As we reported earlier, Special Counsel Jack Smith dropped another indictment on former President Donald Trump, charging him with three counts of conspiracy and one count of obstruction on Tuesday.
At this point, it’s getting a little ridiculous and frankly, transparent, as to how hard the Biden administration seems to be working to try to take Trump out of the race with lawfare and indictments.
Fox News’ Bret Baier shared how Republicans are describing the indictment for what it is: Democrats looking at a box of chocolates, trying to figure out what was the best box of chocolates to “prevent him from becoming president again.” That’s hitting the nail

God love ‘em. They can “rip apart” all day long.
The charges and subsequent indictments bear no resemblance to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in these (formerly) United States of America.
The one and ONLY goal: remove PDJT from the public square. If it takes indicting him for eating a ham sandwich, so be it.

Even us non-lawyers can recognize a lynch mob when we see it. The DOJ now stands for Department of Jokes.

What’s going on with this lawless government is exactly why the Second Amendment was created in the first place!

"Flawed" = FRAUD for political purposes.
Smith is a scum, and has previously done a political hit job on the governor of Virginia - and all his fake crap was tossed out by the SCOTUS, but the gov. was smeared effectively and lost.
I think now, we know that Smith is a fraud, and his "indictments" aren't worth the paper that they are written on.

Maybe I'm not seeing something everyone else is, but I think Jack Smith laid a big egg. If the charges are President Trump lied about the election being stolen from him, does that not open up to the defense to present evidence that the election was indeed stolen? To my mind, the basis of the charges expose the prosecution to having the whole sordid story being told in open court and President Trump being exonerated.

I hope this constant drive to get Trump backfiles big time in 2024. People are fed up with Garland's two-tier justice system.

#6, this is where Donald Trump can make lemonade out of lemons and we all know that Special Counsel Jack Smith, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clintons are all lemons.

Garland DGAF about the law. Garland writes his own law. It's who is in power who interprets the law. It's the law of the lawless.

By the way, right now I am reading in my Bible about Saul being made king. The parallels are mind boggling. Just a little history because at that point in time, Israel wanted a king (for the wrong reasons) and God obliged. Saul became king and things swirled out of control.
In my statement above, I referenced Jack Smith, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton. They are all Saul. They all love the power that comes with the office and absolutely hate turning over the reins to Donald Trump. 2016, 2020, or 2024 it doesn't matter - time is all the same to these people.
If you haven't read about Saul and David in the Bible, please do so. You will start to see the similarities of what we are confronted with today.

My last comment. Trump supporters are going to HAVE to keep their cool. Let the Democrats step in their own because I firmly believe God will not be mocked.

Trying too hard, for sure. Making the corrupt Dems look really bad. You would think they wouldn’t give Smith any face time. He’s a gruesome dude, crooked teeth and all. I can see why Trump describes him as deranged. He’s the kind of guy you might run into in a dark alley at 2 AM.

My concern over this lawlessness grows everyday. Sure, we may all know these are bogus charges meant to remove President Trump from running, but this must be taken seriously. Can you imagine the turmoil in this country if Smith succeeds? Americans will be livid. Are democrats pushing us into the complete chaos of a civil war? Do they honestly believe they can spin this in their favor? It is obvious that democrats have a plan to destroy PDT through these series of lawsuits. It is actually becoming ridiculous with the blatant corruption by the Biden family coming to light and yet being totally ignored. Americans are fair minded people and there is coming a tipping point. How long can we sit back and watch justice being destroyed because democrats have no other pathway to retain power? If we cannot stop this abuse, no one will be safe from this lawless government. This is not politics as usual. Democrats are using a scorched earth strategy to destroy their political rival and they may start a fire they cannot put out.

What President Trump is being wrongly persecuted for is exactly what the filthy democrat sewage have actually been doing for the last 7 years, almost verbatim. It can't get any more surreal than this.

We know what the indictments are, but remember this.
They ARE indictments and he will have to face a picked jury of Never-Trumpers and it is possible that he will be found guilty.

