Trump Indictment: Lack of Charges Over Hillary's Server Scandal is Highly Relevant, Not 'Whataboutism'
Former President Donald Trump has been indicted,
again. Last time this happened, back in late March, the charges came
courtesy of left-wing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg -- and we
called it as we saw it: An indictment resting on a risky and untested
legal bank-shot that absolutely reeked of partisan politics. Whatever one thinks of Trump's personal conduct
with Stormy Daniels, the notion that he committed a felony is
preposterous. That prosecution is a disgrace. This time, the
indictment comes from the feds, and it pertains to Trump's
post-presidency handling of classified materials, as well as various
officials' efforts to recover them.
From what we've learned since last evening, the former president faces seven charges
related to this matter. Following the Mar-a-Lago raid last year, the
dueling narratives that emerged after that search, and various reports
and leaks about the investigation, we have a general sense of what some
of the evidence against Trump might look like. But until we can read
exactly what the charges are, and what the underlying evidence is, it's
impossible to render an informed analysis of the strength of the case,
from a legal standpoint.
