Trump indicted

CNN report:

Donald Trump has been indicted by a Manhattan grand jury, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter – the first time in American history that a current or former president has faced criminal charges.

The indictment has been filed under seal and will be announced in the coming days. The charges are not publicly known at this time, one source told CNN.

I have blogged previously that this case appears very weak compared to other cases. But until we see the actual charges and evidence, we won’t know.

The case I am most interested in is the classified document case. Not so much the possession of them, but the probability that Trump lied to his own lawyers (who unknowingly lied to the FBI) that he had returned them all. The fact that the courts have compelled his lawyers to break client attorney privilege and testify suggests there is very strong evidence in that case.

So anyway I await with interest the actual evidence. Unlike some who are so blinded by their devotion or hatred they think Trump is automatically innocent or guilty, I am keeping an open mind on this case. But as I said previously many legal experts have said it appears relatively weak.
