Former President Donald Trump’s indictment on charges of mishandling classified documents is set to play out in a federal court in Florida. But about a thousand miles away, part of Trump’s defense is well underway in a different venue — the halls of Congress, where Republicans have been preparing for months to wage an aggressive counteroffensive against the Justice Department.
The federal indictment against Trump, unsealed Friday, includes 37 counts, including allegations that the former president intentionally possessed classified documents, showed them off to visitors, willfully defied Justice Department demands to return them and made false statements to federal authorities about them. The evidence details Trump's own words and actions as recounted by lawyers, close aides and other witnesses.
The Republican campaign to discredit federal prosecutors skims over the substance of those charges, which were brought by a grand jury in Florida. GOP lawmakers are instead working, as they have for several years, to foster a broader argument that law enforcement — and President Joe Biden — are conspiring against the former president and possible Republican nominee for president in 2024.
“Today is indeed a dark day for the United States of America,” tweeted House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, soon after Trump said on his social media platform Thursday night that an indictment was coming. McCarthy blamed Biden, who declined to comment on the case and said he is not involved in the Justice Department’s decisions.

The Biden administration is as lawless as any third world dictatorship.
Does anyone think that actual case law will prevail against these dictators?
With ‘friends’ like the GOPe, who needs enemies? ;)
This sums up the GOP:

The “mummy” Biden just gives a crooked smile & says:
“Where’s the money?”
Answers like this seem to satisfy the media, so Biden keeps doing what is working.
🤣 😂 🤪 Wake me when masses of unconstitutional leftists are fired from the DOJ. You can’t believe a single word coming the vast majority of Republicans in Congress. They are deep state Assistant Democrats that lie to maintain false power.
Oh great one, thank you for that tweet. I feel so much safer now and I will sleep well, knowing that your tweets will protect us.
The Founders codified the Second Amendment for a reason....we are being shown why..almost on a monthly basis at this point
Repukes aren’t serious. Had I been speaker this could NEVER happen. I bet you any number of people on this forum could make the same claim and it would be just as valid. The fact that it has happened while the Repukes control the money tells you enough.
I doubt anyone is brave enough to take the first shot
“Where’s the money?”
How about taking a look at the Biden Mansion for starters.
.
Right.
There are approx 270 Republicans in Congress (both houses combined) - and that doesn’t even count GOP Govs.
Wow, what a showing.
Biden would get more support for a Save the eastern spine worm Press Conference.
Right on all counts.
“The Founders codified the Second Amendment for a reason....we are being shown why..almost on a monthly basis at this point.”
God Bless Them! It seems to be the only thing the LefTards haven’t destroyed, yet. But they’re relentless. :(
keeps going in the direction and rate it presently is...there may arise a consensus at some point.
The evidence details Trump’s own words and actions as recounted by lawyers, close aides and other witnesses.

Yeah...he just heard that Bagster passed away
From this day to the ending of time, June 11 is BAGSTER Day.
But we in it shall be rememberèd—
We few, we happy few, we band of FReepers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in Internet now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon BAGSTERS's day.
D. The one name missing in all this bruhahah is Obama!
When will his files be inventoried!!
If this is a systemic problem then new legislation needs to be applied to all Presidential papers !!!!!
I am truly sorry that Bagster has passed. R.I.P.
