This is gonna be wild... the feds hardly ever lose.

With that, I'm very curious to see the fallout should he be convicted.

The whataboutism will be endless as well

I work with many people who are so upset over this, calling it injustice and how horrible that we choose to prosecute Trump when we should instead be jailing Hillary, Harris, and Biden.

I bite my tongue and don’t say anything but it’s so frustrating.

his lawyer said this is “an attack on america”.

I'm wondering if the lawyers who quit did so because they were too embarrassed to say shit like that in court, despite a certain client's demands.

He's just a walking blizzard of dishonesty.

I'm just sad that federal mugshots aren't made public.

We need one of those mod appliable (or vote-appliable?) "Misleading title" or "headline altered" tags maybe

Meanwhile, someone allegedly steals a backpack in NYC and languishes in jail for years, then dies without ever having their trial.

that is so infuriating to me. no one should be above the law; trump and his cronies say the same thing. with so many americans getting profiled and wrongfully arrested and sentenced this makes me beyond angry

I hope he flees to Russia

Well tbh both his ego and his bank account command him to try to run for president again so I don't see him fleeing.

It's in Trump tweet font

No

It's the original formatting from the news site. And anyway, if I wanted to format it differently, I would have.

This is a bigger deal. These federal charges are way more serious than what he's facing in New York.

This is a bigger deal. Telling authorities you don't have top secret classified documents at your residence and allowing them to search certain rooms and then having them come back later with a warrant and finding them hidden in a bathroom (that they weren't allowed into originally) is really really bad.

It makes his other charge of using campaign donations for personal reasons look like jaywalking.

He was processed in New York, too. I'm going to guess that he's going to go through this process at least once more (in Georgia). I don't think he'll need to be fingerprinted and processed again if there are other federal charges while these are pending, but charges related to Jan. 6 might change his bail or conditions of release.

This is the biggest deal, imo. Having nuclear secrets, audio of him admitting he was breaking the law - and the public knowing about that, to me says they have much more ammo they'll be bringing to light in trial. I think he's screwed. I don't want to hold my breath, but this seems like it will really take him down.

That would probably depend on which instance you're using.

Unless I'm misunderstanding how this all works.

Being rich isn't as much of a defense when you've pissed off the DoD and there's recorded audio of you admitting you have illegally held nuclear secrets after lying and saying you didn't.

I get the worry though.

He was arrested, booked, fingerprinted, and formally charged on 37 counts then released on the condition that he avoid contact with potential witnesses in his upcoming trial.