Today’s Democrat Party - and their goals and tactics - is horrific. They’ve gotten by with malfeasance and overt and covert criminal behavior, and apparently believe they have the right to rule over us all, and punish those who do not conform. It will only get worse if they are not stopped. Those who are ‘on the front lines’ such as these two brilliant, patriotic Americans, have my boundless thanks and appreciation. Freedom is a gift - paid for by the blood, sweat and tears of so many. We cannot and must not let it be taken away from us.

Replying to #s 6 & 16:
We can hope that these ridiculous, exaggerated allegations and charges open the door to allowing Donald Trump to prove that January 6 was not what the dems and media have been saying it was. However, remember that a corrupt judge in a Washington D.C. trial can exclude all such evidence as "extraneous" and "irrelevant" to the charges and keep the jury from hearing it. Remember how Federal District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan refused to dismiss the General Flynn prosecution even after the prosecution filed for dismissal--after it was shown that the General Flynn interview by the FBI was a set-up ordered by Comey to try and catch Sullivan in a perjury trap. Everyone wanted General Flynn to be proven not guilty and the case dismissed, but Judge Sullivan wouldn't do it--so President Trump had to pardon him to put that particular clown show to rest.
And don't forget that even John Durham's team was unable to win a conviction against the scummy Perkins, Coie attorney who committed crimes on behalf of the DNC and the Hillary campaign. That's what happens when you have a stupid, Washington D.C. jury pool of 90+% ignorant Washington democrat lemmings.

Question: How is it a false claim/ statement if I believe my position and have evidence of same. If that is criminal, then we do truly have "thought crimes." Consider how efforts are being made to criminalize "misspeak" such as using a wrong pronoun, concocting innocuous words as racist, etc. We are walking a very fine line.

Jesus Christ was put through six illegal trials by the Sanhedrin before being handed over to the Romans for execution. It was customary for Rome's Judaean Procurators to release one prisoner in observance of the Jewish Passover. When Pontius Pilate asked the crowd whom they wanted, they chose the vile murdering thief, Barabbas. Jesus, the man who had never committed a single sin His entire life, who spoke only Truth to the masses, was condemned to death by proxy of ruling Roman elites. Criminalizing Truth, while accepting murderers and thieves marked the end-time for the Judeans. Thirty-eight years later, Jerusalem would be sacked by the Romans, and nothing would be left of the Jewish Temple, as prophesied of the One they put to death.
Donald Trump has done nothing wrong. He has committed no crime, yet he has been "tried" by Special Counsels, Congressional Committees, Civil Courts, and continuously within the Mainstream "Mockingbird" Media. He has been Impeached more times by Congress than any President, yet he remains more popular than ever with the American people. Time and time again, his antagonists wind up with nothing. Leaving him alone is not an option, because he commits the most heinous crime to aspiring tyrants, which is to speak truth.
Yet the most despicable, dishonorable, thieving, traitor in American history is coddled by DC Uni-Party elitists, while Donald Trump is being beaten, whipped, and scourged, by Justice Department proxy "legal goons" and hyper-partisan judges acting as the Pharisees of the new religion. The American Left has spoken with one voice, "Give us, Biden!"
Unlike historic Judea, the "Great Experiment" that has been the United States, will not survive another thirty years, and might not be around to see the year 2030.

So what? Poorly crafted indictments and specious legal arguments. Big deal.
When you got the judges making the rulings in your favor, who cares?
Trump would be better off being tried in Iran, Venezula, North Korea, Russia or China than in DC or NY. At least they'd actually try to be fair. And hey, in North Korea, I'm certain Trump could get a friendly judge.

So what is the end game? Smith cannot allow discovery, so they will have to "neutralize" President Trump before the proceedings on this sham (and they are all sham) indictment can proceed.

This quote was ripped straight from the top of the heap on Google just now. ''In 2015, Mr Smith accepted a post with the federal prosecutor's office in Nashville, Tennessee, so he could be closer to family. He left in 2017 for a private health care company after being passed over for a permanent appointment under the Trump administration.'' (22 hours ago//Google.com) I thought he smelled familiar.

If the standard is a "trial by a jury of his peers," I'm just wondering how many actual peers of DJT may be in a jury pool from inner city DC....
