Trump indictment tracks movement of boxes around Mar-a-Lago
From CNN's Hannah Rabinowitz


The federal indictment unsealed Friday tracks how boxes were moved throughout Mar-a-Lago after former President Donald Trump moved to his Florida club after he left the White House.
Boxes were initially stored in a ballroom at Mar-a-Lago, prosecutors alleged, before Trump aide Walt Nauta moved some of the boxes to a business center at the estate in March 2021.
According to the indictment, two people who worked for Trump discussed over text message whether they were able to move boxes holding classified documents.
“Woah!! Okay so potus specifically asked Walt for those boxes to be in the business center because they are his ‘papers’” one of the employees texted, according to the indictment.
Boxes were then allegedly moved to a bathroom.
In May, Trump allegedly directed that a storage room, which was accessible from several outside entrances — some of which were often kept open — be cleaned out for his boxes. The next month, more than 80 boxes were moved into the storage room.

Trump suggested his lawyer "hide or destroy documents" sought by subpoena, indictment says
From CNN's Kara Scannell

Prosecutors allege former President Donald Trump took several steps to obstruct the investigation into his handling of classified documents, according to the federal indictment unsealed Friday.
Trump told his attorney to tell the Justice Department that he didn’t have the documents sought by the subpoena, prosecutors say in the indictment.
In addition, it alleges, Trump directed his aide Walt Nauta to move documents to hide them from Trump’s own attorneys and FBI agents, and even suggested to his lawyer to “hide or destroy documents” sought by the subpoena.
The charge: Trump and Nauta both face a count of conspiracy to obstruct justice, according to the federal indictment.
“The purpose of the conspiracy was for TRUMP to keep classified documents he has taken with him from the White House and to hide and conceal them from a federal grand jury,” the indictment read.

“From January through March 15, 2021, some of Trump’s boxes were stored in the Mar-a-Lago Club’s White and Gold Ballroom, in which events and gatherings took place. Trump’s boxes were for a time stacked on the ballroom’s stage,” the indictment says, providing a photo of boxes on the stage.
The indictment goes on to say some of those boxes were moved by Trump and an aide, Walt Nauta, to the club’s business center.

Nauta texted another Trump employee, “I opened the door and found this,” including two photographs of the spilled documents. At least one of the photographs, shown in the indictment, had classified information in it.

I'm not finding an easy answer, so...

What would it take to strip Trump of his Secret Service detail?
Put him in a wing of a prison with a SS agent at a desk outside his cell who would watch him freak out on a monitor with the volume turned down and slide his food tray through the grub hole in the cell door at feeding time. Easy duty and it will save the SS a lot of money, he owns them some cash having blown their budget.

Possible trouble.
Judge Aileen Cannon is rumored to preside over trump's trial.........big trouble.
Judge Cannon is baaaaaaack. If, before the indictment broke, I made a joke by saying "Trump will be tried in South Florida with a representative sample of South Floridians as Jury and Judge Cannon as judge ... nothing to see here!" Nobody would laugh because it would sound childishly exaggerated.

Smith must be certain of his case against Trump.

She had better be careful fucking around with Jack, he has JUDGE Garland at his back and she has a very bad track record of 2 for 0 on appeal. Perhaps she had some informal peer feedback since that time? Donald has taken down plenty of lawyers but no judges, yet. I also think there could be more MAL documents charges coming out of DC involving Trump alone, he was dealing with DC, the National archives and then the DOJ, the documents were stolen from DC.

Special counsel Jack Smith says his office will "seek a speedy trial"

After the federal indictment against former President Donald Trump was unsealed Friday, special counsel Jack Smith said his office would seek a "speedy trial."
"It's very important for me to note that the defendants in this case must be presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. To that end, my office will seek a speedy trial in this matter, consistent with the public interest and the rights of the accused," he said Friday.
