Trump Says He Is Target of Criminal Probe in Jack Smith’s Jan. 6 Case
Wall Street Journal ^ | July 18, 2023 | Sadie Gurman

Posted on 07/18/2023 7:21:22 AM PDT by Jim Noble

Former President Donald Trump said federal prosecutors have told his legal team that he is a target of their investigation into efforts to undo his loss in the 2020 election.

In a post on his Truth Social platform Tuesday morning, Trump said Special Counsel Jack Smith sent his legal team a letter indicating he could face charges in the probe that has been examining Trump’s actions leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Trump said he had been given “a very short 4 days to report to the Grand Jury which almost always means an Arrest and Indictment.”

A spokesman for Smith didn’t immediately return calls seeking comment.

The target letter adds to Trump’s legal peril as he faces a separate federal prosecution stemming from his handling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

They want to incite another Jan 6 protest. Maybe a November Election Day protest to justify cancelling the election?

Question: May a convicted traiter be elected president by write-in all the same? Talk about a collective American FU.

fascism is as fascism does ... if Trump isn’t re-elected, we peasantry are doomed to be crushed under the boot heals of our fascist feudal overlords ...

fight back: donate to the trump campaign:

to bypass winred and donate directly to Trump:

search for:

“www.donaldjtrump.com”

on bing.com

and click the contribute button

[if you do the above search via google, it always takes you to windred.com]

likewise, even typing donaldjtrump.com in the chrome browser skips trump’s site and goes to winred ...

the contribute button on donaldjtrump.com will go to the windred site from www.donaldjtrump.com, but google (and the chrome browser itself) deliberately won’t let you look at the donaldjtrump.com website itself ...]

i recommend sending a check instead of contributing through winred or CC so trump gets all the money ...

you can bypass winred by using this form to contribute via check or even directly by your credit card:

https://cdn.donaldjtrump.com/djtweb24/general/TSA_JFC_Contributor_Form_230217.pdf

btw, do NOT fill in your phone number or email in ANY donate form [ESPECIALLY when winred is the intermediary] or you’ll end up on a gazillion email and phone lists FOREVER ...

JUST fill out your name and address and sign it ...

mailing address for the form is:

Trump Save America JFC
P.O. Box 13570
Arlington, VA 22219

btw, all trump contributions go to a PAC that distributes 90% of the money to trump’s re-election campaign, and 10% to “save america”, a trump PAC that supports other candidates and issues:

“Trump Save America JFC is a joint fundraising committee on behalf of Donald J. Trump for President 2024, Inc. and Save America. Joint fundraising proceeds shall be allocated among the committees as follows: 90% to Donald J. Trump for President 2024, Inc. (2024 primary election), 10% to Save
America, and any contribution exceeding the legal amount that may be contributed to either of the Committees will be allocated to Donald J. Trump for President 2024, Inc. (2024 general election)”

Another clear signal that Donald Trump will not be President ever again. They will do everything they can to see to it. They will kill him if they have to and count on having enough firepower to quell any resulting “disturbances”. Heck, nobody is pushing back. Why stop now?

And don’t count on Hannity’s good, non-corrupt, patriotic 99%. They don’t exist.

Eric Grenell was on warroom this morning .

Seems Mr.smith is not only nefarious , in America it seems

He is also a bit nefarious in Europe it seems.

He worked for the Hague before Biden called him back to the USA to work his magic here.

Folk should seriously watch his segment on the warroom today,, the last block.

Wow.

Truly a hatchet man.

The qualifications for President are set forth in the U.S. Constitution and NO ADDITIONAL ONES dreamed up can prevent a candidate from running being elected President.

The Democrat need to get DJT behind bars, and preferably in solitary, before November 2024 is palpable

We got neutered right after Reagan won the Cold War, starting with the presidency of George H.W. Bush I.

The current sheep that dominate this country will not incite a general strike or civil disobedience.

We stood by and did nothing while the 2020 election was stolen from President Trump

and we will do zero going forward, regardless of the jury’s decisions

Study all the proposals, and the ultimate solution, to the 19th century Deep State’s Napoleon problem.

Having gone this far, I think they will try for insurrection or treason and send him to ADX Florence with all communication banned.

As the late, great Curtis LeMay said in a different context: “If you’ve got the onus, why not get the bonus?” - meaning, everyone thinks you’re bombing Cambodia already, so why not do it for real?

They are really taking huge chances here, and they don’t see it, because all the Republicans they know and hang out with hate Trump as much as they do.

But, having pulled off the 1-6 arrests without a ripple, and not being allergic to blood in the streets - I think they are going to go for it.

More like, Hunter Biden.

My guess is that this case will be heard in WA DC, maybe by a judge like the Bush appointed judge that should have been disbarred for the J6 case that he heard earlier.

Prison will keep him off the campaign trail.

Prison will not keep him from winning the election and assuming the presidency.

Of course, life is cheap in prison. We’ve seen security and security cameras fail. His secret service bodyguards might get distracted. Ya just never know.
