BREAKING: Mayor Adams Indictment Unsealed
Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted on federal charges of bribery conspiracy, fraud and soliciting illegal foreign campaign donations, according to a bombshell federal indictment unsealed by Manhattan prosecutors Thursday.
The five-count indictment — the first against a sitting New York City mayor — details for the first time the charges against Hizzoner after he was indicted by a grand jury as part of a long-running federal probe that’s ensnared a number of his closest allies and aides.
“Eric Adams the defendant, sought and accepted illegal campaign contributions in the form of “nominee” or “straw” contributions, meaning that the true contributors conveyed their money through nominal donors, who falsely certified they were contributing their own money,” the indictment said.
“By smuggling their contributions to Adams through U.S.-based straw donors, Adam’s overseas contributors defeated federal laws that serve to prevent foreign influence on U.S. elections.” 🤔

"A New York grand jury has indicted Donald Trump on allegations linked to a business records investigation related to a "hush money" payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Trump is the first former president in U.S. history to face criminal charges. His attorney Susan Necheles confirmed the indictment. No other details have been released yet.
The specific charge or charges have not yet been made public, and one Trump attorney told CBS News his legal team is "still waiting to learn" details of the indictment.
Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg's office said in a statement that it had contacted Trump's attorney "to coordinate his surrender to the Manhattan D.A.'s office for arraignment on a Supreme Court indictment, which remains under seal," and more guidance would be provided "when the arraignment date is selected." ...
The case stems from a payment made just days before Trump was elected president in 2016. His former attorney, Michael Cohen, arranged a $130,000 wire transfer to Daniels to buy her silence about an alleged affair...
The indictment comes as Trump faces other potential criminal cases. In Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis is mulling charges in an investigation into alleged efforts by Trump and more than a dozen of his allies to undermine [Georgia]'s results in the 2020 election, which he lost to President Joe Biden. A special purpose grand jury conducted a six-month probe last year and delivered a report with its findings to Willis in January. The majority of that report was ordered sealed, at least until charging decisions are made.
In Washington, D.C., special counsel Jack Smith is overseeing two Justice Department investigations into alleged efforts to interfere with the lawful transfer of power following the 2020 presidential election, and Trump's handling of sensitive government documents [note: specifically top secret, classified documents] found at his Mar-a-Lago home and possible obstruction of efforts to retrieve them."
-via CBS News, 3/30/23
TRUMP'S BEEN INDICTED
And by the way he is going to have to surrender himself to the Manhattan DA's office...
Where he will be arrested, fingerprinted, and have his mug shot taken.
(Obviously/sadly he's going to be released instead of held in jail until trial, but STILL)

And so it begins . . . CNN treats Trump like an ordinary presidential candidate.
CNN will sponsor a “town hall” in New Hampshire next week at which Republican voters will have the opportunity to ask questions of Donald Trump. See HuffPost, CNN rolls out the red carpet for Trump. Per HuffPo,
The event, scheduled for May 10 at St. Anselm’s College in Goffstown, New Hampshire, will be televised at 9 p.m. Eastern. Kaitlan Collins will moderate. Trump will take questions from Republicans and undeclared voters who are planning to participate in the 2024 GOP primary.
CNN will thus provide a ‘Trump-friendly’ audience and a moderator who began her career at The Daily Caller—a media website founded and owned by Tucker Carlson (until 2020).
Media companies should, of course, cover the news relating to Trump's candidacy for the 2024 nomination. And it is within the accepted traditions of networks and cable companies to host town-hall-style interviews with presidential candidates. But Trump is not merely a presidential candidate. He is a former president who attempted a coup and incited an insurrection. He attempted to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. He stands credibly accused of rape in an ongoing trial in federal court. He has admitted to removing and retaining classified documents relating to the national defense. He routinely issues misogynistic, racist, and anti-LGBTQ slurs for which he is given a pass by the media.
