Trump will be indicted sometime in the next 30 days. Biden's speech tomorrow is to lay out the pretext. Get ready; this is definitely not priced.

Joe Walsh: Trump could get sent to prison and he'd still win the Republican nomination. :)

Trump's been found with top secret documents containing details of a foreign government's defence and nuclear capabilities. That certainly narrows it down, it must be a NATO member. If that doesn't get him banged up I don't know what will.

Its the UK. Which makes sense because of the information sharing, there are 3 USA ownded Radar / Listening installations in the UK so that the USA can track world-wide missile launches. It would go without saying that they know our Nuclear capabilitiy, should it be needed.

Has to be the UK as apart from the USA nobody else on the 5 eyes group has Nukes. The target data changes constantly and is linked to the launch codes, which Truss now has. Putin will of known about it for years probably but not on the specific target related data. If Truss decides to or has to launch then she wont actually know where they all going in realtime. She will have an idea but not on the specifics until she see's / watches the tracking data.

With J6, Georgia and the NY tax probe as well it would amaze me if he managed to wiggle his way out of this mess

I'm more amazed at how his supporters stand with him through thick and thin. There's absolutely nothing he can do that would make his sheep turn away!

I'm a bit ashamed to say I stuck up for him for far too long, but I'm now well on the other side of the fence (better late than never right?).

I do think it says a lot though how his supporters are pro law enforcement/military/border security but will forgive Trump for treason, I guess for some they feel its too late to swallow their pride so they just double down.

Don't forget that Trump went bankrupt 3 times. 5 banks lost billions of $, 2 of them went bust and are no more. And to make his money again he got another 4 banks to risk millions of $ with no collateral as he didn't have any at the time. Plus he been investigated by the IRS many times over many years and never nailed for anything. Most people in the USA that hide stuff or don't tell the truth to the IRS almost always end up in Jail.

He may well be heading for lock up this time but history shows he can fall in shit, come out smelling roses or even sell sand to the arabs.

I still think he probably has enough secrets on certain people and institutions to be able to do a deal of some kind.

But, we shall see.

That is why you're good at this job. Keeping an open mind and having the strength to change your position if the evidence changes. And having the minerals to say it.

(note to self: we all need to do that whatever side of a debate we start on)

Is there a presumption that Trump had obtained these classified documents on a nuclear power (such as dear old Blighty) in order to feed them onto Russia?

The Mind Absolutely F*cking Boggles!

if that was the case.
