UPDATED: Trump Now Faces Criminal Charges on State AND Federal Level

In April, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced a 34-count felony indictment of Donald Trump for falsifying business records concerning hush money payments to two women. That case is incredibly weak. But now another shoe has dropped, with a few more very possible. According to USA Today, Trump faces a seven-count indictment for his mishandling of confidential documents, including nuclear secrets, that he carted off to Mar A Lago at the end of his Presidency. A criminal case means that, unlike other high office holders who accidentally took classified documents, Trump knew what he was doing. After all, he's a very stable genius. Just ask him. It also appears that Trump obstructed the efforts of federal officials who attempted to retrieve this sensitive information, which apparently even included contingency plans to attack Iran. 

In addition to these two prosecutions, Trump is being investigated for his role in the failed Congressional coup of January 6, 2020 as well as his efforts to persuade the Georgia Secretary of State to "find" the 11,000 needed to win in that state.  

One silver lining for Trump is that he's been indicted in Florida, not D.C., where he should have an easier time finding friendly jurors. 

He's going to be distracted. This is why I've told you that, despite the polling, someone else is going to be the GOP nominee. 

UPDATED SATURDAY, 10:30 AM: Read the unsealed indictment here

Trump stored nuclear secrets in bathroom, shower, ballroom, bedroom, storage room.

Another witch hunt in our two-tier criminal system --Biden and his so-called justice department are taking on 71 million people who voted for Trump they are also taking on the Catholics in this country along with the parents of students in public schools. Everybody with any sense at all sees what is going on, Biden the Clintons can do what they want and will get away with it. This country is on the verge of civil war and Biden and his democrats are pushing it forward.

Some things really aren’t as they appear. All the grifters in our Federal government are desperate to silence Trump and keep him out of office. Trump is a thorn in the side of those who profit from weakening America. To them, darkness is the best cover. Our American government is seriously corrupt, and many of us do admit to knowing this.

trump of course is fund raising over this as he expects to use other people's money for his screw ups.

The deep state is scared to death of Trump that includes the FBi and justice department which Trump said he would dismantle if elected so here we go again every time these people tried to get Trump they FAILED. The democrats never talk about Inflation, energy independence, the border or foreign affairs --WHY--because they failed at every one of those issues and Trump did not. We must vote Trump in or else we continue with Biden's failures and more.

If Trump simply cooperated and gave back the documents when asked, this indictment would have never happened. Trump is is own worse enemy and, most likely will be convicted of the espionage act.

There's a taped conversation of Trump at Mar-a-Lago saying, "As President I could have declassified these documents, but now I can't". I guess all the MAGATS on this site still watch Faux News and refuse to hear facts.

The political party in charge is using its Justice Department to eliminate the leading candidate (by far) of the competing party. If successful, that leading candidate, the previous President, could actually spend the rest of his life in jail. This is not the America I grew up in. I can’t understand anyone finding joy in this.

I'm still voting for him for the third time, although I could never stand to even look at him. I just like he owns so much real estate in the heads of hyperbolic bedwetters, like Bernie. These are the new rules of engagement and our executives need to be brought to account. I predict Obama and Biden will eventually face indictments for their crimes going back to 2015. I think all POTUSs in the future will face criminal charges, that have seemingly been off limits. Hell, Hillary ran for POTUS precisely to stay out of jail. I also think this is good for the country, despite the banana republic way we're doing it. Yes, I hate everybody. Both parties are different heads connected to the same ass.

I voted for president Trump and I benefitted from his policies. I think we were a safer more stable country under his leadership. He was needed at the time. However times are different and I do look forward to a new option. Having said that and not knowing all the info as none of us do it is clear the system is broken and classified/declassified documents have left and probably continue to leave the chambers. So fix the system. Don't let people leave with boxes and then call them on it. Or be consistent with applying the obviously unclear guidelines. Biden Clinton. Etc there's no difference except it is a political witch hunt and a disgrace. It's a very clear message to me..either you are a Democrat or you are the enemy of those in charge now and they want to stop any of us with different ideas. We continue to look like fools to the rest of the world. How anyone can think this isn't political is just insane

Generally, a "Witch Hunt" is a situation when there is a SINGULAR thread bare charge put up against an individual that is used as an excuse to impose a punishment desired by a mob.