No responsible media organization should act as a neutral observer of Trump's political career, much less as a public relations surrogate for Trump--as is CNN by hosting a friendly “town hall.” It is particularly inappropriate for CNN to do so as special counsel Jack Smith and District Attorney Fani Willis present evidence to sitting grand juries regarding Trump's interference in the 2020 election. And let’s not forget that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has indicted Trump for concealing hush-money payments designed to change the outcome of the 2020 election.
Of course, it is possible that CNN’s Kaitlan Collins will ask Trump if he raped E. Jean Collins, if he stole defense secrets, if he attempted a coup, and if he tried to interfere in Georgia’s 2020 election. Possible but not likely. Trump would not have agreed to an appearance on a network he routinely attacked as “fake news” unless he received assurances that he would not be asked hard questions by Kaitlan Collins.
CNN has decided to treat Trump as if he is like any other presidential candidate. That is a dangerous mistake—as explained by Dan Rather’s Substack publication, Steady, The Danger of "Horse Race" Politics. As Dan Rather and Eliot Kirschner explain, it is irresponsible of the media to reduce the 2024 presidential campaign to a “horserace” in which the only relevant factor is “Who is ahead in the polls?” Per Rather and Kirchner,
When you cover politics like a horse race, it becomes logical for Donald Trump to be the frontrunner for a third Republican presidential nomination.
A horse race confers an equivalence upon all candidates. The only detail that matters is who is going to win — not all that might be lost. To view America through that lens today is an exercise in the absurd, a practice stuck in the insular logic of the past.
CNN has left the building. It is in the business of treating the 2024 presidential race as entertainment. CNN should no longer be counted among legitimate news organizations. Any journalist who remains at CNN is lending their good name to Trump. CNN is a weak competitor in the news ecosystem and is desperate for viewers—which is why it is hosting a PR event for Trump. Don’t add legitimacy (or viewership) to CNN as it attempts to convert itself into a Trump mouthpiece.

Nothing to Bragg About
"Bragg, the first black Manhattan DA, grew up in Harlem but on one of the safest blocks around, an upper middle-class enclave of brownstones known as Strivers Row, and since age 4 commuted to the elite Trinity School on Manhattan's Upper West Side - details he conveniently leaves out when he makes his case."
"At least a dozen lawyers have quit Bragg's office in the first two weeks of Bragg's term.' He wants to get rid of all the senior people who prosecuted high-profile cases and replace them with young inexperienced people who think like him and don't want to uphold the law,' said one former prosecutor."

NYC is Gothem City. It was never my favorite place to visit because of the rats and the grime. I did however enjoy day trips for special shows, food, or for a conference. Those days are long gone because like Chicago, NYC is not safe. People like George Soros are deliberately invested in urbicide: widespread and deliberate destruction of the urban environment. He uses crooks like Alvin Bragg as the faces for all the dirty work, and unfortunately Bragg is too blinded by greed to see that he's just a tool. I've seen a few posts that highlight Bragg's skin colour. Yes, he is black but skin colour is not what makes him a crooked cop. It's his character. He's a greedy tool blinded by absolute power which corrupts absolutely.

"In every disaster throughout American history, there always seems to be a man from Harvard in the middle of it."-Thomas Sowell
Controversial woke Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg is seeing a mass resignation from his prosecutors over his soft-on-crime policies.
Bragg has spent most of his first month in office under fire over his approach, which include calling on prosecutors to ditch felony armed robbery charges and instead charge suspects with petit larceny and not seeking carceral sentences for criminals.
At least a dozen lawyers have quit Bragg's office in the first two weeks of Bragg's term.
'I know one [ADA] who was with the office over 20 years who left without a job,' a law enforcement source told the New York Post. 'They didn't want to work in this kind of office. They wanted to continue prosecuting the law.'
Perhaps the most high profile departure is Joan Illuzzi-Orbon, who successfully prosecuted sex pest Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.
Illuzi-Orbon had been in the Manhattan DA's office since 1988, save for a leave in 2015 when she unsuccessfully ran as a Republican for District Attorney of Staten Island.
