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.'"

Waiting for the Truth Social response. Has Trump responded to the recording allegation that he said he had not declassified the material? That pretty much takes away his "I declassified" defense if the deep state can prove he said it. Please pray for our nation.

They stole it from Trump once. They know they can do it again. They don’t need to “take him out”.

Yep, Brandon looks like death on the hoof - Satan has a way of hollowing victims out from the inside - now he is only a bit of pale necrotic skin in a depravity suit, can barely walk.

According to current reports, yes, it was a scheduled interview for a book biography which are typically always recorded. Also according to current reports, more than one of the people who were in the room have corroborated the event as described. But several laws could have been violated, not just having the classified info outside of an approved facility, but discussing if not actually showing the contents to others. Guess we'll see who they are and how this actually plays out eventually.

I voted for the man and probably would again but I said when he started the 1st run for the WH that he needed a governor on his mouth. I don’t think it’s possible for him to be quiet - if he can get attention, he’ll talk!!!!!

Preliminary Analysis:

* It appears on the surface of the indictment, that much information missing:

.....No actual concrete numbers of items in said boxes, both quantity and types.

* The defense would be:

...”reasonable man theory” 1. physical tasking-sorting and 2. sheer myrads of numbers in boxes.. volumes and types of items. 3. Months if not years for a private citizen to organize/sort.

* So let’s have actual quantity.

* Further, the moment Trump left the White House, if plaintiff can prove their case, would qualify under Contributory Negligence, of government officials.

Our Republic cannot exist as long as we are subjected to a Two Tier “System of Justice”.

The Biden Regime has made their odious and vile intentions known to each and every one of us.

Yeah, I wish he would just be quiet about what they’re doing to him. Constantly defending himself and pointing out lies... damn.

With friends like us, who needs enemies huh?

I know what you mean but good grief, can’t he be quiet once in awhile? He doesn’t have to RESPOND to everything.

I keep a record of good quotes - I’ve always liked this one!

“A wise man has something to say. A foolish man has to say something.”
