Former President Donald Trump is not having a good day. A report from the Daily Wire has revealed that Trump has now been slapped with three additional criminal charges in the classified documents case by Special Counsel Jack Smith. The left will not stop the assault on Trump, and by extension, his supporters and other diehard conservatives, until they see him barred from running for president and make an example out of him they can use to intimidate the political right into silence. However, I don’t think this scheme is going to go the way they think it is.
Ryan Saavedra wrote for the news outlet, “The former president was charged with one additional count of willful retention of national defense information and two additional obstruction counts stemming from alleged attempts to delete surveillance footage at Mar-a-Lago after investigators had delivered a subpoena to Trump seeking the materials that he had in his possession.”
“One of the key revelations in the new superseding is that prosecutors now have in their possession the document that Trump showed to a writer and a publisher during a recorded interview in July 2021 at his golf club in Bedminster,” Saavedra said.
After first being indicted in the case, Trump came out in several media interviews claiming he was not holding up any documents, stating it was just simply a case of him putting on too much “bravado.”
“I would say it was bravado; if you want to know the truth, it was bravado,” Trump went on to say. “I was talking and just holding up papers and talking about them, but I had no documents. I didn’t have any documents.”
The superseding indictment, however, seems to clearly indicate the document is in the hands of prosecutors.
“The document that TRUMP possessed and showed on July 21, 2021, is charged as Count 32 in this Superseding Indictment,” the indictment states.
Prosecutors said that on June 3, 2022, when FBI agents were collecting classified documents from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, they noticed surveillance cameras installed near the storage room. A couple of weeks later, the Justice Department then reached out to Trump’s team to let them know they needed access to the footage captured by the cameras.
“Trump, co-defendant Walt Nauta, and newly added co-defendant Carlos De Oliveira, a maintenance worker, were all charged in connection with an alleged attempt to delete surveillance footage at the property,” the report continued.
The indictment then revealed that Trump, Nauta, and De Oliveira “did knowingly combine, conspire, confederate, and agree with each other and with others known and unknown to the grand jury, to engage in misleading conduct toward another person and corruptly persuade another person to withhold a record, document, and other object from an official proceeding, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1512(b)(2)(A); to corruptly persuade another person, with intent to cause and induce any person to alter, destroy, mutilate, and conceal an object with intent to impair the object’s integrity and availability for use in an official proceeding, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1512(b)(2)(8); and to corruptly alter, destroy, mutilate, and conceal a record, document, and other object from an official proceeding, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(l).”
Like I stated at the start, this attack will never stop until they fail completely and totally in their attempt to remove Trump from the 2024 playing field, or they succeed and get him tossed in the clink. And that’s what the left would like to do to every conservative. You can take that to the bank.