John Irwin, formerly a trial division chief, is among the other quitters, while a veteran prosecutor was told she was being demoted and would have to work under a hire Bragg made from the nonprofit Legal Aid Society.
'He wants to get rid of all the senior people who prosecuted high-profile cases and replace them with young inexperienced people who think like him and don't want to uphold the law,' said one former prosecutor.
All of the departures are cases of prosecutors quitting, as Bragg has yet to fire anyone.
Bragg, the first black Manhattan DA, grew up in Harlem but on one of the safest blocks around, an upper middle-class enclave of brownstones known as Strivers Row, and since age 4 commuted to the elite Trinity School on Manhattan's Upper West Side - details he conveniently leaves out when he makes his case.
Drug dealers will not be prosecuted for felony crimes unless they commit other offenses on top of drug dealing, and prison should be a 'last resort' - despite the mounting number of violent crimes being committed on the streets of New York by repeat offenders who have been let out of jail early.
NYPD unions, New York Republicans and angry residents were left dumbfounded amid growing fears that the crime-ravaged city will experience the same fate as other progressive-run bastions on the West Coast that have been plagued by looting and lawlessness.
The Police Benevolent Association president Patrick J. Lynch, who leads the nearly 24,000-member union, said that has 'serious concerns' over the new policies.
'Police officers don't want to be sent out to enforce laws that the district attorneys won't prosecute.
'There are already too many people who believe that they can commit crimes, resist arrest, interfere with police officers and face zero consequences.'Under Bragg's new soft-on-crime approach, robberies are directed to be prosecuted as petit larceny if no victim was wounded and there was 'no risk of physical harm'.
However, the manager of the Duane Reade said that she feared for her life and didn't want to go back to work, according to the New York Post.
Former Bronx prosecutor and defense lawyer Michael Discioarro said that Bragg is doing a huge disservice to this woman.
'He just ignored the victim,' Manhattan defense lawyer Michael Discioarro said of Bragg. 'He's telling the victim: You don't deserve protection from the state.'
Meanwhile, prostitution, turnstile jumping, weapons possession (of non-firearms) and marijuana possession won't be prosecuted at all under Bragg.
A former Manhattan DA called Bragg's policies 'an affront to every law-abiding citizen.'
'Violent criminals now have carte blanche to re-offend, knowing full well that they will never again sniff the inside of a jail cell,' added former Manhattan assistant DA Daniel Ollen
'If you thought things couldn't get any worse, think again. God help us.'
Bragg was elected Manhattan DA in November after winning a crowded primary in June.

Former President Donald Trump is facing 34 felony charges related to hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has made history by bringing criminal charges against a former American president, and Trump is expected to appear in court soon. The charges are not yet publicly known, but Trump vehemently denies any wrongdoing and has accused Bragg of illegally leaking details of the indictment against him. Trump also claims that the indictment is politically motivated and part of a "witch-hunt" against him by the Radical Left Democrats.

What does Donald Trump indictment means?
