Former President Donald Trump has been indicted on charges related to special counsel Jack Smith's probe into efforts to overturn the 2020 election, sources with direct knowledge tell ABC News.

It marks the third time the former president has been indicted on criminal charges, following his indictment last month in the special counsel's probe into his handling of classified materials after leaving office, and his indictment in April on New York state charges of falsifying business records in connection with a hush money payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.

Trump, who has decried the probes as political witch hunts, pleaded not guilty to all charges in both those cases.

Turley on The Five says the case will be hard pressed to prove the counts. Thinks Smith over reached.

No funny quips or smart ass remarks.

What makes you think they were funny quips or smart ass remarks?

It doesn’t matter, a rubicon has been crossed and I fear genuinely what comes next.

Read the law links and you’ll know how ridiculous this is.

Thanks. Yes... the charges are ridiculous. Judging from his presser he’ll try to invoke sympathy for the capital police to make a case based on emotion and fear. In DC that will work.

I was speaking in general I wasn’t talking about your remarks. I have no problem as to what you wrote.

“The results may be something they do not expect.”

They already know what will happen. A lot of angry rhetoric on the internet and nothing else. People saw what happened to the January 6 protesters.

MAGA would love a civil war. As long as they have permission first so they don’t get in trouble.

I’ve been getting notices left and right from my HOA recently about code violations. The codes are very ambiguous and are at the inspector’s discretion. Not cutting my grass,grass clippings on my sidewalk,and garden retaining wall not cemented in place, these are the stackable blocks that don’t need to be cemented in place. I questioned the warnings, and they were dismissed. Friday night I got a warning that my back porch had to be power washed. I called a company and someone came to look at it. He was amazed the HOA cited it. I turned him around and showed him my back door with a Trump sign in the window. He nodded his head and said that explaines why you are getting all these code violations.

It could be HOA Nazis. Anyone that works for an HOA is a real scumbag and can’t find a real job. I have problem with my HOA too. I end up fighting with them about once per quarter. The last time was over my dog and waiting a couple of days to clean up after him in my own yard. I was laid up with a lower back problem and couldn’t bend over. I am meticulously clean and very dedicated to keeping my property in good shape.

My negro next door neighbor, eff’n Marxist, government employee, piece of chit ratted me out. She even wrote an illiterate letter and left it on my door. Then I was visited by the township police. They were actually cool about it. I explained the situation and he met my pup and everything was fine. I’ll never do a favor for my neighbor or the HOA again. They are on some personal vendetta about all dogs in the neighborhood. A bunch of neighbors I have talked to while walking my pup have had similar problems.

Other problems I’ve had with the HOA has been pressure washing complaint from the HOA inspector when I was waiting to actually replace my deck. No way in hell was I going to pressure wash a deck that I was replacing. Then there was “illegal” plants that I planted without seeking approval. They were marigolds last fall. Christ, these people don’t have anything better to do.

For years I had sunflowers in my back yard. Never seemed to be a problem. My fenced in back yard faces a street. Once the Trump sign in my window went up I was told I had to take the sunflowers down “ because they germinate with weeds?????
