Good news, bad news and granular news..
First, the good news. The judge assigned to the Trump documents case is U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon. She is the same judge who handled the lawsuit last year after the FBI raided Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. Judge Cannon was the judge who appointed the “special master” to review the documents the DOJ was claiming were classified, but Team Trump was contending that definition.
Now the bad news. The DOJ is no longer legally arguing that Donald Trump held any classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. The DOJ is arguing that President Trump held documents vital to U.S. defense security. It’s a farce but that’s their position. The classification status of documents is moot, nonexistent, except to create the predicate for the proverbial FBI nose under the tent.
The DOJ-NSD (that’s Lisa Monaco) got a warrant to look for classified documents, but never intended to use classified documents as a case cornerstone because President Trump had full declassification authority. The DOJ got a search warrant by convincing a judge they were looking for something that wasn’t even a violation of law. That’s why the DOJ would not reveal the probable cause affidavit. The search was built upon a fraudulent pretense. “Classified” is a snipe hunt.
You will notice Jack Smith never discussed “classified documents” in his remarks, and the issue of classified documents appears nowhere except in the indictment as a purposeful lawfare description of documents. The DOJ is not legally charging anything relating to the classification status of the documents. That’s the Lawfare and media banter to create a talking point. The term “classified” is all over the indictment, but as a lawfare adjective only; it’s like using the word “stash”.
The special counsel legal framework is centered around documents the DOJ define as vital to “the defense security” of the United States. EVERYTHING is predicated on 31 counts of an 18 U.S. Code § 793(e) violation. The DOJ defines what is considered a defense document, and that intentionally has nothing to do with classification.
The granular news. You might have heard that two of Trump’s lawyers, Jim Trusty and John Rowley, quit today. The media wants to use their exit as a point to indicate Trump is in legal jeopardy; however, that’s not the case.
As soon as Trusty and Rowley saw their forced testimony was used in the indictment, they had no option except to exit the case. Despite the lawyers providing no damaging information against Trump, the DOJ used language in the indictment to turn Trump’s lawyers into material witnesses. Weissmann’s Lawfare tactic create a conflict, forcing the two Trump lawyers to depart.
WASHINGTON DC – Two of Donald Trump’s top lawyers abruptly resigned from his defense team on Friday, just hours after news broke that he and a close aide were indicted on charges related to their handling of classified documents.
Jim Trusty and John Rowley, who helmed Trump’s Washington, D.C.-based legal team for months and were seen frequently at the federal courthouse, indicated they would no longer represent Trump in matters being investigated and prosecuted by special counsel Jack Smith, who is probing both the documents matter and efforts by Trump to subvert the 2020 election.
The resignations were shortly followed by an announcement from Trump himself confirming that a close aide, Walt Nauta, had also been indicted by federal prosecutors. Nauta, a Navy veteran, had served as the former president’s personal aide and was a ubiquitous presence during his post White House days.
In their place, Trump indicated that Todd Blanche — an attorney he recently retained to help fight unrelated felony charges brought by Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg in April — would lead his legal team, along with a firm to be named later. Trump and his team have liked Blanche, who is expected to play a more elevated, central role. (more)
Weissmann, Eisen and Smith are using lawfare in the indictment to put the interests of Trump and his aide Walt Nauta against each other. Obviously, Nauta would not turn on Trump, so the prosecution made Nauta a target for a federal 1001 charge of lying to investigators and will pressure him throughout the case to take a plea in exchange for testimony against Trump. Nauta is the baseline of the “Conspiracy Elements” which require two or more people. Again, pure Lawfare.
Obviously, Jim Trusty was unaware last night that his forced testimony would be used in the indictment. WATCH:
Trump attorney Jim Trusty on Good Morning America dropping truth bombs about Biden’s classified documents scandal and George Stephanopoulos has a meltdown
Trusty handles it perfectly, literally just laughing in his face and continuing on:
WATCH
“No person is below the law” LOL

Little Georgie is such a putz. What a eunuch response when he’s confronted with facts
George Little didn’t reproduce for obvious reasons.