What are the legal consequences for Donald Trump? On February 23, 2022, in Manhattan, New York, a grand jury charged former US President Donald Trump with crimes. The indictment is the result of a two-year investigation into Trump's business practises and financial dealings. The grand jury has charged Trump with multiple counts of fraud, avoiding taxes, and working with others to do these things. The recent charges against former President Donald Trump and his team have sent shockwaves through the political world. There are accusations of money laundering, fraud, and blocking the work of the law. A thorough investigation, which included interviews with key witnesses and examination of financial records, uncovered evidence to support the charges. The charge against Donald Trump is long and full of details. There are charges of tax fraud, bank fraud, wire fraud, and working with others to do these crimes. The grand jury has said that Trump used his businesses to avoid paying taxes, boost his net worth, and get loans by lying about his finances. In addition to these accusations, the grand jury has also said that Trump tried to stop the law from being done. The indictment alleges that Trump used his position of power to intimidate witnesses, destroy evidence, and otherwise obstruct the investigation into his activities. Implications for Trump and his Team If Donald Trump is found guilty, he could face serious legal consequences. The charges against him could put him in jail for up to 15 years. Also, if Trump is found guilty of any of the tax fraud charges, he could have to pay back taxes and penalties that could add up to millions of dollars. But it's important to remember that being charged is not the same as being convicted. Trump will have the chance to defend himself in court against the charges, and it will be up to the prosecution to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he is guilty. Implications for the American People The indictment shows how important it is to hold public officials accountable for their actions and make sure that people in power don't use their positions to make money for themselves. It also shows how important it is for our political system to be open and honest. The people of the United States have a right to know that their elected officials are working for them and not for their own benefit. The Future of Trump and his Team It is still too early to tell what the outcome of the indictment will be. Trump and his team will probably have a strong defence, and the legal process could take a long time. However, the indictment is a significant development in the ongoing investigations into Trump's actions, and its ultimate impact on his future remains uncertain. FAQ’s What might happen if Trump and his team are found to be guilty? A: If they are found guilty, they could get big fines, time in jail, and other punishments. The indictment could also hurt Trump's reputation and legacy and hurt his chances of running for office in the future. What are the implications of the indictment for the American people? A: The indictment shows how important it is to hold public officials accountable for their actions and make sure that those in power don't use their positions for their own benefit. It also shows how important it is for our political system to be open and honest. What is the future of Trump and his team following the indictment? A: It's too soon to say what will happen with the indictment. Trump and his team will definitely put up a strong defence, and the court case could take months or even years to finish. Nevertheless, the indictment represents a significant turning point in the ongoing investigations into Trump's actions, and its ultimate impact on his future is uncertain. What does the indictment mean for the investigations into Trump's actions that are still going on? A: The indictment is a major turning point in the investigations into Trump's actions that are still going on. It is likely to lead to more scrutiny and could uncover further evidence of illegal activities. How long could it take to go through the legal process? A: It is difficult to predict how long the legal process could take. It may take months or even years to reach a conclusion. Why is transparency important in the political system? A: In the political system, transparency is important to make sure that public officials act in the best interests of the American people and not for their own personal gain. It helps to build trust and keep people responsible. Will the indictment change anything about politics in general? A: The indictment could have an effect on politics in general, especially if it finds more evidence of illegal activities. It could also influence public opinion and political discourse. How will Trump and his team react to the charges against him? A: Trump and his team are likely to put up a strong defence and say they did nothing wrong. They might also try to make people doubt the investigation and the evidence that was brought up. Q: How could the indictment impact Trump's legacy? A: If Trump is found guilty of the charges, the indictment could hurt his reputation and legacy. It could also impact his future political aspirations, depending on the outcome of the legal process. What does the indictment mean when it comes to the rule of law? A: The indictment is important for the rule of law because it shows that nobody is above the law, not even those in power. It demonstrates that the justice system is willing to hold public officials accountable for their actions. Will the indictment change the people who support Trump? A: It's hard to say how the indictment will affect Trump's supporters. Some may continue to support him regardless, while others may change their opinion depending on the outcome of the legal process. How can the people of the United States make sure that public officials are held responsible for what they do? A: The American people can make sure that public officials are held accountable for their actions by taking part in the political process and holding their elected officials accountable. They can also support organisations that promote transparency and good governance. Is