Yesterday, before the nuclear documents leak, I said I could wait until after the midterms for

Traitor Trump to be indicted. Changed my mind: he MUST be indicted NOW.

To use Judge Cannon's phrasing, indicting Trump now "would ensure at least an appearance of" our taking the theft and possible distribution of our country's top-secret documents seriously and our adhering to the concept of no one being above the law. As it is, the failure to take action bolsters the Republicans' attempts to downplay Trump's treasonous act.

This cannot stand. He steals 11,000 documents, refuses to give them back, gives some back, lies that there are no more to give back, lies that there is no nuclear information in the documents, but there actually is nuclear information in the documents? And 40 folders are empty?!

The DOJ is likely waiting to indict because of concern over the midterms and worry that the MAGATs will turn violent like on January 6.

If the MAGATs do turn violent, (1) the Biden administration will deal with them, and (2) violence on the part of the MAGATs will further energize our side, plus independents and some Republican voters, to get to the polls this November and vote for Democratic candidates.

a slam dunk case with a 20 year sentence. The other crimes can be charged later. It would certainly keep the stolen classified documents on the front page of newspapers.

any kind of defense that would explain why he took the documents. He has no defense.