His wife had two children by someone who could take care of business.
Oh, he KNOWS EXACTLY what the attorney is referring to!
George Stickanappleuphisass got butt hurt with the truth.
So brilliant, Mass, I had to watch it over and over.
Notice as Trusty is finishing the job on Stephanopolus, the split screen disappeared.
Tee hee… snicker…
That was feel good tee vee!
George overacted, CR. I was surprised he didn’t gasp audibly, then throw his hand up to his sunken chest.
He was begging for what came. And Trusty didn’t disappoint.
…in other words and in the British vernacular, George overegged the pudding.
LOL, good one Betsy..
And God bless you!
Epic! LMAO!
Panties in a knot Jorge.
He got his knickers in a twist
Just watching that evil SOB gets my blood pressure soaring.
😂😂😂 so funny! I think I need some of that mind bleach!!
The eyebrows are dead on!!
The police know the Burka wearing scumbag married her brother. Isn’t that against the law?
Loved Trusty’s comment “nice try” when Georgie tries to pull his shenanigans- lying & bullying the interviewee. Trusty bulldozed over and beyond Georgie.
Remember when it was the job of the media to investigate the people in government. George showed no interest in Biden papers taken before he was pResident, stuffed in a garage, and is common knowledge.
George accused Trusty of lying about Pedo Joe and possession of classified docs.
I saw the interview, Trusty was great. George got his butt kicked.
Thank you SO much for that clip !
It’s easy to see why lawfare wanted him off the case. Talk about effective !!!
I will never forget that day in 1993 when a building with dozens of people inside was burning, George Steponhisass came on the radio directing the press to the FBI. “Talk to the FBI. The FBI has operational control.” Passing the buck while children burned alive, with huge government fire power pointed towards them. I turned on the TV in shock and watched the scene while listening to this sick pervert. Thinking then that this, and the then recent atrocity at Ruby Ridge, defended by Bill Barr, was the demarcation of the end of the country as I had known it.
Forgive my poor writing this time. I’m to mad to proof read. But when I have to face the disgrace our country has become to its forefathers, even considering the sins of slavery and genocide of the American Indians, his is the pathetic face I see.
Priceless!
I wish Trusty had only said, “Sorry if the truth hurts, George.” after George’s sourpuss thank you to Trusty for coming.
I think the , the lawfare team has inadvertently energized the American voters. Even dumb people will see this for what’s it is.
You underestimate the stupidity of the average voter
yep
More importantly, “We the People (MAGA)” grossly underestimate those who think the average working person (deplorable) voter is stupid.
Mistake!
They SEE!
And overestimate their intelligence.
Trump’s 2025-29 “Revenge Tour” should be magnificent for the visuals, especially the rough arrests of Weissmann, Eisen and Smith on treason and sedition charges, tried by the coming new Art. III “honor courts.”
Define dumb people.
People who think Biden won the election legitimately .
It’s past due time to drop the hammer on the Biden Crime Syndicate.
They will as soon as Ukraine is destroyed.
I feel a groundswell coming.
👍💕🇺🇸
I expect they’ll try to get rid of Judge Cannon with some conflict of interest argument, since Trump appointed her, but if they wanted to do that, the special master hearings would have the place to do it. They had not objection to her handling the case then, so they may have waived it.
Not that they won’t try some spurious pretext to remove her and then lean on the Chief Judge to appoint their preferred judge.
Appeals, yet, Clarence Thomas is head of the 11th circuit.
He’s the justice assigned to the Eleventh Circuit, but it would be the Circuit judges who would decide any appeals. I think he would only take emergency appeals from and Eleventh Circuit ruling. He also probably takes emergency appeals from state supreme courts in the circuit.
They got what they wanted from the 11th Circuit the last time.