this the first time Trump has faced legal challenges? A: No, Trump has been in trouble with the law before. For example, his business practises and possible ties to Russia have been looked into. The case against Trump: Accountability: The indictment makes Trump answerable for any illegal things he may have done. It also shows that no one is above the law, no matter how powerful they are. Transparency: The indictment highlights the need for transparency and honesty in the political system and serves as a reminder that public officials should act in the best interests of the American people. Justice: The indictment shows that the justice system is willing to look into people who may have broken the law and bring them to court. This is an important part of a fair and just society. Cons of the Indictment of Trump: Political Polarization: The indictment could make the already divided political scene even more polarised and widen the gaps between the parties. Legal Process: The legal process could take months or even years to complete, leading to ongoing uncertainty and speculation. Effects on Trump: The indictment could hurt Trump's reputation and legacy, which could hurt his future business and political goals. Effect on Country: The indictment could also be bad for the country as a whole because it could take attention away from more important issues and cause more trouble in the political world. The charges of money laundering, fraud, and obstructing justice against former President Donald Trump and his team are big news for both Trump and the rest of the country. The indictment is a major turning point in the investigations into Trump's actions that are still going on. The charges, if found guilty, could have significant legal and financial consequences, including fines, imprisonment, and other penalties. Additionally, the indictment could tarnish his reputation and legacy, potentially impacting his future political aspirations and business interests. For the American people, the indictment highlights the importance of holding public officials accountable for their actions and ensuring that those in positions of power do not misuse it for personal gain. It also stresses that the political system needs to be open and honest. The indictment shows that the justice system is willing to look into people who may have broken the law and bring them to court. This is an important part of a fair and just society. However, there are also potential downsides to the indictment. The legal process could take months or even years to complete, leading to ongoing uncertainty and speculation. The indictment could make things even more polarised and divide people even more along party lines. It could also be bad for the country as a whole because it could take attention away from more important issues and cause more trouble in the political world. Ultimately, the impact of the indictment on Trump and the country as a whole is uncertain. The legal process will take time, and it's not clear what will happen. It is also difficult to predict how Trump's support base will react to the indictment and what the long-term impact will be on his political future. What is clear is that the indictment highlights the need for transparency and accountability in the political system. It also shows that no one is above the law, not even those in power. To make sure our democracy stays strong and alive, the American people must continue to take part in politics and hold their elected officials accountable. Read the full article

Harvey Weinstein indicted on new charges in New York
A Manhattan grand jury has indicted Harvey Weinstein on new charges, including sexual assault allegations from three women. The indictment will remain sealed until Weinstein is arraigned. Prosecutors began presenting the case to the grand jury in mid-August and did not identify the three accusers by name. Weinstein was not present at the hearing due to his heart procedure. The indictment details the allegations from Weinstein. A new indictment against Weinstein has been filed, involving allegations of sexual assaults by three women. The allegations are tied to the charges Weinstein is set to be retried on in November. The new indictment is not tied to the allegations of sexual assaults by Jessica Mann and Mimi Haley, who are related to the charges Weinstein is set to face. However, Weinstein's defense opposes the move. Weinstein, is currently in prison awaiting an appeal of a 2022 conviction in Los Angeles for three sexual assault charges. He was previously convicted in 2020 for first-degree criminal sexual act and third-degree rape, but his conviction was overturned on appeal in April. Read the full article

The Legality Of Indicting A Former President
By Ashley Carrasquillo, Mercy College Class of 2025
April 9, 2023
On Thursday, March 30, 2023, news of former President Donald Trump’s indictment was released.
A New York grand jury had voted to indict Trump after he allegedly paid money to cover up an adult film actor, Stormy Daniels, during his 2016 presidential campaign.
The charges against Trump are unknown at this time.
Trump would need to be arraigned in person and his indictment would be unsealed on that day. During his arraignment Trump would have to come in for photographs, paperwork, and to have his fingerprints done and enter a plea. All of which is a grueling process.
It has been continuously stated that the justice system should treat a former president as they would any other defendant. Indicating that Trump will most likely go through the similar steps of an arraignment.
The arraignment process will happen behind the scenes instead of going before a judge to hear the charges and enter a plea.
Two of Trump’s lawyers have stated that he will not be handcuffed and plans to enter a not guilty plea.
There are many legal questions that are being raised due to Trump’s presidential status. However, he is entitled to the same due process as citizens. There are plenty of procedural and constitutional protections that are in place to ensure it is fair.
As the indictment progresses, there are 34 felonies against Trump for falsifying business records that falsify campaign finance law.
