I promised myself I would not comment on the ongoing rumors about Trump indictments BUT THEY'RE HERE! I haven't read any other coverage, so here's my first blush take on the contents. A THREAD /storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
First off - Walt Nauta HOW THE F COULD YOU BE THIS STUPID YOU WERE WARNED SO MANY PEOPLE WERE BURNED BY HIM YOU DUMB SAP.
This is more than the press rumors have been talking about. 793 is gathering and "losing" defense info; 1512s are obstruction of justice; 1001s are false statements; and 2 refers to Trumps role in the conspiracy.
This is just the 3rd paragraph and it bolsters what all of us #blueanon nutters have been saying: Trump is a walking talking national security risk.
Confirmed: Trump took the documents to Bedminster and waived them around while warning people about how confidential and secret they were. THEY WERE RECENT PLAN OF ATTACK DOCUMENTS PREPPED BY THE DOD.
Cover Up Allegations. Several of these will have to be testified to BY HIS FORMER LAWYERS who will be called against him.
The Secret Service was at Mar A Lago, but Trump never told them that there were NATSEC secrets needing protection there.
Trump's own statements used to prove his knowledge that these acts were crimes and to rub MAGAs nose in the importance of these laws.
They used his statement cutting off Obama era officials from clearance to emphasize that he is a lying POS.
MTHRFCKR HE KEPT BOXES IN THE BALLROOM WHERE HE WAS HAVING EVENTS AND NO ONE DID ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS A WHOLE SCANDAL UNTO ITSELF.
then they moved them to the shower.
Then they moved them to the storage room (which we've been hearing about) which was open from the pool and lots of other stuff.
FXK. AFTER THEY WERE IN THE STORAGE ROOM, THEY WERE FOUND TOPPLED AND OPEN, WITH FVEY LEVEL T/S DOCS LYING ON THE FLOOR.
Here he is waiving plan of attack documents to a writer and staffer, this time at Mar A Lago. THIS IS ALL VERY BAD ITS EVEN WORSE THAN I IMAGINED
Mr. No Collusion over here showing classified maps of Ukraine to people and talking up the filthy Russians.
When NARA tried to get its boxes back, Trump PERSONALLY chose to give them 15 boxes (knowing there were many more in storage as shown in picture staff gave him)
Walt the stupid did all the lugging of boxes around and then lied about it.
Once the lawyers got involved and were planning to search for more responsive documents, Trump told Nauta to move 64 more boxes out of the storage room and that dolt did it.
Then they put back 30 boxes that Trump had already reviewed and presumably taken the most sensitive stuff out.
The documents turned over with the "certification" that all docs were turned over were just the ones that Trump missed when he reviewed the 30 boxes.
The day that they certified all documents were turned over, some T/S docs flew to NJ with Trump, while the rest were left at Mar A Lago.
The ones that were left behind were the ones that were found with the search warrant.
The rest are charges, and fall in line with the above. Walt Nauta is amazingly stupid and a terrible liar. Its hard to imagine being shocked at how low Trump will go, but I am shocked. Shocked at his lack of care for our national secrets: shocked at how hard he f'd Nauta.
I wanted to celebrate today. And I guess I still will. But right now I feel genuinely upset that we as a society and the law enforcement and national security apparatus that is supposed to stop this could have let it go on so long and so horribly.
Dirk out.

Since the punditry has moved on to predicting how and whether the new administration will go about enacting it's policies and promises, I'm going to do the same. Thread below. In a word PROVOCATION.
He will want to identify and defeat any organized resistance by triggering "undesirables" so they can be jailed, deported or otherwise neutralized. His first acts will be designed to provoke protest, preferably unlawful protest (occupies, road blocks, etc.)
I would expect his first targets to be highly visible, unlawful and potentially violent acts against trans and pro palestine people. This, he hopes, will get libs into the streets where they can be targeted.
Dear Members of the US Armed Forces: If you do not want to be members of the New SS and used as storm troopers against US citizens, please read and share this thread. AND PLEASE VOTE. @USArmy @usairforce @USNavy @USMC @SpaceForceDoD
General John Kelly, US Marines, retired, was Trump's longest serving Chief of Staff. In that role he was the gatekeeper to the oval office, and present for many critical events. He said THIS WEEK that Trump is a fascist who admires Hitler.
Gen. Kelly flat out says that Trump will give unlawful military orders and will invoke the Insurrection Act. Trump confirms it.
DEAR FEDERAL EMPLOYEES. SCOTUS says you can all be fired tomorrow and no act of Congress can save you. Don't believe me? Think I'm stupid? READ THIS THREAD.
For about 150 years, Congress has protected executive branch employees from political pressures, by protecting them from firing, except for merit. protectdemocracy.org/work/the-civil…
This is a critical body of law which separates political appointees from career professionals. Those professionals hold massive expertise in critical sciences and the application of federal law. Their protection has been a constant for everyone living. mspb.gov/studies/studie…
In light of the new reporting that Tr u mp is a Hxtler supporter and outright fascist, I want to revisit Justice Roberts decision in Trump v. United States. A THREAD.
We all grew up in a country where it was flatly illegal for a POTUS to turn the military against the citizenry. There was never any question about that. It was a sure thing. That country is gone.
It has been repeatedly confirmed that Trump asked "his" generals to shoot protesters. And that they refused. THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. Trump wants generals that are loyal, and if we put him in power, that is what he (and we) will get.
I've been pretty skeptical about the DC case in light of Trump v. US, the immunity decision from SCOTUS, so this is our first chance to see what Jack Smith thinks. The first page hints at one line of attack - if Trump conspired with non-Presidents, is that immune?
JS lays out the plan: declare himself the winner after the day of votes are counted, but before the Biden heavy mail ins can be counted. In October 2020. Coincidentally, it is October now.
Dear Dems. We can't wait to vote for you. Kamala is the bomb; Walz too. We know you'll do great on the economy and access to the ballot and funding infrastructure and schools, and we long for that and look forward to it.
BUT THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT NEED INVESTIGATED
Like, for example: 1) TFG's spawn appear to have been involved in killing Kashoggi; shaking down Qatar for a blockade; massive post-term bribe taking; profiteering on the pandemic; 2) TFG is inciting riots TODAY along with the zillion other things he did/has done, oh and the 10M
from Egypt; 3) Melon Husk is embedded in our National Security institutions and is engaged in anti-democratic, anti-american activities that align with Putin; 4) "General" Flynn is still getting my tax funded retirement and health care while running an open insurrection;