Lawfare only works with corrupt judges. There are a lot of them.
Right you are… Which is why, once dirt-bag Smith knew he would have to move part of the case to Florida, that there has been so much in the news about Justice Thomas and Jennie being under a cloud of suspicion for receiving favors from conservative donors…
Don’t think Justice Thomas will be intimidated…
Just sayin…
One thing about Clarence Thomas is he takes no bs from the doj and will destroy the lawfare slime
Praying!
Evil seeks to either make you comply or destroy you. Find out what the commie hates, and force feed it to them until they puke!
I am confident that most honest Americans will see this for what it is, brazen election interference.
I’m not afraid of these cowards. And, I know that Donald J. Trump isn’t either.
Forward march! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Most Americans will think President Trump broke the law and is going on trial for it. Most Americans do not read any conservative sites, especially this one. Most Americans only know what is fed to them. And that is a big part of the problem.
Everyone I meet now, I tell them about theconservativetreehouse.com. I let them know this is the best news analysis anywhere. They are in the know and VERY interested.
LOL! I actually have an attorney at one of the dirtiest Clinton law firms, who HATE where they work, on my send list. It is fun! AND they are appreciative of the comms.
👍
BS
Which part of what I said is BS? Do you really think 50%+ of Americans know the truth about President Trump’s legal problems? I hope you are right.
I think 50%+ of Americans can intuit that Trump is being treated unjustly at this point. I think at this point most people are saying “Hey, let it go. This is dumb. At least we weren’t getting crushed under Trump and being told weirdos own our kids not us.”
bill boards.
I don’t think that most people will think that President Trump broke the law. Most people think that the cops are bullies and lie.
It’s only the far left that are pulling for this.
My next door neighbor is retired FBI but he’s keeping it a secret and doesn’t want anyone in the neighborhood to know.
The polls say the majority of Americans; think the 2020 election was likely stolen, the FBI and DOJ have committed crimes and must be reigned in, and that Trump is being persecuted because he is Joe’s likely opponent in 2024.
Even a majority of Democrats think the 2020 election was not on the up-and-up.
Don’t blame him.
If he’s not worthy, out him.
Go to any gathering, event, store, etc where the bulk of the people are under 50.
You may come away with a different opinion.
lol, I’d say the opposite. I see plenty of under 50 despise Biden. It’s people like my boomer parents that are programmed.
You ain’t been around any mid forties people lately???
The MAGA crowd is growing as more sunlight pours in on the lawfare gang. Keep pinging your reps taking note of their inaction. Mine keep on responding with deflection news. Just rx’d one from Turner about all he’s done for Ohioans. Never even addressed my concerns. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!
Turner is a useless RINO. Full of himself and not at all MAGA.

The DOJ defines what is considered a defense document, and that intentionally has nothing to do with classification.
Looks the basis for one argument in Trump’s motion to dismiss the indictment. The prosecutor can say the law says what he wants it to say. Looks unconstitutionally vague.
We’re in Alice in Wonderland territory here. “When I use a word,” said Humpty Dumpty said in a rather scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean – neither more nor less.”
Especially when said documents can’t be seen by anyone. Everything is so mysterious.
There was a time when Justice was about seeking the truth, not creating a falsehood.
Then Obama was elected.
Evil communist sack of cocaine addled 💩!
M a y b e . . .
I’m not sure that’s the case. In America at least, local, state and federal prosecutors have railroaded people pretty much always.
Where counter-lawfare can succeed: US District Court, Casper Wy. There won’t be a rigged jury!
As I read 18 US Code 793e, it seems to me that they have to do more than just show that DJT was in possession of the documents. Am I wrong about this? Unless they can show that he had intent or did distribute them to someone who wasn’t allowed to have them, what is the case against President Trump?
They allegedly have some audio recording in which he’s discussing a document on Iran. They would need the testimony of those present to prove that the document actually had something to do with defense security.