Through this, Manhattan prosecutors have alleged that Trump concealed payments and labeled them as legal expenses. By this prosecutors believe that Trump violated a New York law, specifically a corporate record keeping law and campaign finance laws.
The Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, had released a 14-page statement of facts that had the case described in greater detail.
Following the arraignment, it was wondered how Bragg would bring the charges as felonies as the main case was a misdemeanor although could become a felony if the falsified records for a separate crime.
Included in the charges is a strange tax claim. In the statement of facts from Bragg there is a claim that Trump and his associates took part in deception to New York by paying more taxes than owed.
Another charge had to do with business records. A New York law requires that the falsification of records and each count claims that Trump falsified records that were maintained by the Trump Organization. The main question going into this is if the documents that were passed to or handed by the Trump Organization are viewed as classified by business records even if it was through Trump’s personal accounts.
In a statement from Bragg he mentioned that each of the checks was processed by the Trump Organization. Two of the checks were approved by a Trump Organization chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, who had pleaded guilty to tax evasion charges in 2021 not relating to this.
Trump’s next scheduled court appearance is months away as the judicial system plays its course. The indictment is being closely followed through this historic event.

The biden regime is coming after President Trump and all those who oppose the regime.
So they WERE wanting it to take place on Friday for the maximum weekend coverage.
Manhattan’s DA wanted a Friday Trump arrest. Trump’s team said no.
The Manhattan district attorney’s office asked for Donald Trump to surrender on Friday following a grand jury’s vote to indict the former president.
But lawyers for Trump rebuffed the request saying that the Secret Service, which provides security detail for the former president, needed more time to prepare.
The exchange, which was relayed to POLITICO by a law-enforcement source and confirmed by Joe Tacopina, a lawyer for the former president, underscores the extremely delicate, unprecedented nature of the indictment.
Until Thursday, no ex-president in history had been criminally charged. And both the charges itself and the application of them have placed the country on uncharted legal and political terrain.
Captain Convey Note
"Uncharted legal terrian" - what does this mean?
It means the DA in NY has made up another false charge against President Trump for the sole purpose of trying to keep him off the ballot in 2024.
The corrupt DA in NY along with the biden regime will do anything and I mean anything to keep President Trump off the ballot in 2024.
Why?
Because nothing would or could stop President Trump from winning a second term as a Real President of the United States.
The biden regime an the NY DA must try to keep President Trump off the ballot at all costs.
Presdient Trump was so right when he said, there not just coming after me there coming after you.
The biden regime will do anything to stay in power.
We The People must support President Trump in everyway we can.
This means resisting the biden regime and their efforts to destroy America and our freedom of speech, monetary system culture and cival liberties etc.
The joe biden regime and most of congress is totally corrupt!
If We The People don't resist the joe biden regime our freedoms will be lost and the control of the biden regime democrate dictatorship will be sealed for the future.
President Trump said:
"Just never quit".
He means never give up.
Keep praying and resisting the efforts of the biden regime and the corrupt congress to force us to live under a total dictatorship in the future.

[from “Today’s Edition”]
New details strongly support criminal exposure for Trump in Mar-a-Lago documents case.
The media is being flooded with “exclusive” tips about Trump's impending indictment in the Mar-a-Lago documents case. The source of the leaks may be Trump and his advisors, who routinely leak bad news in advance of public disclosures to take the sting out of the negative developments. On Thursday, Bloomberg News reported that
Special Counsel Jack Smith is wrapping up his investigation into former president Donald Trump’s refusal to return classified documents after his election defeat and is poised to announce possible criminal charges in the days or weeks after Memorial Day, according to people familiar with the matter.
That revelation is consistent with the ham-fisted letter Trump sent to Merrick Garland earlier in the week demanding a meeting to discuss the investigation by Jack Smith. Such meetings are routine before indictments issue. So, there is a good chance Trump has been told he will be indicted soon and has been given the opportunity to dissuade Jack Smith from seeking an indictment.
