#Trump #Indictment #News
Whos cares about trump lets worry bout the mess our president now is doing
hey i am hard working American. just curious why you like him so much
Wow. I don’t even like Trump but based on how completely biased the “justice” system is I would totally vote for him. The idea that the Clintons and Bidens would get a pass on their corruption but Trump gets persecuted for things that EVERY other former president has done is just ridiculous. You lefties and your TDS are so out of hand!!!
Weak case.
Good bye!
The pot calling the kettle black. Trump made a mistake but Biden is doing the same mistake and nothing is happening.American justice?????
What mistake.
Do I need to remind you who is POTUS and who isn’t?
Big mouth and little hands
Wow NBC is so pathetic!😂 Desperate.
And biden don’t know if he told people what documents he had or didn’t have…
The MAGATS owe the rest of us a congratulations on a job well done…we are TRiUMPhing over the evil you, as fake Christians, have allowed in our country. Just repent and say ten hail Mary’s as trumpty is convicted.
#prayforournation
What about Hunter Biden??? Let’s be fair! If Trump was a Democrat this would not be happening!
What about Hunter Biden?
No need to delegate custody to the prison system. Just share—joint custody, if you will. After all, if 45 had better supervision until now, he wouldn’t be in all this trouble.
Secret Service agents could learn to play cards and watch daytime television. They could stand in for Trump when the former president initiates a fistfight. They could mop floors and peel potatoes so as to avoid tarnishing der Führer’s reputation with grunt work. Agents would surely be willing to work in the prison garden for 25¢ per day. Donald could make deals with fellow inmates, and perhaps score big in the cigarette trade. And finally, Trump could promise hostile inmates pardons rather than be beaten up for calling them a “horrible person”.
See? Is that so hard?
Soon there’s gonna be a big civil war in USA. Between Mr Trump’s suppoters and Mr Biden administration. Russia and China maybe will use this opportunity to fund terrorist groups to make chaos in USA.
More like a really really short one. The trumpussies wouldn’t last a single day.
What happened to Trump’s unpaid rallies
What about all the documents found at Joe’s place? Will he be prosecuted too? What about Hillary and her deleted emails? Why wasn’t she prosecuted? It sure seems like a double standard. What about Obama? Has there been any investigations of him and his homes to see if he has any classified information? Why is it just Agent Orange being so zealously badgered? They are all corrupt.
Butwhatabout much?
Molesting kids is a crime too and yet biden is still in office.
Those two things have nothing to do with each other.
This starts by saying; “A devastating criminal case against him.”
Then, it ends with; “But most likely, the former president will never do any jail time.”
So, once again- a total waste of time.
I sure hope Trump wins the next election, pardons himself, and brings gas prices back to $2.00 a gallon like when he was president.
Enough of this pathetic, feeble, embarrassing Biden administration.
How many times do we have to watch this old geezer, Joe Biden, bump his head, fall down on stage, stammer, fall off his bicycle, and have a no idea where he is, or what to read from his teleprompter?
My God, it’s just so sad, but really embarrassing too. Truly stunning *anyone* voted for this geriatric dementia case.
Hey. You think I’m wrong?
Well, ask yourself, and be honest. Were gas prices low when Trump was president?
Was there a terrible war in China, North Korea, or Ukraine when Trump was president?
Are you doing better right now with Joe Biden as president, or do you feel things would be better if Trump were re-elected?
Easy questions.
Biden and Obama also have classified docs. Lock them up too
Trump needs to go to prison, and if the Secret Service has to protect him in there, so be it. But that’s still special treatment. How many times does this guy get to skate past consequences.
It’s not worth the fallout! He might have broken protocol with those documents but this is dangerous in the sense that he still has an enormous voter base that’s willing to take up arms if they feel so inclined. If it ever reached a critical mass I’m talking 10’s of millions not even the US military could contend with that sort of force unless the intention was to use lethal force against Americans, that wouldn’t happen shouldn’t happen because at that point the US would no longer be a democracy. It’s an odd reality but at any moment we could dispel with our current government write a new constitution and new laws.
The trumpussies would be annihilated very quickly.