Did Trump show it to them? Let them read it Did it have any markings on it to indicate it was such a document. There is the noise of paper rustling – was Trump just putting them on?
And as far as the boxes in the bathroom and ballroom – will they argue that leaving such boxes around showed “intent” to let others peek at them?
Well at least they were secured,neatly. Not strown in a garage, reeking of gas fumes and hunters Crack fumes…
Dershowitz, I believe, passed a similar statement on one of the Fox shows this morning. The President was being interviewed by an author (name escapes me) for a book covering DC corruption. Purportedly, the President stated he had kept a tape related to DC skulduggery. Dershowitz specifically mentioned this as likely to be exploited to demonstrate intent.
The author was none other than Bob Woodward.
I believe the conversation regarding Iran was with Mark Meadows.
It was the ‘no intent’ that saved Killary.
When “intent” wasn’t even part of the statute she violated. Her choice of CONDUCT was!
18 US Code 793e doesn’t apply to President Trump because the Espionage act does not apply to Presidents, rather the Presidential Records Act is the controlling statute.

Mike Davis Gettr is the best source of informed legal information regarding this case…
https://gettr.com/user/mrddmia
I like Mike, but he’s a little biased. I think Dersh is a creep. Turley is in a better position to call balls or strikes, but I think his self pardon analysis is milquetoast.
Love to see him as AG.
I think there has to be an intent to damage the United States, or to advantage another country over the United States. It’s been awhile since this has come up (Hillary and “gross negligence,” (paragraph f). Uniform Code of Military Justice cases do not need intent. Regular US District Court judges typically want intent.
https://warontherocks.com/2016/07/why-intent-not-gross-negligence-is-the-standard-in-clinton-case/
Am I reading this correctly? They are trying to charge President Trump with a 793 violation which occurred when President Trump or his lawyers asked Nauta to move some boxes containing “defense security” materials around Mar a Lago. SOunds like a pretty weak case.
Didn’t the feds tell Trump to move the documents to another place (to a locked closet?) after their first visit, and he had that done?
Actually it was Tump supposedly bragging about The Iran invasion written by Gen. Milley that’s what I read in the indictment.
That’s what the audio recording was about. The recording was supposedly made up in New Jersey.
and from the transcript *as it were* it would appear that President Trump is making is very clear that Milley was initiating not just bad advice and information, but was obvious attempting to manipulate President Trump with FALSE information.
so in discovery…It’s going to be very interesting if this comes up…because that involves the testimony AND BACKGROUND of that conversation President Trump was illuminating and also can you imagine Gen Milley fat boy in court trying to testify about what his actual briefing was about?
If I was Milley, I would looking over my shoulder..because that goofball is not in a position to take down the entire DOJ..and not just this case either!
God Bless America

Kash Patel breaks down the case.
This is outstanding.
Video linked in tweet…
at 3:42 the questions about: “why not just give the documents back…why would President Trump refuse”?
This is where almost all pundit, left right and center do not understand the core critical mass.
the raid and this case was NOT to “protect national security or national defense”! NO NO NO NO.
this raid and this case is A MILITARY STYLE OPERATION TO STEAL ALL DOCUMENTS< MATERIALS AND NOTES that President Trump had in his possession that would implicate and lead to the criminal conviction of at least 1,000 people…probably more.
the fact is this: the reason why the DOJ refuses to give a inventory of what they STOLE …is because they need that material to never see the light of day. Within that material is hard evidence that President Trump can show to the world in his NEXT TERM that will allow him to morally and correctly begin to go after these criminally corrupt people.
He retains this material to both protect himself and also to use it as evidence and a sharpened battle axe when the correct moment in time occurs.
The DOJ took action and has made this a criminal case because they must destroy President Trump to save their own skins.
That is the truth…it’s has nothing to do with following SOP or archiving dinner napkins.
cross fire hurricane secrets …unlawful surveillance…corrupt and manipulative security and defense briefings…unelected officials and DOD taking military operations without congressional NOR presidential authotizations. deep secrets of corrupt and criminal acts of at least 200 people within the FBI and DOJ. criminal evidence of congressional members.
