He knows his minions won't read the indictment. I bet all the folks at Fox are watching CNN, MSNBC, or ABC. I wonder if anyone at Fox has the nerve to report on the actual indictment.

Nah, they are still pushing HIllary, Joe, and Hunter.

Which family member is ma'am?
Let's hope it's Melania, and she gets to be indicated as well.

It's someone for whom English is not their first language.
Melania is my first guess too.
I too will take the over on Melania:

The text is arguably innocuous, as it appears the sender was concerned about luggage space on the plane, and not the content of the boxes eating up the valuable luggage space.

To pick that nit: the House did impeach, twice; the Senate did not convict (twice). :towel:

Interesting the DOJ went with section 793, subd. (e), and not subd. (d) or both (d) & (e).

Meaning the DOJ firmly believes the retention was unauthorized, and isn't going to dignify the magic declassification theory or the belief the president has the authority to determine what is presidential versus personal.

I am aware of a military case where the government charged both (d) and (e) and decided to let the jury figure it out (IIRC, the defense theory was authorized possession, then he took it home by accident). The jury was never instructed on the difference between (d) and (e) or that the accused was charged in the alternative. The appellate court threw out the specification alleging (d), affirmed the specification alleging (e), and reassessed the sentence. No change.

It’s obvious from the indictment that the government’s theory is that he removed them from the White House after he was no longer President, so (e) is right, I think.

I love how the government goes out of its way in the indictment to debunk the magic declassification theory by using Trump’s own I-can’t-declassify-this-because-I’m-no-longer-President schtick against him, while the staffers are yucking it up.

From the indictment:
Employee No. 2 wrote:[A]nything not in the beautiful mind paper boxes can definitely go to storage.
"The Beautiful Mind" appears to be either a mental-health program or a perfume line. :think:

* * *

The indictment discusses secret plans to attack "Country A." It is inferably Iran, but I want to believe he ordered plans to attack Mexico. Or Canada.

* * *

The indictment also discusses Attorney No. 3 and her false certification.

At this point, I would be surprised if she isn't separately indicted.

Attorney No. 1 seems up to the eyeballs in this caper; methinks someone has immunity.

What a good little lap dog!

There's no downside to this for her; it's grist for the griftmill, and it will ingratiate her with Donnie Depends should he somehow survive this.

Prediction: Nauta soon will plead guilty to count 38 (the section 1001 charge for lying to the Feebs about the boxes) and the government is going to recommend no prison time. All other counts to be dismissed.

Because, IMO, Nauta flipped.
