I envision a combination of Congress, DOJ and the courts at multiple levels... there are corrupt elements in all three, but there's also some very smart folks that can use the law and Constitution as it's intended that the corrupt can not control. It's gonna be messy but I don't see our institutions collapsing..."If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”Comment

That picture comes straight from the legal documents, the indictment itself.I seriously doubt there would be a bathroom and a stage full of "classified documents" in these locations. Nobody noticed a truckload of these boxes leaving the White House or the Pentagon?

Bill Barr says Trump's indictment is 'very damning' if 'even half of it is true'
Barr says Trump may be 'toast' and his witch hunt defense won't work
By Anders Hagstrom | Fox News
Trump’s federal indictment is ‘very damning’: William Barr
Former Attorney General William Barr joined ‘Fox News Sunday’ to discuss former President Trump’s indictment as prosecutors accuse him of putting national security at risk.
Former President Donald Trump is "toast" if "even half" of the material in his indictment is true, former Attorney General Bill Barr told Fox News Sunday.
Barr made an appearance with Host Shannon Bream regarding last week's indictment against Trump. He argued that the incident is "very damning" for the Republican candidate, who has claimed he will continue running for president in 2024 even if he is convicted.
"If even half of [the indictment] is true then he's toast. It's a very detailed indictment, and it's very, very damning," Barr said.
"This idea of presenting Trump as a victim here--the victim of a witch hunt--is ridiculous. Yes, he's been a victim in the past. Yes his adversaries have obsessively pursued him with phony claims, and I've been at his side defending him when he is a victim, but this is much different. He's not a victim here," Barr added. "He was totally wrong that he had the right to have those documents. Those documents are among the most sensitive secrets the country has."Comment

Pretty sure I've said it here previously but:
There are none so blind as those who will not see.
Trump himself could say "Yeah, I stored boxes in a bathroom and on a ballroom stage." and there will
be people who refuse to believe it.
Not saying Trump is always wrong but fer chrissakes would it kill you to admit that he isn't always right.Originally posted by sadaistComment

What is and isn't true, Von Hailey? That each election the Democratic candidate got more votes, with the electoral college giving trump the first one. Biden didn't need 81 million votes but he got them... The results matched polling before and during the election and if anything Trump did a bit better than expected...Comment

Trump also allowed a reporter with no security clearance to read a highly classified war plan so he show that Gen Milley wrote it...Comment

Well that's another thing - if you were following that election and I was then there were literally 80 polls from all sorts of organisations and media mainstream and not mainstream in the lead up that all said that Biden was going to win by roughly what he did. This crap is caused by bubbles where people only know other people who agree or say they agree with them so they get puzzled when their guy loses when they don't know anyone that didn't vote for him.Comment

I think all the reports saying Trump could get a huge prison sentence are wishful thinking.
He's clearly guilty but I seriously doubt there will be any jail time at all because of who he is. Which makes the 'he's an underdog outsider crap' even more ridiculous than it used to be when he was just super rich and powerful.Comment

I feel the same way. They probably pull his passport, maybe confine him to Mar-A-Lago. I doubt that the Secret Service is formulating a plan to protect an ex-president in prison.
Maybe Trump's move will be to claim he is in poor health and can't be sent to prison as it would be cruel and unusual punishment. Who knows.Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.Comment

Donald Trump is expected to be charged on Tuesday over his handling and management of classified documents, news that the former president announced via social media this week.
While details of the indictment remain sealed, Trump told followers on his Truth Social site that he has been informed about the charges for what he's called the "boxes hoax." He will appear in court in Miami, Florida, on Tuesday as part of Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation.
In what might be a particularly ironic outcome, one social media commentator claimed that if Trump is charged for mishandling classified documents, it would be under felony legislation that he signed while president.

The Claim
A tweet by @CalltoActivism, posted on June 9, 2023, viewed 2.6 million times, said: "MAJOR BREAKING: Donald Trump is facing five years in prison and a felony because of a law HE SIGNED in attempt to punish Hillary Clinton in 2018.
"Oh this is GOOD!
"The law HE SIGNED upgrades the crime of wrongly moving classified material from a misdemeanor to a felony.
SIGN UP FOR NEWSWEEK’S EMAIL UPDATES >
"Trump signed the bill after spending the 2016 presidential campaign accusing Hillary Clinton of improperly handling classified information."
The Facts
Special Counsel Jack Smith has investigated the president in two probes: for attempts to overturn the 2020 election results and his actions around the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot, and the retention of classified documents.
The former president is facing a charge under the Espionage Act, Trump attorney Jim Trusty told CNN on Thursday, in addition to charges of obstruction of justice, destruction or falsification of records, conspiracy, and false statements.
What this will look like, and which specific legislation all the charges will be filed under, remains to be seen. However, there is a distinct possibility that Trump could be indicted for an offense that he made a felony while president, as @CalltoActivism suggests.
As has been widely reported since the Mar-a-Lago raid last year, by outlets including The Washington Post and Insider, Trump in 2018 signed a national security bill that upgraded the seriousness of mishandling classified material from a misdemeanor to a felony.
Trump signed legislation that year that extended section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act, part of which included a change to 18 U.S. Code §1924, increasing the penalty for "unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or material" from one to five years.
According to Cornell Law School's Legal Information Institute, this upgrades the offense from a misdemeanor to a Class E felony.
Before the legislation was signed, Trump had repeatedly attacked 2016 presidential race rival Hillary Clinton over claims that she had mishandled classified information; she was never charged.
While we don't yet know what legislation Trump will be charged under, the similarity of the wording in this bill to the offense that Jack Smith has been investigating strongly suggests he could be charged with this particular felony.
If he is, whether Trump will face a full five years in prison (which the tweet suggests) remains to be seen. However, the irony that he upgraded the punishment guidelines for the crime which he now appears to facing has not been lost.
Trump is facing further headaches ahead of his appearance in court, with audio released reportedly recording him saying how he failed to declassify national security documents during his presidency.Comment