President Trump took with him, evidence of crimes. Crimes that the deep state committed..over…and over…and over.
THAT is why he refused to give them over.
God Bless America
We oughta help pay for President Trumps defense.
They’re after us through him. It’s our fight too.
Imagine if 50 million people gave $5 each.
That would send a shiver through the lawless backbone of the surveillance state.
If I had no morals I would suggest the cheaper route of hiring professional problem solvers. Maybe go to Hillary for references.
I just sent him $250. I don’t know what else to do. Besides pray
IIRC, Nauta is a former Marine who wouldn’t “compose.”
Jeff Clark
@JeffClarkUS
I’ve read the entire indictment. And I disagree
@mitchellvii
.
Let me explain something to everyone about how statutory interpretation works. (And it’s clearly a weak spot for Jack Smith, given his 9-nothing smack down in the Supreme Court on the honest services case against former VA Bob McDonnell and his failed prosecution against wealthy Dem trial lawyer and VP candidate John Edwards. As the Edwards case shows, Smith is particularly stymied by highly complex regulatory statutes.)
Here, Smith is totally ignoring the Presidential Records Act — but it’s on the field and cannot be ignored. When multiple statutes apply, they often must be harmonized.
One of the key principles of statutory interpretation is that the specific controls over the general. And the Presidential Records Act is the more specific statute given what the facts are at issue as alleged in the indictment. It controls here over the Espionage Act unless, perhaps, Smith could show that Donald Trump was acting as a spy giving national defense info to our Nation’s enemies. And of course, he can’t because Trump is so loyal to the US he sweats Americana on a hot day and on a cold day his soup is red, white, and blue.
So ironically, like many of the Left’s plays are really a form of psychological projection, the Espionage Act (as to China, Romania, and Ukraine) perhaps is in the Biden family’s tarot card reading — their fortune telling. But DOJ under Biden cannot simply wish away Trump’s defenses.
Sadly, the Leftist media in their breathless frenzy will not try to educate their viewers on how complex statutory construction works.
And truth be told, most of the relevant viewers wouldn’t get it even if CNN tried. Because they have something akin to immunity to deep rational analysis. To logic. To the law.
They are like paper people who can see in only two dimensions.

My favorite Uncle’s favorite Uncle did too.
I was the first of the family to visit his grave in Henri-Chappelle, Belgium.
Got to bring my favorite Uncle over to visit him too.
If you all get a chance, the American Battle Monuments Commission has a wonderful website documenting and administering the public face of the work they do around the world to care for our honored fallen, if you can’t go there, you can see their resting places online.
Mine died for less than this…😪
Mine survived to come home and make the next branch of the tree, who were raised to know what they did and to expect to carry on the tradition of not putting up with tyranny.
Not entirely sure which generation lost the plot.
Since fbi did not allow President Trump’s attorney Christina Bobb to observe the search an seizure, how do we know documents were not planted? They have history of doing worse.

Keep the Truth coming…..
Every attempt to thwart, silence, destroy, and get rid of Trump has backfired. I have faith this time it will be no different. God’s turned everything the left means to harm Trump with, into something good for Trump. He has more support now than ever. People have seen this corruption and unethical lawfare that even the likes of Trump haters like Nancy Mace have seen the light!
God has his hands in all of this and he’s protecting Trump. Keep the faith, keep praying, and living your best life!
Also this will bring out more truth. It already has.
