Former President Donald Trump revealed Thursday he had been indicted on seven counts in connection with his handling of allegedly classified documents.
Trump's attorney, Jim Trusty, called the charges — which reportedly include false statements, conspiracy to obstruct and a charge under the Espionage Act — "ludicrous."

Well...after a successful coup to install a senile grifting paedophile into the Whitehouse and successfully stealing not one but two elections,what would make anyone come to a silly conclusion that we don't have Republic anymore???
And don't forget we had a foreign born communist muslim homosexual deemed to be a suitable candidate for the highest office in the land by a united House and Senate.
We have not been a Republic for very long time...

Oh but Gov DeSantis, et al - if elected President is going to change the culture at the FBI, DOJ, etc. Sorry Gov and others, but the problem is more than cultural and you are not going to change anything. How did the British stop sati?
In December 1829, Lord William Bentinck, the first governor general of British-ruled India, banned sati, the ancient Hindu practice of a widow immolating herself on her husband's funeral pyre.
The unapologetic combativeness of the 1829 regulation was perhaps the only instance throughout 190 years of colonial rule where a social legislation was enacted without offering any concession to orthodox sentiments," notes Manoj Mitta, author of Caste Pride, a new book examining the legal history of caste in India. source: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-65311042
No gradual changing of the culture then. Just destroy the practitioners.

The 2024 election is being massaged right now putting the steal in place with this phony indictment. All the Republicans lining up against Trump aren't serious including the Florida governor. Trump has to push forward at this time but if he loses we in the fragile Republic are lost.

We feel like it's preemptive election tampering, because it is.

I will vote for Trump if he gets the nomination but I do ask has he this time crossed the line and truly broken laws? It looks pretty damning. This time I will have to see how all this totally plays out to the end. Yes there is a witch hunt both past and present that makes me feel this is just another but some of the evidence is very compelling. So I am a blank slate on this issue. I do not know what to believe. There are presidential limitations on what a president can declassify.

Gee Number 5 what looks damning to me is the way this bribe taking office selling crook is issued a pass by his own DOJ whil they attempt to cook up a crime on Trump.
If you are a blank slate after watching this all going down then you are right. You are a blank slate.

Suggest hell - we know. The Deep State has been piling charge after fake charge on Donald Trump since 2016. That may discourage some from supporting him but it only raises the determination in others. Go ahead, try cheating again in 2024, we dare you.

On the list of Republicans supporting President Trump on this issue I did NOT see any of the so-called Republican "leaders" in the Senate.

Re #5. Please think about this, if you think that this is "pretty damning".
A President has absolute and plenary authority to declassify ANY and ALL information at any time, for any purpose.
It is literally impossible for a sitting President to violate classification rules. He DEFINES the rules. If a President, for good or ill, decides to announce the most highly classified information that there is, he can do so at any time, for any reason, and give it to any person, for any reason.
On top of this, the Presidential Records Act describes required procedures for handling documents, but not following these procedures is NOT A CRIME, it is not a criminal statute, but a bureacratic "requirement".
I will repeat. It is impossible for any sitting President to violate "classification", he DEFINES it. If he decided to take ANY document, it is then, instantly and irrevocably, unclassified to the extent that he chooses it to be.
The charges are bogus, and are actually impossible for a President. They can apply to any other person, but not a President.

Those involved in the election steal of the century are planning right now to do it again next year. That is not a suggestion but a fact. Any Republican that can't see that is either woefully ignorant or in on it.
