Disgusting. Putting a federal heavy duty criminal charge on a valet as a way to coerce him into turning against Trump. Been trying to bribe that man’s attorney. That’s what happens when you get clowns like Jack Smith, resident of the Netherlands for a special counsel. I hope they enjoy their tyranny, because it will come to an end.

Nauta is charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice, withholding
and corruptly concealing documents, and making false representations.

*********

If he is guilty he needs to be charged and have his day in court.
Politics should have no bearing on this if he didn’t follow rules.

If no one knew there were classified documents in the boxes...why is moving them some kind of crime?

The whole basis of the prosecutions case is that people at Mar a Lago knew there were classified documents in the boxes. That is simply not the case.

But he moved boxes!!!

Department of Injustice and Jack Smith’s photos make him look like Hunter Biden’s sidekick. Guy doesn’t even try to look kept up and looks like an alcoholic pedophile.

Next time someone asks me to help them move boxes, I will tell them I will be charged with a felony.
Is moving a mattress also a felony?
Someone could have money hidden in it.

The Navy cook is gonna be charged

Waltine Torre Nauta was born in Hagat, Guam, and he served as a US Navy cook before joining the Presidential Food Service in 2012. Under Donald Trump, Nauta served as Trump's butler, body man, and gofer, and he continued to serve as an aide after he left the White House, appearing with him at campaign events and being paid by his Save America PAC. He left the Navy in September 2021 and came to be employed by Trump's 2024 campaign. From November 2021 to January 2022, he illegally moved several boxes of classified documents from a storage room at Mar-a-Lago to Trump's residence, and, in May 2022, he lied to the FBI by claiming that he was not aware of the boxes being moved. On 8 June 2023, he and Trump were indicted by a grand jury; Nauta was charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice, withholding a document or record, corruptly concealing a document or record, corruptly concealing a document in a federal investigation, scheme to conceal, and making false statements and representations.
For what it is worth department.

He has an appropriate name for someone who was in the Navy. Nauta is Latin for "sailor."

Bear in mind that he can change his plea at any time.

This is one particular person that Trump is not allowed to speak with.

So I'm sure they are pounding Walt...

But I'm still saying that Walt had no way of knowing what was in the boxes...excepts old papers/files...conspiracy doesn't fly if that's the case.

They charged this guy because without him there could be no conspiracy to commit espionage.

Without charging an agent of a foreign country, there can be no espionage.

I would bet this guy has more balls than any of the so called allies Trump has, got the look of a solid man.

"They charged this guy because without him there could be no conspiracy to commit espionage.

But isn't this a crime on their part?

I mean isn't this sort of like corrupt cops planting drugs on an innocent person (who maybe has evidence of their wrongdoing)?

Isn't that supposed to be illegal?

Anyway prayers that he (Nauta) prevails. 🙏