But revelations today in the Washington Post suggest that Jack Smith has a strong case against Trump for unlawfully retaining national defense documents and obstruction of justice. The Post reported that Trump employees moved classified documents out of a storage room after receiving a grand jury subpoena and then moved them back into the same storage room a day before telling the FBI it could view the documents. See WaPo, Trump workers moved Mar-a-Lago boxes a day before FBI came for documents. (This article is accessible to everyone.)
The implication of the Post story is this: Trump took boxes of documents out of the storage room after receiving the subpoena, selectively removed documents, and then returned the boxes to the storage room to deceive the FBI about what documents Trump had in his possession. That inference is supported by the fact that when the FBI later obtained a search warrant, it found approximately 100 classified documents remaining at Mar-a-Lago.
Separately, the NYTimes reported on disclosures from a sealed order by Judge Beryl Howell, who ruled on the DOJ’s claim that communications by Trump's attorneys fell within the crime-fraud exception to privilege (and could therefore by reviewed by the DOJ). See NYTimes, Mar-a-Lago Worker Provided Prosecutors New Details in Trump Documents Case. It appears that an anonymous source read the sealed order to a reporter for the NYTimes.
Judge Howell’s order stated:
The government has proffered sufficient evidence that the former president possessed tangible documents containing national defense information [and] failed to deliver those documents to an officer entitled to receive them.
Notably, no excuse is provided as to how the former president could miss the classified-marked documents found in his own bedroom at Mar-a-Lago.
Other evidence demonstrates that the former president willfully sought to retain classified documents when he was not authorized to do so, and knew it.
To recap: Trump reviewed the documents in his possession; selectively retained some of them; arranged for his lawyers to falsely tell the FBI that all documents had been returned; and when the FBI (and a private security firm) later searched Mar-a-Lago, classified documents were found in his desk and bedroom. There is no credible, innocent explanation for those facts.
If Jack Smith secures an indictment of Trump in the next few weeks for espionage and obstruction of justice, Trump will again lose control over his fate—as he has in the Manhattan trial over his hush-money payments. Most importantly, the DOJ will protect the rule of law and the Constitution, both of which Trump has attacked and mocked.
An indictment for espionage and obstruction of justice will be significant and historically important. The indictment should be welcomed by all Americans whose faith in our system of justice has been undermined by Trump's apparent ability to evade accountability. But it is not enough.
Trump attempted to prevent the peaceful transfer of power as commanded by the Constitution and the will of the people. Indicting Trump for espionage is appropriate. Indicting Trump for attempting a coup is necessary.

A Very Abridged History Of Political Legal Trouble
A grand jury in Manhattan has voted to indicate former President Trump this Thursday, an unquestionably historical affair. The concept of a president facing legal danger displays a shift in the precedent surrounding the criminality of the head of the Executive Branch. To many, this showcases an apparent change ahead in US politics. There is no way to know what the future will entail regarding this case, but we can look at previous political crimes. It's necessary to note that Donald Trump is the first President to be formally indicted but not the first politician to face criminal charges. This essay details the story of several of these politicians and the gentle fall to corruption many of these politicians have encountered as a result of their political careers. Some of these politicians haven’t touched corruption. Some even have charges that have nothing to do with their political careers. Still, it is crucial to be aware of these figures to understand the current situation regarding the Indicate of the former President.
One of the foremost known politicians to get indicted for his crimes was Matthew Lyon, an Irish-born Representative representing the State of Kentucky. Lyon represented the Democratic-Republican party, staying in line with the political party's Southern roots with a resounding opposition to big government. Matthew Lyon prided himself on these values and acquired a profound resentment for the Federalists, whom he believed had pro-British sympathies. The introduction of the Alien and Sedition Acts created further tensions between these two groups due to the Acts allowing the government to have immense control over its people. These Acts were backed by the Federalists including the most influential Federalist, President Adams. Lyon detested these acts and considered these acts as oppressive and authoritative. He would write several letters decrying Adams's actions and expressing his beliefs against these acts. These efforts would go directly against the Acts that Lyons was opposing, leading him to get arrested on treason charges. Lyon harbored a prior history of acting out against Federalists, a notable incident occurring when Lyons spat on a fellow Representative (Roger Griswold) during a debate about whether or not to remove William Blount from the House due to suspected treason. Despite being in Jail, Representative Lyons gained further support and won the following election in a landslide. Under President Jefferson's administration, these acts would expire, and those affected by these Acts would be pardoned or refunded depending on their punishment. This example portrays an individual who chose to speak out against a government that had overreached its powers and paid the price. This would not become the standard as the country propelled onward with its history.
