Not Small Potatoes

By Zamboni

Even with Benedict Donald scheduled to be arraigned on Tuesday, the good folks at the Department of Justice are not going to allow Alvin Bragg to steal the Trumpy spotlight. News just broke that DOJ has more evidence of obstruction in the stolen classified documents case.

"Federal investigators have gathered new and significant evidence that after the subpoena was delivered [in May 2022], Trump looked through the contents of some of the boxes of documents in his home, apparently out of a desire to keep certain things in his possession." Of course! No doubt to sell them to the highest bidder.

This is truly scary stuff, if you care about national security.

Nevertheless, let's not be tempted into thinking that the Alvin Bragg indictment is somehow for a "lesser" matter than the documents case or the January 6 insurrection case or the Georgia-overturn-the-election case. Here's why:

  • There are apparently 34 counts in the indictment. Thirty-four, goodness gracious. This has to be about more than paying off Stormy Daniels.
  • The purpose of the payment to Daniels was to subvert an election (2016's). Gee, where have we heard that before?
  • And now, as we're seeing, the Manhattan indictment is just the start. More to come. We cats PURR.
