Evidence gathered by Smith’s team found Trump took top-secret materials “pertinent to his business interests” when he left the White House in January 2021.

    We all believed and still believe this. The amount of blatant corruption is proof enough that if he could make money off this we absolutely would.

    Why is this being reported now? We’ve known this for years.

    Has something changed today?

      I’d be okay with it if it actually meant anything. But it’s all “and then nothing happened”.

      The big thing (and what Trump & co count on) is that — yes, it’s been years since the allegations went public. Everyone knows about the allegations and is tired of them as nothing was done at the time, and so much has happened since.

      But NOW, the evidence is all validated, so there can be legal consequences, if people still care. Thing is, people don’t care anymore, because other allegations are considered more important to address now. And the legal system isn’t set up to deal with such a high volume of investigations and cases (and Trump has done his utmost to make this situation even worse).

      Well nothing ever happens so maybe the information saturation wasn’t enough. Maybe not enough of us knew.

      More importantly though I think these kind of things need to be said often and by as many sources as possible if only for posterity. So that future generations, if there are any, will at least know what happened. Will at least know some of us were paying attention. Will at least be able to learn the truth and not just the narrative the fascist government wants them to believe.

    Wait, you mean to tell me, Trump, the guy who is known for not paying people, lying as a habit, and cheating, bankrupting casinos (not relevant i just like mentioning it), and suing everyone under the sun. That guy did something for personal gain? No way…

    Next thing they’ll uncover he had 13 year old bite his little dick as he was forcing to rape them and that he buried his victims on his golf courses…

    But take your time, there’s still Cuba and Greenland to invade first.

      Heyyy, hold your horses there zippy.

      There must be at least several years of headlines about insider trading and nepotism before we get that far.

    You can tell it’s for his own personal gain because it’s something he did.

    Ho-lee fuck. Hoarding extremely classified documents for personal profit is rat king level corruption. But most Americans won’t hear about it because the media is controlled by billionaires for whom this is business as usual. A few minor outlets will put up an article, some Dems might send strongly worded letters, and this will be forgotten when Trump says something idiotic tomorrow.

      Remember to kick thank Merrick Garland for his patheitc cowardice service to our country, dragging his feet for 2 years ordering an investigation into Trump’s actions giving him enough time to run out the clock and having “judge” Cannon protect him.