I don’t understand: how and why was Trusty “forced to testify”. Where’s the attorney-client privilege?
the corrupt attorney’s argued and the court agreed, that the attorneys privilege could not be used because there was “sufficient reasons” to believe the attorney’s were directly involved or had knowledge of an alleged criminal activity. Obviously, if this was the case, then the DOJ would have moved to include them as defendants! It was a legal maneuver to get them removed from the team ultimately, and then with any luck pressure them in grand jury testimony to give up something that the special prosecutor could use to materialize something…anything…
it was a fishing expedition that the judge approved. The attorneys did not provide any substantial evidence of any alleged crimes….they told the truth. Unfortunately, this testimony has the effect of making them unsuitable to represent the interests of President Trump legally in a courtroom
but here is what it cannot do: it cannot eliminate them from providing legal support and also witnesses if Team Trump and his new warriors need them to do so.
God Bless America

We must mock and show disdain for all repub candidates out there that do not show unequivocal support for Trump.
A chuckle and a ” Nice try!” Epic, Mr. Trusty!!
I’m worried about the alleged recording.
In this day of AI, how do you trust any recording?
“Documents vital to US defense security…”
Tell us more. Can they not call any and all docs that a POTUS had declassified “doc vital to US defense security, thereby capturing any and all US Presidents of an illegality?
And, watch, they’ll find some way to replace that judge with one they like.
The entire “statute/law” is un-constitutional.. they could deem ANY document “vital to US defense security”…. It gives absolute power and total control of ALL INFORMATION to the government and therefore absolute power and cntrol over each and every individual in this nation.
This so-called “statue/law” is absurd on it’s face…
This whole thing is blatantly and obviously illegal, that goes without saying. The 64,000-dollar question is, who is going to do anything substantiative about it besides bloviate with useless tough talk and acting all flustered? The greatest President in my lifetime of seventy-one years, is about to be railroaded into prison by filth who are not even worthy of kissing the bottoms of his shoes. Anyone believing this Country is going to turn around after this is truly delusional. Red line galore, have been crossed. The Democrat Communist Party knows now that no one is going to stop them, and they are in control at the moment, and it looks like they will be in control for the foreseeable future if they put President Trump in prison. We as a Nation are standing on the crumbling edge of the precipice and now is the time to do whatever we are going to do whether it is civil war or roll over and surrender. I prefer bloody and ruthless civil war and either take our Country back or die trying. I am too old now to live on my knees, so I would rather die on my feet, because blood is going to have to be shed to correct this mess.
the people will have to experience more pain….it depends really on how you feel about that pain and the result…many will in fact bow down and kneel.
we will not be among them

@JoshuaSteinman
Jason, the President of the United States is the “Original Classification Authority,” and holds the ultimate authority to classify and declassify information. This power is typically delegated to various departments and agencies. But ultimately it is POTUS’s.
Classification process is for every person **but** the President, who, as OCA, can do anything he wants. None of the rules apply to him, because they are **his** directives to all others. The VP. The Cabinet. Everyone else. POTUS could tweet out the PDB. Legal.
Sometimes I would travel with POTUS on AF1 — there’s always an NSC staffer in case of emergency — and the rule was, no matter where you were, you gave him the full briefing. Because it was **his** information you were protecting, per Article 2 of the US Constitution.
Backstage at a rally in WV? Full briefing. Middle of a golf course in Virginia? Full briefing.
The mere act of packing up the documents and sending them to his designated archive location — completed while he was President, and OCA — is sufficient.

There not arguing classification they’re arguing national defense secrets.
It’s all nonsense but they’re gonna get away with it.
The grand jury subpoena only asked for documents with classification markings, not “defense secrets” without classification markings.
I think this is a big problem for the prosecution since they emphasize in their investigation what happened after the service of the grand jury subpoena and before the service of the search warrant.
It is not reasonable to expect people to look for something that the prosecution did not specifically inform the defendant he had to look for. I might be wrong, but I think this could really mess up the prosecution, at least eliminating all the counts represented by any document not displaying classification markings.

After Trump was charged by the Manhattan District Attorney’s office earlier this year in a separate case, some noted that the U.S. Constitution only requires that a candidate be a natural-born citizen, at least 35 years old, and be a resident of the United States for at least 14 years. Retired Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz told The Epoch Times in March that Trump could run—and serve—”from prison” if he is convicted and sentenced.

