Perhaps off topic, but I deem it not a coincidence that a host of new people have announced they are running for POTUS in the last fortnight. I suspect it is due to the perception that the odds that Trump's legal troubles will sink him have gone up substantially, and then the issue of multiple candidates dividing the anti-Trump vote and ensuring Trump's nomination goes away.
The odds have gone up of Trump's political demise because of the recent smoking gun evidence that has emerged (the moving around documents back and and forth and the tape where Trump admits the docs were classified) that Trump did commit multiple crimes with respect to the documents beyond a reasonable doubt, including most particularly obstruction of justice. With Trump politically castrated, the more the merrier.

I think Pence was waiting to be cleared on his documents issue. But otherwise yes I think Trump's issues are going to hurt him in the primary and the pols think so too, although the 2024 board is convinced they will help him lock it up lol.

Frequenting that particular place is not good for one's mental health. Stay away is my best advice. The thing is, is that Trump seems to have managed to have created conclusive proof that he has committed serious crimes, with malice aforethought because he thought the laws only applied to the little people, and never himself, that will entail serious time, like years in prison. And he will be tied down in a rather lengthy trial process while campaigning, unless he chooses to skip the trial, as is his right apparently, even for criminal trials.

Pending Supreme Court Case Complicates Special Counsel Smith’s Choices

Much has been written in the last 24 hours about where charges against former President Donald Trump would be brought with respect to his handling of government documents and obstructing the investigation into that conduct. The Constitution requires each criminal charge be brought in the location where the criminal conduct at issue occurred, but often that is in multiple jurisdictions, leaving the government free to choose from a variety of locations after considering a variety of factors.

But what if.

What if Special Counsel Jack Smith charges Trump in Washington DC, wins a criminal conviction from a jury finding the former president guilty of all charges, but also finding that the conduct occurred outside of DC and thus should never have heard the case? Can Smith try again in Florida?

Maybe not.

Good article about why everything may be shifting to Florida.

Jack Smith only needs to wait 3 weeks max to find out what SCOTUS thinks apparently. He would be prudent to do so.

The talk is that he will file in both DC and Florida to cover all his bases.

If this is true, it would explain a lot about why Meadows has reportedly flipped on Trump.

Oral argument occurred in the case only a few weeks ago. Surely it's going to take significantly longer than 3 weeks from now, quite possibly more than 3 months from now, for a ruling.

Page 1: The corrupt Biden Administration has informed my attorneys that I have been Indicted, seemingly over the Boxes Hoax, even though Joe Biden has 1850 Boxes at the University of Delaware, additional Boxes in Chinatown, D.C., with even more Boxes at the University of Pennsylvania, and documents strewn all over his garage floor where he parks his Corvette, and which is “secured” by only a garage door that is paper thin, and open much of the time.

Page 2: I have been summoned to appear at the Federal Courthouse in Miami on Tuesday, at 3 PM. I never thought it possible that such a thing could happen to a former President of the United States, who received far more votes than any sitting President in the History of our Country, and is currently leading, by far, all Candidates, both Democrat and Republican, in Polls of the 2024 Presidential Election. I AM AN INNOCENT MAN!

Page 3: This is indeed a DARK DAY for the United States of America. We are a Country in serious and rapid Decline, but together we will Make America Great Again!

^ Trump says he's been indicted.

How does he know that Biden's garage door is open "most of the time"?
Is he spying him?

Trump has been indicted

Alina Habba his attorney was asked about the statement and says it speaks for itself, so it's probably true that he's been indicted along with the Tuesday date to turn himself in.

SEVEN COUNTS

I am guessing obstruction of justice and Espionage Act violations?

I thought there would be more counts for what is considered a slam dunk case.

Some outlets/reporters are saying "at least seven counts..." so I guess it could be more. Not clear.

Minor note among the celebrations here. I think we can unsticky this thread and allow it to Fall by the wayside in favor of the Trump indictment thread. Maybe let someone create a second one to focus on the documents indictment? Or just continue this one?
