Federal prosecutors have charged Donald Trump with violating the Espionage Act and conspiring to obstruct the criminal investigation among other counts, according to a person familiar with the matter, a historic development marking the most significant legal peril yet for the former president.
I’m still not holding my breath on this, but please, please, please let’s have some actual consequences for these people. Nobody should be above the law.
Well, I’d like to see ol Donny Trump wriggle his way out of THIS jam!
*Trump wriggles his way out of the jam easily. Ah! Well. Nevertheless,He’s not wriggling out of this. Dude tried to overthrow the government, they’re going to hit him with everything they can legally prove. I know a lot of people are disillusioned with the system because the wheel of justice has been grinding slowly but it has also been grinding thoroughly. Motherfucker is going to be 00 flour by the time they’re done with him.
Edit: That’s if he doesn’t commit suicide. I’d bet my bottom dollar he’d rather off himself than face the consequences of his actions, especially at his age. Too many bone spurs in his spine.
Would I love to see him put in handcuffs on live TV? Yes.
Do I think it will ever happen? No. Literally everything has been “This is the one” and it never is.
I’m optimistic that the DOJ will do…anything, I guess. But im realistic at this point that he will never face any actual consequences over what he’s done.
Teflon Don may not suffer all of the consequences. He is suffering some. Much more importantly, is that enough of the enablers, supporters and followers are suffering their own consequences. He could not, and did not, do anything alone. The DoJ Trump may never get Trump. However, the process is grinding a whole lot of the enablers down.
DJT is obviously guilty of a bunch of crimes.
Where in the US can you still find a jury without a single Trumpster on it though? It’s sad that getting away with everything he has is possible, but I don’t see him ever facing consequences.
Smith made the interesting choice to go through Miami rather than DC. One of the guesses is that filing in such a pro Trump jurisdiction will eliminate many of the stalling tactics and under cut claims of bias. So far Smith seems to be closing the loop holes.