And wouldn’t that be a hoot….can you imagine the damage that something like that would do, to the local (mostly liberal) government budgets? The disruption to operations?
If it weren’t so dearly and deadly scary, it could be funny….I think I see a new comedy movie plot for the near future? We need humor…or else it willl be a long and painful weekend news cycle.
Support staff…press secretaries, secret service offices and accommodations…food prep…electronic set up….Mail service alone….
Now back to our regularly scheduled broadcast….
When are lawyers, regardless of political ideology, going to start fighting back to reclaim attorney-client privilege that has been a bedrock for the practice of law in our country?
half of attorney’s would prefer to keep that debate alive and half of court judges will too.
it’s power.
the corruption isn’t limited to “politics” and big money theft.
there is a certain breed of rabid legal operative that creates loopholes and space…it uses these manipulations because it creates power.
right now, for instance…the controlling factor in all of the US Government, appears to be
one single agency: the DOJ…with it’s night police, the FBI doing its laundry.
that is our reality.
and attorneys, at least half are looking at this and thirsting for the same kinds of opportunities to twist the law and act like wild rabid dogs.
the revolution will reform this…severely.
God Bless America
Geraldo somewhat parrots Rachel Maddow. Sick, sick, sick. If Trump agrees not to run for office Biden would pardon him. Yeah, that’s democracy in their minds.
Sad but true to total idiots and morons!
My wife is a Trump supporter but doesn’t follow everything, she like many do not understand the details. People get caught up in the picture a of boxes etc. They are facts how do you deny facts. The problem is this indictment requires people to understand the details, many people don’t have the time or inclination to examine. That’s exactly the idea, file the charges and let the MSM spin the narrative. Most people are not reading the CTH, unfortunately.
The thing about “Trump” is it ain’t about Trump….it’s about policy, and it would be about government if it weren’t for leftists or just plain retards populating the ranks of govt employees…
President Donald J. Trump isn’t about himself…yeah sure he relishes the spotlight but he could have that by just being wealthy…media loves wealth…
President Trump accomplished so much in his term…he was moving this nation in the right direction but the WEF and the deepstate just couldn’t let the be….deepstate attempted to stage a coup against the American people and have likely succeeded…
I can’t express adequately how much that pains me…
Trumps presidency was the best for this nation I have ever seen…I am 63 yrs old…
God help us and God Bless Us is the best I can hope for….
Outside of a few well placed heart attacks or strokes rendering the enemies of the republic….dead.
Obama attempted the coup…that’s who is behind all of the bs…
Barack Hussein Obama…
Run rabbit run…try to hide…
But the chickens WILL come home to roost..
For Barack….
Yup, Barrack is pulling the levers no doubt.
Yet he is as much a puppet as is Biden.
Simply slightly more sentient.
Only twelve people really need to understand the details. They get to vote on guilt, or the lack of it.
The court of public opinion doesn’t put people in jail, nor free them, though it sometimes inspires other actions.
All else is discussion, and talk is cheap. I have preferences, but I won’t be determining what happens.
When the strategy is literally to fabricate cases that cannot stand, meant only to sway the minds of the people and create the impression that the moves of the RNC to keep him off the ballot are just and proper, then every mind counts.
Tell your wife about fbi going through Melanie’s personal effects drawers for no reason. She will get the message.
it’s simple…as simple as it can be made to be simple
you to wife: who are you going to trust…? President Trump ? or a agency full of corrupt criminals who have proven to over and over and over again to be criminals?
it’s just that simple.
there really is no need for the ordinary person to get down into the weeds..
the truth is self revealing….
I would also highly recommend praying specifically when in doubt about anything.
it goes something like this:
God, I need your help. I need to make a decision about what the truth is over this matter. Help me form the correct decision.
amen
God Bless America
