Former President Donald Trump is under arrest at the federal courthouse in Miami, where he'll face 37 criminal charges related to his handling of classified documents. Follow here for the latest live updates.
Mr. Drumpf, you're fired sir :mission-accomplished-1::mission-accomplished-2: :trump-anguish:
If Trump was merely being a doofus, keeping boxes at his club because he can or is too incompetent to keep them organized, that would be one thing. The indictment includes allegations that Trump was actively sharing secrets and not cooperating (lying) when asked to return the documents. It is obviously more than just mishandling, it crossed into willful malice at a certain point, which is the only reason he was charged. He was given a long leash.
It does not matter how much the state likes Trump. Having state secrets casually shared at a country club is directly against state interests and therefore he had to be charged. This is perfectly logical even within a justice system which would have let him get away with crimes that anyone else would have been fucked for committing.
