What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

If/when he does get indicted under the Espionage Act, he's going to absolutely blow up. What's the phase after caps-lock tweets?

A planned effort to vote on contempt charges today for FBI Director Chris Wray might just go nowhere today unless McCarthy makes amends with the Gaetz splinter caucus

Why contempt charges? The GOP want an unredacted copy of a report on unaccredited hearsay which was relayed to a credible person because they hope the bare allegation will make Biden look bad.

You classmates were turned into red mist? Tough break kid

Christ she is absolutely vile. How can people vote for that?

Trump indicted on 7 counts in South Florida.

The move to Florida emerging on Tuesday and the 2nd Grand Jury has been totally out of left field.

If I had to guess at what DOJ's play is here? It's going to charge the documents case in Florida and the insurrection/J6 case in DC.

Good hunting to Jack Smith!

When you think about it this is his last best shot: Miami, mar a lago, where many potential jurists will be pro trumpers, many even jan 6 'truthers,' and incidentally also coincidentally southern florida is a once thriving LGBTQ cultural center, which has been the target of terrorism since before and after Pulse Nightclub, up to and including state laws being passed to scare the **** out of LGBTQ and even minorities and other anti-Trump people so they will flee the jurisdiction, leaving an even more densely red jury pool. As a foil to the Bragg case in NYC, Trump couldn't ask for a forum more corruptly stacked in his favor, up to and including the federal circuit and the supreme court which is about to oversee this clusterfuck in history.

So if he loses this, he ain't got **** all else to say.

Ah sur, at least he was right about the golf I suppose!

All his life he’s gotten his way. Whilst he’s no stranger to court, this is a different game.

He is looking at very serious charges and if his solicitors lay it out that he’s in big trouble then I wouldn’t be surprised if he gritted his teeth and took a plea deal.

Imagine if he flees to Russia…

😂😂😂

No but he can whinge and moan about it from his golf course instead of a cell. He’s never been in this position before.

You’d have to imagine the evidence would have to be pretty overwhelming for the DOJ bringing a case like this against a former president. Getting ahead of ourselves here but if his legal team tell him the writings on the wall, I could see him him taking a deal.

@Penn: "He'll fight and drag it out for as long as possible with bullsh*t excuses and time delays, but there's a good chance he settles and agrees to plead guilty to some of the lesser charges if the bigger ones (espionage act especially) are dropped. Then he'll claim publicly he was forced to plead guilty, isn't guilty, corrupt DOJ, biased judges, donate here, whataboutBiden, donate here, crooked (insert relevant name), no seriously please give me money, I can do what I want I was President, give me money and I'll match your donation by giving 5x that amount to myself which actually doesn't mean anything because it's already my money but just give me more of your money for reasons I don't care just give me your money, something something Clinton, MAGA!"

I love it! Sounds like Molly Bloom's stream of consciousness.

His followers are going mad on Twitter, Biden gets 5m from Ukraine and Trump is indicted over a few documents, Trump had the power to declassify, its a political with hunt to stop Trump, electoral interference etc etc . Wouldn't put it past him to drop a few hints that maybe its time to hit back. He'd phrase it that its unfortunate that ordinary decent people are pushed into action because of a Marxist fascist government.
