There is a reason that some of Donald Trump's lawyers and top advisers have warned the former president that he should expect to get indicted this year. Trump responded, "What about Joe Biden?" Things just got worse for Trump, and he can't ask about Biden. The cases aren't even close.

Via The Washington Post:

Two of Donald Trump's employees moved boxes of papers the day before FBI agents and a prosecutor visited the former President's Florida home to retrieve classified documents in response to a subpoena — timing that investigators have come to view as suspicious and an indication of possible obstruction, according to people familiar with the matter.

Trump and his aides also allegedly carried out a "dress rehearsal" for moving sensitive papers even before his office received the May 2022 subpoena, according to the people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe a sensitive ongoing investigation.

Prosecutors in addition have gathered evidence indicating that Trump at times kept classified documents in his office in a place where they were visible and sometimes showed them to others, these people said.

Ohhhhh.

As John Amato reported, Special Counsel Jack Smith and federal officials have information taken from notes taken by a Trump attorney that the former President had ample warning to make sure he returned all classified documents after he was subpoenaed.

Did he make copies of the documents, and did he share them with any foreign entities? The authorities need to search Bedminster and Ivana's grave. I said what I said!
