Trump indicted on 37 federal counts out of Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation into classified records
Fox News ^

Posted on 06/09/2023 1:22:11 PM PDT by GulliverSwift

"Over the course of his presidency, TRUMP gathered newspapers, press clippings, letters, notes, cards, photographs, official documents, and other materials in cardboard boxes that he kept in the White House," the indictment states. "Among the materials TRUMP stored in his boxes were hundreds of classified documents."

"The classified documents TRUMP stored in his boxes included information regarding defense and weapons capabilities of both the United States and foreign countries; United States nuclear programs; potential vulnerabilities of the United States and its allies to military attack; and plans for possible retaliation in response to a foreign attack," the indictment states. "The unauthorized disclosure of these classified documents could put at risk the national security of the United States, foreign relations, the safety of the United States military, and human sources and the continued viability of sensitive intelligence collection methods."

The special counsel claims that Trump showed classified documents to others in 2021--once in July 2021 at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey and once in August or September 2021.

"In July 2021, at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey (The Bedminster Club), during an audio-recorded meeting with a writer, a publisher, and two members of his staff, none of whom possessed a security clearance, TRUMP showed and described a ‘plan of attack’ that TRUMP said was prepared for him by the Department of Defense and a senior military official. TRUMP told the individuals that the plan was ‘highly confidential’ and ‘secret,’" the indictment said. "TRUMP also said, ‘as president I could have declassified it,’ and, 'Now I can't, you know, but this is still a secret.'"

I know, and good quote.

I do not think it applies here though.

What he responds to and how he responds is almost always apt.

Instead of getting upset at how many times he has to defend himself, maybe we should be getting upset instead at how many times he is stupidly attacked.

Why do we give his idiotic attackers a pass, then get mad at him for defending himself?

If we’re going to give grief for him responding it should be AFTER we have soundly scorned the moron of the hour that attacked him.

Trump is doomed—His whole term will be expunged and he will be given the “Nixon Treatment” The history books will turn him into the most evil man who ever walked the streets of New York. Totally corrupt, agent of Evil Hitler-Putin Russia. In the future his term of office will be “Changed” to a time of racist hate. It will be a century before Trump’s reputation will be re-discovered. Only in a post Communist-Progressive America will he be given the honors he deserves.

Talking, even if to say I have some classified documents, isn't against the law. If it was, Biden should have been indicted when he said the DNC has put together the largest voter fraud operation. Heck, the Quid Pro Quo Son of a B%#@$ comment should have gotten him another indictment, as well.

Even if you're a squish when it comes to Trump, what's happening right now will be done to your chosen candidate if this is allowed to continue. The government has been experiencing a long Coup and we're nearing the end of it. The only one who stands a chance of getting us out of this is Trump.

The America First movement is bigger than Trump.

Ronbots smell some blood.

Maybe they have reason to.

Maybe the illegitimate authoritarian regime can legally tie Trump up for duration of the campaign.

But IF that is the Uniparty’s plan, they may have acted too quickly.

Tie up Trump and the movement has time raise up another leader.

It won’t be no front man for the Deep State and the Evil Media empire of Rupert Murdoch.

The leader will be WHOEVER can draw Trump like crowds that are enthusiastic about the message and is a messenger of the message that instills trust.

My money would be on Kari Lake.

The America First movement is bigger than Trump.

Too big for the little fella from the Sunshine State to ever get a hold of.

Ronbots, your gleeful hand rubbing is premature.

“... ‘plan of attack’ that TRUMP said was prepared for him by the Department of Defense and a senior military official.”

I suspect that Trump was exposing the lying dog Thoroughly Modern Millie who was claiming that Trump wanted to attack Iran, when in fact, it was Millie who was advocating an attack on Iran.

Whew, he looks bad. All pale and pasty. He needs to be locked in his room before he takes another fall.

For POTUS, the instrument is impeachment, I believe. They should impeach Biden. Just do it.

I think you are right about that. We have seen Ron’s true form and we will never trust him.