Well scripted responses pffff
You are the bites liners.
Biden’s retained documents were all personal papers from his time in the Senate: no secret docs about nuclear secrets, spy or military plans/ids, classified doc or top secrets from Five Eyes Allies like the traitor. They were all checked!
They could just put Donnie in SuperMax. He would be in lockdown 23 hours a day.They would know where he was at all times.
Exactly. A vacancy also opened up yesterday as the Unabomber was found dead in his cell. Trump is not someone whose behavior can be corrected before being released back into society. His detention needs to be lifelong.
Trump was not caught on tape. Trump agreed to be recorded. They can’t use recordings without a person’s consent or when a person is under investigation with a warrant.
Leave Trump alone, focus on the current problem which is Biden.
The secret service will have to do their 8 hour shifts at the prison. Sounds like an easy gig to me!
Isn’t treason punished with death??
Trump is to America as Putin is to Ukraine………….
God’s will have the say
Tell the flawed cult leader and chief drifter, a new wing has been built for him, and the secret service will go as undercover as ‘security guards’ until he dies.
He’s a threat, and the government would want him contained.
He could/ should on conviction, be stripped of those privileges as he has committed unconstitutional and undemocratic acts.
Truth hurts when knowing you have been fooled.
Vindictive powerful dems have done a really good job of keeping Trump in the headlines.
Ya know? In entertainment the name of the game for fame n fortune is to keep your name n face out there, BE SEEN.
Dems have dumped on trump so much they’ve created an underdog.
We Love Underdogs!
Super Max Prison or his USSS protection is forfeited and he gets tossed into general population.
Stop Lying to us NBC!!! Not even close just like the last 25 times you tried to get him. Losers!!!
Awwwwwwwww.
Does reality hurt your little feelings, traitor?
Same Russia people!! Yaawwnn!!!!
😂😂😂 – this jadrool ?!!!!!!!!!
Riker’s for trump 😘😘😘
You people at NBC are a fake news which only serve one side, why don’t you report on the fbi colluding with democratic party not to investigate hunter and his father why don’t you report on the witch hunting that the democrats knew about again with the fbi knowledge.
Let me sum it up more honestly and clearer.
We are charging him in liberal courts with liberal juries.. he’s going to be guilty no matter what evidence or lack of evidence there is.
See faster, clearer, and more honest.
I think he’ll lose his right to his secret service detail.
How could anyone want someone who treats the countries most sensitive secrets this way running the country again?
AKA JOE BIDEN i agree no ex-president [Biden] who has docs should.
am i still here
Another Democrat scam to keep Trump from running for president. They fear him not only because they know he will do a better job but because they know that Trump will investigate every source and lead to expose Biden, his administration and democrat leadership supporter of their autocratic agenda.

“I like people who didn’t hide classified information in the shower at their golf resort”
John McCain
All imma say is we were all making more money when trump was in office. You know it, I know it. Y’all make me wanna vote for him more.
They were planted by Hilary and Hunter!!
“wouldn’t it be better to just tell them we don’t have anything here?” 🤦
Republican party work for Trump and not for American people.
Anyone who support Trump is against our Constitution and Will of the People
oh he’s going to jail, no question about that
he should charge the administration for storage…or maybe he did and they waved the invoices, that is the reason for the docs holdup.
I used to think Eddie Murphy was hilarious, he’s got nothing compared to Trump, that thing just keeps on giving,😅 I’ve been waiting since he started running for office the first time to be caught for his illegal ways, for me it was blearongly obvious that he was a phony fraudulent, narcissistic criminal.
Are these “experts” on the same level as the “trust the science” doctors during covid?
Unfortunately diplomacy can only hide behind a tyranny so long as it is financed by a kleptocracy. It’s why in the 2020 election voters “said no” to two billion-heirs.
“I can even stick them all in my Presidential Library”. “Wait, I don’t have a Presidential Library”.
The Lousy socialist democrats are just picking at my favorite President Trump!! How dare they??!!😢 Biden has done, Far, Much Worse than all of Mr. Trump’s years, put together!!!shame. Shame!!
