Tucker Carlson: Trump 'obviously' going to be indicted

Fox News host Tucker Carlson predicted former President Trump will be indicted following a search at his Florida residence last week carried out by the FBI in connection with an investigation into classified information reportedly taken from the White House.

“There’s nothing to see here, that’s the line,” Carlson said on his show Monday, naming a number of elected Republicans who he predicted will “say the same thing when the Biden Justice Department or some other state agency under their influence finally does what you know they’re going to do, and that’s indict Donald Trump.”

“Obviously they’re going to do that,” Carlson continued. “Who knows how, maybe they’ll produce surveillance video from Mar-a-Lago, apparently they’ve already subpoenaed that.”

Surveillance tapes of his people moving boxes when they were told to secure them by the FBI and intelligence officials. Sounds pretty slam dunk to me

Wait. If Tucker Carlson is saying something, then we know it isn't true.

Therefore....

He WANTS that to happen. He's all about ratings. And he knows if Trump is indicted, that will give him another topic to flame about. It will keep his already disturbed audience permanently on fire.

He is warning his audience, the trumpers, that there is video of them moving secrets out to sell.

6. Or, hiding them when they knew the FBI was zeroing in.

That's what I suspect is going to be on the videos when we do eventually see them. Them ferreting some of them away from the bulk of other documents for later use.

It was too hot to move the merchandise at that time, so hide it until it cools off enough to get it out safely.

Good to see you, Eliot!

It seems to be the best they have as far as a mitigation strategy at the moment.

"Yeah, he'll be indicted because look who's running DOJ."
It might be something else, but I'm going with the same interpretation as you.
