"President Trump's staggering record of uncharged crimes" -- a long list from CREW

As of September 2022, Donald Trump has been credibly accused of committing at least 55 criminal offenses since he launched his campaign for president in 2015. That total only reflects allegations relating to his time in or running for office and omits, for instance, Trump’s criminal exposure for fraudulent business dealings.

The seven offenses we have added since we published the first version of this table in March 2022 include three criminal offenses relating to the investigation of election fraud and related crimes in Fulton County, Georgia; one offense relating to potential wire fraud stemming from fraudulent representations made to solicit PAC contributions after the 2020 election; and three offenses relating to Trump’s unlawful possession of government records at Mar-a-Lago after leaving office. The updated tracker likely understates Trump’s legal exposure because the high volume of sensitive records discovered at Mar-A-Lago suggests that he could be indicted for multiple counts of willfully retaining without authorization government records containing national defense information, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 793(e)), even though it is only listed once on CREW’s tracker.

Federal and state prosecutors are at an important crossroads with respect to accountability for the former president. On the one hand, the deadline has already passed or will soon pass for charges relating to several extremely serious offenses. That includes offenses relating to Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign as well as his obstruction of the FBI’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election and the subsequent special counsel investigation. The investigation of both matters was terminated by the Department of Justice at the direction of former Attorney General Bill Barr. While there is substantial evidence that Trump committed several felonies, he is unlikely to face consequences for that conduct.

On the other hand, Trump is squarely in the crosshairs of at least three grand jury investigations that have been very active over the last half year: the Fulton County, Georgia investigation of election fraud and related offenses; a federal grand jury investigation of the January 6 insurrection and events leading up to it; and a federal grand jury investigation of Trump’s unlawful possession of government records since leaving office and related offenses. These investigations suggest that Trump’s long run of avoiding accountability may soon be over.

1. Wow...

[IcyPeas]

2. Red means the deadline has passed or will likely pass soon.

Notes on table formatting

The “deadline to file charges” column is colored according to the deadline status. Red means the deadline has passed or will likely pass soon.

3. Should Be Corrected: Former President Tr**p.....nt

[kentuck]

4. He is a one-man crime wave.

No doubt about it.

[SoCalDavidS]

5. But People Here On DU Keep Saying That He's Going To Be Charged Soon

Sure thing, Lucy.

[gab13by13]

6. It has nothing to do with evidence or ducks,

or he would have been indicted as "individual one." It has to do with the will to indict a former president.

7. Which Is Exactly Why It's Never Going To Happen

All of these investigations are a giant waste of time and taxpayer money, since Nothing is going to happen to him.

[Duppers]

14. I don't think it's a waste of money even though...

I agree that nothing is likely to happen to him.

I would just like to see all his crimes detailed and on the record.

[David__77]

17. Former and possibly again.

That’s the crazy thing- he could run and win again.

19. It's going to happen, I have no doubt. It's just so slow.

Probably not for another year from the DOJ. Maybe sooner in GA.

[Hotler]

21. If so, I think this administration and the DOJ need to come before the American people

and say that. They need to own it. Own that they lied to us about nobody is above the law. First there was quiet, then there was, just not enough evidence, and now it seems to be we just don't have burden of proof. Next move will be, now is not the time to point fingers and then it will magically go away. Then there will be a fascist dictator and Christian death squads hunting Dems and Libs.

8. No one is above the law is becoming an obvious joke. Joe is giving Garland way too much time.

[Duppers]

15. Abso.fuckin.lutely❗

[lostnfound]

16. Apparently no one f***s with a trump, either?

In a country where people can get shot and killed for breathing while black in front of a cop, white Republican men have quite a stack of get-out-of-hail free cards

9. KR NT

[ancianita]

10. Thank you for this! A CREW list. Just what I've waited for.

CREW is badass.

[Farmer-Rick]

11. Those all so very timid prosecutors

55 crimes and counting. So, 55 times some prosecutor had to look at the mounds of evidence and say no, no, we can't prosecute the orange mass of jiggly flesh.

You think if you got caught committing these crimes, you would get 54 second chances?

[ancianita]

12. Or timid superiors.

To your loaded question, no.

But if a practiced grifter with 1,000 lawsuits behind him, has the millions, he could afford to push for due process, and thereby stall a lot of investigations toward filings.

A lot of these will become filed charges that will stick as long as Garland is AG.

[LymphocyteLover]

20. Unfortunately, Bill Barr negated a bunch of the ones that occurred while Dump was POTUS

and his cronies signed off on it. That's a huge part of the problem is how Dump corrupted DOJ and the justice system.

[Warpy]

13. Now he knows why cockroaches run from the light

He was in one of the strongest spotlights on the planet and now all this shit is catching up with him.
