Let's not talk about Hillary or Biden. Don't worry, these charges like the rest are not politically motivated.

Rod Blagojevich: Feds Indicting Trump for Things ‘Every President Does’
Jordan Dixon-Hamilton
Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D) criticized the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) for indicting former President Donald Trump for things “every President does” and likened Trump’s prosecution to his own political prosecution.
“Weaponized DOJ is now indicting Pres. Trump for non crimes and for things every President does just as the same DOJ condemned me to prison for 14 years for things every politician does,” Blagojevich tweeted. “Selective prosecution for me and now for President Trump. What’s happening to America?”

Blagojevich made similar comments when news broke about the Manhattan District Attorney’s office’s indictment against Trump in March.
At the time, Blagojevich told Breitbart News the establishment is targeting Trump because “he won’t play ball, he won’t do things their way.”
“It’s very simple. It’s because he’s challenging the establishment. He won’t play ball, he won’t do things their way,” Blagojevich told Breitbart News. “He’s approaching government and doing things differently. And as a result of that, he’s a threat not only to the Democrats, but he threatens the traditional Washington, DC, elite country club Republicans.”
Blagojevich predicted the political establishment used his own imprisonment as a “test case” before trying to jail a former president.
“And so when I see what they’re doing to President Trump, Matt, I say this a lot, but it’s true, they were able, I believe, to use me as a test case. They did the Democratic governor at the AAA level, with successfully what they’ve been trying to do to a Republican president to major league level,” Blagojevich said. “And I think they believe that once they could do that to a governor, oh, we can take this to the next level now and do it to a president.”
“And if Trump just played ball, they would have left him alone, but he won’t. And now he’s running again. And this is why they’re doing this to him again, because they know that he’s very competitive and could very well win again,” he added. “And if he wins again, he’s learned a lot of hard lessons. And he’s going to know how to deal with that establishment deep state a lot more intelligently.”

Yes they did. PLUS, the VP Biden did it illegally, and Hillary as Secretary of State did it illegally. But the President, like Trump, can bring classified documents home. But this has nothing to do with the documents. They don't want him to run.

The difference is that Trump went out of his way to piss people off... Unnecessarily. He could have done the job without the BS
His own hubris has caught up with him.

Exactly, Bick. Thanks. When someone's approach to everything is confrontational, insulting and belligerent, eventually they will get punched in the face.

Regardless what you think about Trump, the bully getting punched in the face, we as a nation have fallen further down the America in decline rabbit hole as we now have a weaponized government attacking in unprecedented ways a former President and one whom is running against the present President. One step closer to returning to a civil war.

...we now have a weaponized government attacking in unprecedented ways... Yes, we do, but we've had that since Barack Obama took office. In a way, Donald Trump was the perfect foil to rationalize accelerating that weaponization |

While we evidence that Biden sold out the country, they chant "traitor" at Trump. The left. The morons.

Treason is defined in the Constitution as "levying war" against the United States or giving "aid and comfort" to its enemies. Joe Biden has done the second of those for financial gain, but what exactly has Trump done that meets either of those definitions? Stacking boxes of papers in an unused crapper hardly qualifies as treason.

I can't believe DeSantis went up against this, or should i say throw his hat into this ring!