Two indictments so far, each with a long list of associated crimes and misdeeds. Trump is innocent until proven guilty of the charges, but the whining and complaining about the "Weaponization" of justice is comically embarrassing by those desperate to defend him. IF you do the crime, YOU do the time.

Again, if proven guilty why should Trump be allowed to get away with committing criminal acts? If I start running for County Executive, can I then start robbing banks then complain about political persecution when the police show up?

Most politicians are greasy and play in gray areas, surely profiting off of their position of power, but for the most part aren't completely brazen about violating laws that you and I must observe.

I completely agree. If Biden absconded with confidential documents, and did so intentionally, he should be prosecuted. No one is above the law. My guess is he did not act intentionally. That's what makes noncriminal acts criminal. So does obstruction.

So, Bernie, you take the word of Joe Biden that he didn’t intentionally take home confidential, classified documents. and you quickly accept that as plausible. But, somehow, you think that logic can’t have any application here in the case of President Trump who did hold plenary power over classification of all documents, unlike Biden (and Pence) who did not have such authority.

Keep an eye on this particular point as this kangaroo courtroom drama plays out. My expectation is these charges will be dismissed on appeal.

This should be simple apply the military standard of managing classified, secret, and top secret documents. Apply it equally to all politicians. Apply it to all there worker bees. If a politician takes any of those documents and shows them to anyone without a clearance they should be in jail. If they take them outside of a document controlled area they should be put in jail. If they keep them beyond their time of use they should be put in jail. If any of their worker bees do anything with those types of document without proper authority then put them in jail. And utilize the 5 year imprisonment law which Trump initiated as the starting point for time in jail. Then multiply it by the number of documents they took. Ignorance of a low is not a reason to get off. So make it simple apply it to and start jailing all of them immediately.

For those interested in reading actual facts about these charges, become familiar with our Presidential Records Act and court opinions registered in previous challenges. Interesting stuff, particularly the challenge made in 2012 by the group, Judicial Watch.

The problem we have these days is a two-tiered system of justice, and major news media that (too often) bends and censors information for political reasons. Viewers, listeners, and readers are being “played” as youth of today frequently refer.

Truth is out there for the taking, but increasingly difficult to find. This takes time and effort well beyond what most are willing to commit. Much too easy to just repeat what someone else claims. One example is the matter of election integrity, so often ignored on purpose.

No, I am not registered Republican and haven’t watched Fox News for more than a year. I did vote for Trump twice and will surely do so again.

"5:49 AM - First of all, stop using major corporate news as your source. Next, understand our own Morning Call is heavily liberal biased and generally just runs press release material as written, without examination."

In other words, rely on the Facebook, twitter and "truth" social conspiracy theories of the tinfoil hat brigade. This disparagement of mainstream sources is largely the result of disagreement with the actual truth, so it is instead called "fake." Without question, I'd rely on several sources and it's fairly easy to pluck out bias from fact. Be very leery of what you see on Facebook or Twitter unless the claim is backed by a link you can check. In all honesty, the major corporate news tend to be the most reliable sources. They have numerous flaws, and yes, there is a detectable anti-Trump bias. But this is what happens when someone constantly attacks them as fake. I admit my biases. I never pretend to be objective. I provide the truth, but it is the truth as I see it.

I called the Manhattan indictment a political prosecution, but the federal indictment of Trump is damning. There just is no way around it. It is replete with example after example of his total rejection of the rule of law when it is applied to him. He actually encouraged his own lawyers to lie. He must be held accountable.

This is like the fish I caught a few years ago. Keeps getting bigger every time I tell the story. Are we certain that there were nuclear secrets in those documents?

Then why was Hillary fined a whopping $8,000.00.?

Bernie O'Hare said...

Lying Dog, There is no question that Clinton used her private server negligently and should have realized that doing so compromised national security, regardless whether it included classified information. Of 30,000 emails, three were classified. None was top secret. The decision against prosecution was based on the conclusion that there was no criminal intent and it would be difficult to convict. And it would be. But I remember the constant "lock her up!" cries during the 2016 Presidential campaign. Her failure cost her the election. She was fined $113,000, not $8,000, on an unrelated matter. The first part of your name is very appropriate.

