McCarthy is still defending Trump. https://www.fresnobee.com/opinion/editorials/article276258706.html
GOP Senate leadership quiet. On Trump indictment, Senate GOP leaders silent while top House Republicans vow payback | CNN Politics
Trump was indicted by a grand jury, which is comprised of a group of citizens. Contrary to what McCarthy claims, Biden didn't indict Trump. Smith was appointed as special counsel to detach the AG from the investigation of Trump. The DOJ referred the court proceedings to FL instead of DC. Trump and his supporters should be pleased with that move. Smith is still conducting a criminal probe of Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Trump could face additional charges stemming from that investigation and also from the one in Georgia which appears poised to indict Trump in August.
Indictment Brings Trump Story Full Circle excerpt: "Why, given the 2016 campaign, he did not recognize the potential danger of mishandling classified information and take more care about it is another matter. But he spent much of his presidency disregarding concerns about the security of information and the rules about preserving government documents."
Partly because Trump spent his final months in office trying to overthrow a legitimate election, which spawned another criminal investigation of him by Smith. He could have spent the time cleaning up documents at the White House. He exited in a slipshod manner.
How ironic. The repugnants wanted to prosecute Hillsry for some Bengazi bs, but now they want to defund the DOJ because their boy is in the crosshairs.
McCarthy needs to be informed that Trump hasn't been president since January 2021 when he snubbed the rule of law with his insurrection at the Capitol (which threatened McCarthy's life with rioters smashing his windows, which may lead to more indictments) and exited with secret documents and wouldn't cooperate with the government to return them (which spawned 37 counts).
Giuliani said the documents were as safe at Mar-a-Lago as at the National Archives. The photos in the indictment also show boxes of documents between a toilet and shower at Mar-a-Lago.
