2. First of all, a former President - not just Mr. Trump - is governed by the Presidential Records Act, pertaining to any documentary material(s) they take with them after leaving office. Secondly, the Atomic Energy Act (AEA)...

<Thread> Former Trump supporters/legal advisors who have come out in favor of truth on #TrumpIndictment.
Trump's Attorney General Bill Barr on Fox News Sunday:
"If even half of it is true, then he's toast ... It's very, very damning."
"Espionage Act...are solid counts."

3. Plus conservative legal commentator:
“It’s a devastating document. If they can prove half of it, he’s toast.… They can probably prove more than half of it, because a lot of it is recorded conversations, testimony from his lawyers, and that sort of thing.”

The #TrumpIndictment is a travesty
But
The evidence is overwhelming
The #RightTake is
If we don't win in 2024
This is the new normal
So that's what really matters

I understand that indictments are not convictions
But prosecutors can't just lie
The facts outlined in the indictment are a huge hurdle
Trump's best chance is a juror who nullifies the charges and hangs the jury

Of course this is selective prosecution
Of course we have to back Trump in the latest attack of this seven year witch hunt
But we also have to be realistic
If we don't win in 2024
We're screwed

Although it'll probably fall on mostly deaf ears here, where too many are emotionally/financially invested in an outcome so they can't/won't be able to, since I like how Twitter is increasingly democratized let's try to have an adult conversation about #TrumpIndictment. THREAD:
It looks like this DOJ case is only about the Mar-A-Lago raid and the classified documents allegedly found. Hence, Trump being indicted in Miami. However, that jury pool won't be as biased against him as the one in Manhattan. Trump received 46% of the vote in Miami-Dade in 2020.
And yes, in this era of political persecution, evidence doesn't matter nearly as much as the political loyalties of the prospective jury pool. Trump is toast in Manhattan, where he received only 12% of the 2020 vote. He will likely be convicted of felonies there.

#TrumpIndicted on federal charges!!It’s significant that Trump, who’s always declared himself above the law & transformed the GOP & its base into a party of fascist lawlessness & violence– culminating in the Jan 6 coup attempt – faces serious charges & multiple investigations 1/7
The joy at the prospect of seeing this fascist criminal face any accountability, for anything & the hunger to see him behind bars is righteous. It reflects an enormous reservoir of popular sentiment that could be turned into necessary action to change history #TrumpIndictment 2/7
But we must not pin our hopes on a mechanism that cannot and will not address the reasons we so badly want to see Trump locked up.
Now is a time for vigilance, not complacency. #TrumpIndictment 3/7

See. Last criminal act was *December 2017.* Statute has NOT expired. 😅 Suck it. #TrumpIndictment
David Pecker says Trump thanked him for burying the McDougal affair and illegitimate child stories, and invited Pecker to Trump’s inauguration. Classy president!
Weisselberg “grossed up” the payment to Michael, to cover the taxes and give Michael a $60K “year end bonus.” Nice! Weisselberg *documented* the “reimbursement” details on Cohen’s bank statement. Whoopsies. 💩
#TrumpIndictment thread
This looks like @AWeissmann_ and my idea in NYT Op-ed:
“The participants also took steps that mischaracterized, for tax purposes, the true nature of the payments made in furtherance of the scheme.”
Would insulate from legal challenges (preemption etc.)

2. David Pecker is going to be a star witness.
- August 2015: The key meeting that set up the catch and kill election scheme is: Pecker, Trump, and Cohen (para 9)
- 2016: Pecker, Trump, Cohen “series of discussions” suppressing Karen MacDougal story (para 12)
- post election:… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

3. Evidence this was election driven (contra the "Melania"/"John Edwards" defense)
Para 19: Trump tried to avoid paying Stormy Daniels until after the election - “because at that point it would not matter if the story became public.”
Documents: emails and texts corroborate… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

So it appears that the Manhattan D.A.s office has indicted Donald Trump.
So what opportunities does this open up?
Why now? And why now is important...

D.A. Alvin Bragg's office has confirmed the indictment in 2 places. One is attributed to a Spokesperson & the other his office's General Counsel.
Is it odd he hasn't personally confirmed it?
Don't know.
But unless he's planning the biggest April Fools joke of all time, it's real.

According to NYTs the indictments are felony charges for "falsifying business records".
They require the courts to find that the records were falsified to cover up another crime, otherwise this is just a misdemeanor.
NY doesn't have jurisdiction to decide federal election crimes.

3) “Trump continued to paint the case as partisan and biased last night. “This is political persecution and election interference at the highest level in history,” he said in a statement. He has long feared the possibility of being arrested, according to nytimes.com/2023/03/31/bri…… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
#Trump cheats on his wife with a porn star, pays her off to stay quiet. He evades taxes, he shows loyalties to Russia, he sent a mob to storm the capital and attempt to over throw the U.S. government because he lost an election, he tried to go against the constitution
He stole classified documents. Being indicated on civilian charges, isn't a political attack. It isn't political persecution. It's the U.S. justice system at work. This is the constitution at work. Absolutely NO one is above the law. NO ONE. #TrumpIndictment
#trump and trump supporters all swear by the constitution swear by the laws now that their idol is being held bound by the same constitution and law, and its a "political persecution" being president doesn't pardon you from being held accountable for your actions #TrumpIndictment

2) What is next? In the coming days, prosecutors working for the district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, will likely ask Mr. Trump to surrender and to face arraignment. The specific charges will be announced when he is arraigned. Perp walk nytimes.com/live/2023/03/3…… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
3) they will negotiate Mr. Trump’s surrender. If he agrees, it will raise the prospect of a former president, with the Secret Service in tow, being photographed and fingerprinted in the bowels of a New York State courthouse.

HOLY SHIT Donald Trump has been criminally indicted in Manhattan!
Per NYT it’s felony indictment, it’s been filed under seal, and it’ll be announced in the coming days.
Trump will now be instructed to surrender himself by a deadline, then he’ll be placed under arrest, processed, and arraigned in front of a judge. This is all happening.
#TrumpIndictment Update:
Before the grand jury will deliberate about a Trump indictment, Prosecutors say a final surprise witness will testify TOMORROW afternoon.
