOW IT.
Now, now, careful, you are typing blasphemy against the sainted one. The Swiss guards will be along shortly to shut you up.
You can speak for me because this is not about Trump it’s about what is right, fair, just and moral.
“Gotti was because Gravanomflipped and they let him walk on over 20 murders for his testimony.”
I think you meant Sammy “The Bull”?
Sammy ended up serving time after that was all over.
I agree 100%
But I’ll say it again, stop electing the incumbent. Stop voting for Graham, thunk, barasso, Ernst, grassley.
I saw grassley the other day on Fox. Good Lord he’s almost as bad as Feinstein.