In this case, Trump brushed off National Archives, grand jury subpoena and a visit from DOJ's top counter intelligence official. He moved documents to hide them from his own lawyers. He suggested his lawyers lie. This is willful retention and obstruction. It is criminally reckless behavior. This occurred in spite of efforts by DOJ to give him every opportunity to return the documents.

And yes, the documents in question included nuclear secrets, contingency attack plans and other classified material, as Trump's own audio recordings make clear.

He is entitled to a presumption of evidence.

The DOJ was going to indict Trump even if he wasn't running for President.

He will be found guilty because he is guilty.

Love,
Hillary Clinton

P.S. But, but, but my emails. I haven't enjoyed the news this much since Fox News settled their libel lawsuit for 3/4 billion dollars or when E. Jean Carroll want her defamation lawsuit against Trump.

DOJ- Grab Trump by his...

He's famous, he'll love it.

2:45 and 4:26- I'm ok with Pence going to jail, too, but not for his handling of classified information. For calling his wife Mama and being a homophobic, racist p*ssy. I'm surprised that Trump hasn't grabbed his yet.

Wonder if trump will tell his followers to calm down--after all trump claims he is an innocent man(he managed to do it with a straight face-that had to be difficult).
He can walk into the courtroom and wow everyone when he testifies and shows the world how wrong they are.
Even if he is found guilty at most he would get a couple of months at Club Fed.
He could still golf and get a ghost writer to write a book about his goals.
Suggested titles--"a grift too far" or "my struggle" or " Tried to be sly but beaten by the FBI".

I love it. The Clintons will be free and clear while Trump is in prison carrying the soap for Big Bubba. And what about the NRA and the Chamber Of Commerce? They invested heavily in an effort to get Trump elected. I wonder if the leader of the local "Chamber" is still "giddy" (using his words) over the election of Trump. And what about the local mutants from the Lehigh Valley Tea Party who were waving a flag in front of Bethlehem City hall when Trump was elected? Maybe people should boycott businesses that belong to the Chamber Of Commerce since the dues paid by the business owners were used to elect a president who is guilty of treason.

Bernie O'Hare said...

2:42, It's "you're," not "your." I'm certainly willing to entertain evidence that he moved the boxes because he planned on bringing them over to the DOJ himself, but what is recited in the indictment indicates he moves them to hide them from his own lawyers. That's hardly the behavior of an innocent man.

He's cooked, and he could very well be going to jail instead of the White House. Kari Lake can break him out.

No matter what the democrats do we will vote for President Trump period. He is not a sleazy politician like all politicians are.

Those who took the time to read the Presidential Records Act and various court rulings pertaining to how it has been applied will note that President Trump (and all other Presidents have unconstrained authority in determining how such documents are handled. He alone determines, not Congress, the DOJ, nor the National Archivist, which documents to keep, when to move them, the timeline to submit whatever documents HE chooses to provide to the Archives.

Read the Act for yourself if you disagree. Seems to me, this will be a key part of his defense against these charges. If these points are not upheld, you can count on many future appeals that could well drag out until after the next election.

The most corrupt President in history lost the 2020 election by over 7 million votes

Bernie O'Hare said...

7:07, You're condescendingly telling others what to do, but you obviously failed to take the time to read the actual indictment. No violation of the Presidential Records Act is alleged. What is alleged is that Trump willfully retained defense information. He actually showed it off to third parties. He engaged in witness tampering. He falsified records in a federal investigation by misleading his own attorneys, which cause them to attest falsely that all records had been turned over.

Next time you smugly tell others what to read, do some reading of your own. You don't know shit and I doubt you've ever even bothered to do any of the reading you tell other to do. Your ignorance betrays you.

"documents HE chooses to provide to the Archives"
try
https://www.archives.gov/presidential-libraries/laws/1978-act.html
"The PRA was amended in 2014, which established several new provisions."
"Establishes that Presidential records automatically transfer into the legal custody of the Archivist as soon as the President leaves office."
And
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/defense-national-security/donald-trump-national-archives-presidential-records-act
Presidential records are documentary materials created or received by the president, his immediate staff, or an individual in the Executive Office of the President whose function is to advise or assist the president, the Archives said.

