Liberals and foes of former President Donald Trump took to social media to laud the third indictment against the leading Republican presidential candidate.
A Washington, DC, grand jury Tuesday afternoon returned an indictment against Trump in connection to the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot. Trump faces four charges, “one on conspiracy to defraud the U.S.; one on conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding; one of obstruction and attempts to obstruct an official proceeding; and one of conspiracy against rights,” as Breitbart News noted.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), who was a member of the now-defunct U.S. House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol, wrote, “it’s about damn time” soon after the news broke.
Trump was just indicted by federal prosecutors for trying to overturn the 2020 election.
We’re coming toward an inflection point— and a fraught moment in the history of our democracy.
But frankly, considering the interests of justice and the rule of law, it’s about damn time.

“Trump was just indicted by federal prosecutors for trying to overturn the 2020 election,” wrote Schiff in a post on “X,” formerly known as Twitter.
“We’re coming toward an inflection point— and a fraught moment in the history of our democracy,” he added. “But frankly, considering the interests of justice and the rule of law, it’s about damn time.”
Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), who chaired the subcommittee, also took the platform to claim credit for the indictment, asserting the charges “are consistent with those the Select Committee referred to the Special Counsel last year.”
Today’s charges are consistent with those the Select Committee referred to the Special Counsel last year, and successful prosecutions will not only bring accountability but also help prevent something like

If there was true justice in this world, Schiff would be behind bars.
They are simply following their #1 community organizer:
‘Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.’
‘Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.’
Contest election results and the democrats will use democrat da’s to indict you on trumped-up bogus charges.
The democrat Michigan b1tches are doing this as well now.
Maybe one day he’ll get a lot worse than being behind bars.
Do we really need quotes of Adam Schiff gloating, as a new thread?
Someone said that someone else said that Trump said something. That’s a crime now.
and yet we have a list of deepstate governor rinos insisting there is not enough evidence to bring impeachment hearings on bidet!
We’ve always known Kinzinger hates Trump.
I’m with you. We don’t need the little worm’s statements here
They are taking the lies as truth.. all they are doing to Trump..all are petty or lies..
There are really dumb and lazy people out there.. sheep.
They all know this indictments are bogus and purely political.
"Never Trumpers" (or more accurately, people who voted enthusiastically for Trump in 2016 and 2020 and are now looking elsewhere) are not supporting this.
The "conspiracy" and "obstruction" charges are bullsh*t. We know that. Thought crimes.
But, they'll make the base rally to Trump even more, ensuring his GOP nomination and ensuring his certain defeat in the general election.
Sending more Democrats to Washington is not something we want.
Stolen elections have consequences
We can keep crying about this until November '24, it's not going to get us to 270.
Stolen elections have consequences.
Not crying..
Just waiting for the next steal attempt in 2024.
Then it gets interesting..
They are bullsh*t charges and everyone knows it.
It’s the Hugo Chavez playbook.
These people are stupid and sick.