This whole episode makes me want to vote for Trump. I didn’t vote for him last time, or the time before that, but this time I could be voting for him.
On bunch of evilness going on……
🎉TRUMP2024🎉TRUMP2024🎉
Lololololol more lies from the left
Trump is innocent. Trump 2024!
IT IS ONLY AGAINST THE LAW IF IT IS A REAL TRUE AMERICAN VERSES A REAL CRIMINAL. Clinton, Biden, and Obama…
Both Trump and Biden have squinty, beady little eyes.
Go after Biden
He could absolutely do time; there’s plenty of military bases in the desert we can lock him up at and he can keep his secret service protection in there. Maybe one of his migrant concentration camps would suffice.
How bad is the case against Trump? As soon as the Feds gave Trump’s lead lawyers, James Trusty and John Rowley, the summons to appear, Trump went on the offensive. Trump went on the internet and told the world. James Trusty hit the news media route and went on spewing political “Red Meat” to the GOP MAGA and had said nothing about the law and this was just a political vendetta. He was just trying to taint the jury pool with political nonsense. After the Trump’s lawyer’s media blitz, the Feds dropped the hammer and released the full indictment. Both his lead lawyers, James Trusty and John Rowley, quit that same day.
They need to show that security breach is a justice matter; Pence one day in prison, Biden one week in prison, Trump 10 years in prison… if they can’t do the time don’t do the crime!
Lock them up!
they’ll just have to keep him in protective custody the whole time
” Please LOCK Awful man up.” – Mel Trump
Much cheaper to put a few secret service officers in Trump’s prison cell than a gigantic team following him forever outside of jail
Conservatives Against Trumpism!
Secret service can build (find) a jail for him
Republicans can’t learn, because Republicans can’t admit they are wrong.
He’s got them eating out of his hand…, masterful…, like taking candy from a lefty
I’m soooooooooooooooooo sick of seeing this man on the news.
There is no case. This is a setup to keep him from running (a joke). The American people are not as naïve as they were several decades ago. This is Government corruption such as the U.S. has never seen until now.
@Ron Leight It is!
The judge who has already proven herself to be totally biased in the previous case involving Trump is going to handle the arraignment. This is a major concern she may deny the admission of some of the evidence or delay the trial until the election. This is insane. The Department of Justice must serve the Jan 6 the indictments including the collaborators who participated in the attempted subversion of the previous election. The collaborators remain in power in the House and Senate and are already posting military coordinates of bridges around the Florida Court. There must be a coordinated plan of response to all contingencies to prepare and prevent another violent insurrection. This is such a pivotal point in our democracy and must have a strategy of response.
And up next, Atlanta and then the J6 indictments! Hire more lawyers donny boy!! Hahaha
hey trumpists……. the evidence is overwhelming if you can read or process what you are hearing
We will support our Orange Fuhrer Jesus all the way to the modern equivalent of Sobibor and Auschwitz !.
Signed Fox TV viewers !
Plenty of “justice” for poor people. But oligarchs like Chump get donations from hoards of brainwashed fools. He’ll never go to jail because…$$$.
Oh he better go to prison…. Ain’t no way he should get out of that
Try Wait….. *”I din du nuffin…..”* Ima victim, Oy Vey!
45 needs to go away!
Democrats are demons in ill-fitting human skin suits.
To get to Trump you will need to go through me and 79 million others that believe in the second amendment. This is a public service announcement not a threat.
There’s nothing to this case, nothing it’s FBi BS…
Exposed Navy Seals
Revealed CIA operatives
FUBAR
SNAFU
A human minefield of CHAOS and DECEPTION
Jeffery Epstein lives
Another witch hunt
We will support our Orange Fuhrer Jesus all the way to the modern equivalent of Sobibor and Auschwitz !
Signed Fox TV viewers.
Surely frump’s secret service protection should be forfeited, should he be found guilty of espionage and treachery. He does not qualify after committing such dreadful acts. Would anyone else be mollycoddled for treason? NO.
Trump is toast
Witch Hunt= I have no way to disprove this accusation
if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck….?
So, an American president or former president can break any law they like and never have to worry about going to jail? What a messed-up country.