The introduction of deep corruption with actual arrests began around the Presidency of Theodore Roosevelt, having politicians with much more drastic offenses that didn’t just correlate to insignificant forgery and bribes. These criminalities would progressively get more extreme, and a prominent example of the variety of Land Grant frauds from Senator Mitchel, who allowed land grants in the State of Oregon to be illegally obtained with his help. While Senator Mitchel is not the only Senator who was involved in this, he was the one who took much of the fall during the trial as a high-profile Senator from the State of Oregon. These crimes display an essence of corruption that had been festering, and the opportunity to make money felt like an ok exchange for morality. This wouldn’t change, William Lorimer was known as the “blond boss of Chicago” and worked in the House during the Taft Administration. He was arrested for accepting bribes ($1,000 in 1910 an estimated $31,667.37 today) for a vote for a Senator. Lorimer was never arrested but was expelled from the House, but this did set a precedent surrounding the corruption seen with indirect voting for Senators. These acts led to the passage of the Seventeenth Amendment, allowing Citizens to vote directly for their Senators. Many Presidential administrations would become known for their rings of corruption, President Grant would be known for his corruption in his cabinet, and Truman’s administration also faced a variety of accusations of deep corruption. This corruption wouldn’t stop and arguably hasn’t. Upon looking at a list of all the corruption seen in government, it becomes clear that the arrests get progressively more frequent around the Nixon administration. While actions have been taken to contain criminality, corruption breeds in the beds of power. This corruption was seen in the pursuit of power, and is obviously because of the closest we’ve gotten to a presidential indictment before this moment- The Watergate Scandal.
The Watergate Scandal displays a turning point in what is allowed and what will be prosecuted. What will be shamed? Those indicted for the actions of Watergate include John N. Mitchell, Egil Krogh, Richard Kleindienst, Dwight Chapin, H. R. Haldeman, John Ehrlichman, and a variety of others who committed a medley of offenses. Of these crimes, perjury, and obstruction of justice were the most considerable offenses levied towards the charged; ranging from some being forced to step down to some serving time. A notable absence is of course the lack of President Nixon. Nixon was not involved in a variety of offenses despite playing a pivotal role, many people theorized this is because ‘the president is above the law’, the truth of that is debatable, but Nixon's political career was over. Nixon's life after resignation had immediately taken a drastically negative turn as he almost immediately fell ill with severe phlebitis that needed to be operated on, only to be in shock due to internal bleeding after the events of this surgery. After recovery Nixon's financial situation had only gotten worse as his assets were slowly seeping away. Nixon had also been disbarred and had to rely on reforming his image over the next twenty years of his life to make and maintain any type of money. At the end of his life, Nixon reached a different level of appreciation as the consequences of Watergate felt much more minimal during the Clinton administration. Still, much of the public knowledge of Nixon almost thirty years post-mortem came from his contributions to Watergate and this distinct absence of any criminal charges for him.
This brings us to the recent charges brought against Donald Trump. As the first president, we are treading on untreated territory, even having questions on whether or not it would be ok to handcuff the former president. Hopefully, this historical analysis gives a bit more of an understanding of the conditions we are currently seeing, and the importance of the following weeks.
***Thank you so much for reading if you got this far! Please let me know if you enjoyed it and let me know if there is anything I should change. I hope for this to be a weekly series depending on the amount of work I have for each week. ***
