The Trump Indictments

Maybe they pushed his document fraud case to December because of his rape cases in NYC…

On April 25, a jury trial in one of two civil cases brought against Trump by author E. Jean Carroll is set to get underway in New York. While a judge put Carroll's defamation lawsuit against Trump on indefinite hold, the battery case, in which Carroll alleges that Trump raped her in a dressing room at a Bergdorf Goodman department store in the mid-1990s, is plowing ahead.

Mark, was this image posted in earnest or ironically?  (I mean where you found it on Twitter. I know you’re not the original poster.)

In all seriousness I can not tell with his cult following. I could believe that someone created that picture and added the caption out of devotion and reverence for the orange Antichrist.

No on Rape, Yes on Sexual Abuse and other charges, looks like E. Jean Carroll will be awarded $5 million.

He sure does pay a lot of money just to grab things that don’t belong to him huh…she was definitely his type.


Since this was a civil trial, is it accurate to say Trump was "convicted"? What's the correct language?

"Found liable", from what I've read.

Or he lost.  He seems to hate that word

But he’s the biggest loser. 


Donald Trump has been ordered to attend "Don't Be A Jerk" school.

"Donald Trump was ordered Thursday to appear by video at a May 23 hearing in his Manhattan criminal case after a judge this week set rules barring him from using evidence in the case to attack witnesses.

"Judge Juan Manuel Merchan scheduled the hybrid hearing — the former president on a TV screen, his lawyers and prosecutors in court — to go over the restrictions with Trump and to make clear that he risks being held in contempt if he violates them."

Trump is probably going to be a virtual ATM for Carroll.  I can't believe that's the last time he'll defame her in public.


Something may be up on the federal front, soon. Trump made his attorneys send this unprofessional letter demanding a meeting with the Attorney General. 


I seriously thought that was a fake letter and you either were posting as a joke or had uncharacteristically fallen for a fake story. But no, apparently that's neither satire nor fake, but a real thing in the actual world.

Trump Was Taped Discussing Sensitive Document He Had Kept After Leaving Office (NYT)

Federal prosecutors investigating former President Donald J. Trump’s handling of classified material have a recording of Mr. Trump from 2021 discussing a sensitive military document he had kept after leaving the White House, two people briefed on the matter said.

In the recording, Mr. Trump suggested he knew the document was secret and had not declassified it, one person briefed on the matter said.

The existence of the recording could undermine Mr. Trump’s repeated claim that he had already declassified material that remained in his possession after he left office. Prosecutors are scrutinizing whether Mr. Trump obstructed efforts by federal officials to retrieve documents he took with him after leaving office and whether he violated laws governing the handling of classified material.

The existence of the recording was reported earlier by CNN.


He’s such an adolescent of our times. Filming himself breaking the law. I am surprised he didn’t post it on tik tok.

As Bugs Bunny once said, "What a maroon."


Trump could be wearing an ankle bracelet while accepting the Republican nomination:—James Comey 


"The grand jury in Florida is separate from the one that has been sitting for months in Washington and has been the center of activity for prosecutors as they investigate whether Mr. Trump mishandled classified documents after leaving office or obstructed efforts to retrieve them. Among those who have appeared before the Washington grand jury in the past few months or have been subpoenaed by it, people familiar with the investigation said, are more than 20 members of Mr. Trump’s Secret Service security detail."

Maybe he will be indicted tomorrow for the documents he kept. His cult will vote for him even if he’s in stripes in jail. That’s the reality of this twilight zone we find ourselves in presently.


Can he take the oath of office in prison?  Then he can pardon himself.

People can vote for someone in prison but obviously he can’t be president while he’s locked up. That won’t stop the cult from voting for him.

Constitutionally speaking, why not?


Trump lawyers notified that he is the target of classified documents probe (Reuters)

June 7 (Reuters) - Federal prosecutors have notified former U.S. President Donald Trump's attorneys he is the target of an investigation into his handling of classified materials, a person familiar with the matter said on Wednesday, adding to his legal troubles as he campaigns for the White House in 2024.

The Justice Department typically notifies people when they become targets of an investigation to give them an opportunity to present their own evidence before a grand jury. The notification does not necessarily mean Trump will be charged.

News of the notification to Trump's legal team surfaced just two days after his attorneys met with Justice Department officials to discuss the case.