Bernie O'Hare said...

9:04, I don't really care what some anonymous coward thinks. It has nothing to do with a difference of opinion. When someone starts smugly lecturing people to read this act and that act, and all the cases under that act, and it's not even the basis of the indictment, I find that highly insulting to both my readers any myself. He has no idea what he is talking about. If he wants to continue to embrace Trump and defend him, that's one thing. But this guy is setting himself yup as a font of knowledge that he obviously is not. The indictment is not premised on the PRA, but on the willful retention of defense information the dissemination of which will harm our national security. READ the indictment already and quit rattling like an empty can.

I try to keep an open mind on political issues. Unfortunately, with Donald Trump it is extremely difficult to give him the benefit of "the doubt". He has lied time and again and through the years he has come off looking like a complete scum bag. Yet, he has his loyal following for some reason. Pray for our Country. We are putting up the poorest candidates for President that we can dig up. What a disgrace.

9:29 has provided additional, and helpful, sources to read to better understand the complex nature of the rights, privileges, and procedures in dealing with presidential records. This entire discussion is related to handling of records. Hundreds and hundreds of Sections, Sub-Sections, clauses and exceptions remain untested by the courts. To make hasty claims of how this will all officially play out is foolhardy. However, document handling is the essence of the actions to be reviewed in court.

Bernie O'Hare said...

This is so silly. By definition, law enforcement is weaponized. It exists to hold lawbreakers accountable. In our system, everyone is entitled to due process and the presumption of innocence. But everyone must be held accountable. We are a nation of laws, not men. Trump cultists who do not like what is happening create nonexistent hurdles and condescendingly tell people to read laws that have no application. They launch irrelevant personal attacks, copying the Leader's antics. They also threaten violence and civil war, as Kari Lake has done. These are fascists who believe we are a nation of men, not laws.

I voted for Trump twice and felt he was a good President despite his tweets and pompous persona. But ever since he lost the 2020 election, he has been a train wreck. The Manhattan indictment was weak a purely political. But this one sticks. His arrogance caught up with him. Seeing secret documents carelessly stored in a bathroom is disgusting. And taped conversations of him bragging about foreign policy secrets is indefensible. I hope he is convicted. It is the only way to get his arrogant ass off the campaign trail.

Days later and still generating comments- it is a sad day for America, but it is really time for Republicans to get rid of Trump and start investing in those who can honestly define the Republican Party. Kari Lake isn't one of them. She's just another loser headline-grabber who now threatens and calls the NRA into the mix. The NRA would do well to send her a cease-and-desist letter. Remember that she officially represents- no one. Trump says he'll never quit. Of course not, that would remove him from the GOP money. If you're not a candidate then you can't get party funds. So Trump is going to work up the mob again? Does this make the Republican Party the party of violence? It does, and I hang my head, because I'm a registered Republican.

I'd love to know the dollar figure that Trump's new defense lawyers will require before they will touch this case. I'm sure it's astronomical.

“He is not a victim here,” Bill Barr, tRump's Attorney General nomination said. “He was totally wrong that he had the right to have those documents.”

I would still put money on tRump being the Repub nominee. He still has enough of his fanatical base within the right wing which will carry him thru no matter what he does. Maybe he'll actually shoot somebody on 5th ave. like he claimed he could do with no loss of votes. Trying to overthrow our government didn't seem to faze most of them.

7:35 hate to burst your bubble but Trump typically skates past the scale of justice he is confirmed thief, a confirmed liar, a confirmed bankruptcy queen, a confirmed sexual predator, a person who thinks he is above the law, a person not fit for security clearance, idolizer of dictators/dictator wanna be, a person who through his father and follow on history tied to the Russian mob and Russia, A cheater on his wives, Hater of the military and veterans, and good for nothing but grifting, conning and destroying America. And oh by the way most of this is by his own projection and admissions. Go ahead give him your money, give him you wife and daughter so he can grab their privates and however else he chooses to abuse them. I bet you think Santos is a stellar human as well.

I just feel sorry that so may cannot admit what Trump id but instead idolize him for the mirror image they are projecting portions of themselves into.

you would have to work extremely hard to lie about someone who has so many open sores in their life and personality like Trump.
