Former President Donald Trump faced new charges Thursday in a case accusing him of illegally possessing classified documents, with prosecutors alleging that he asked a staffer to delete camera footage at his Florida estate in an effort to obstruct a federal investigation into the records.

The updated indictment from special counsel Jack Smith centers on surveillance footage at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, evidence that has long been vital to the case. Trump is alleged to have asked for the footage to be deleted after FBI and Justice Department investigators visited in June 2022 to collect classified documents he took with him after leaving the White House. The new indictment also charges him with illegally holding onto a document he’s alleged to have shown off to visitors in New Jersey.

Trump seems determined to cement his place in history as America's Crimingest President.

This one is more serious because there's no dream Trump friendly judge to prejudice things for him and the trial will be in DC, which HATES him. Good luck getting a fair trial. He's toast.
 

wonko the sane?

You may test that assumption at your convinience.

Neat. We'll add it to the pile of "still waiting for this jive to matter".
It'll matter once he's actually at trial for it.

Which will also mostly coincide with the general election. I'm honestly looking forward to the chaos on the republican side when they have to find and field "plan B", and everyone will see why it's trumps party. It'll be glorious.

His legal strat for this one is to blame the Kraken.

So is he now barred from running?
To answer my own question, according to the Guardian's coverage:
Trump’s indictments will not disqualify him from running for office, nor will any conviction.
Also the assigned judge is an Obama appointee, Tanya S Chutkan, who's delivered some harsher than requested sentences to Jan 6 defendants.

Yup, he can still run, but I believe a few states have laws baring him from being put on the ballot due to the charges. The bulk of said states with said laws already weren't gonna vote for him, though, so it won't make much of a difference. Frankly I hope he looses his GA or NY case before the election. Be kinda hard to run an administration from a state prison and he can't pardon himself from those charges.

Jack smiths other case will determine if he's committed treason, and will affect his ability to run for office. Just need to wait for that one, and it'll probably drop at a hilariously inopportune time for trump.

It will also expose the republicans whom are willing to continue to shill for a literal traitor to the republic. It's going to be FUN! next year.

They were already threatening to open an impeachment investigation. Which will go exactly as far as all the rest of their "investigations".

I'm still trying to figure out what they're trying to impeach him for. Has far has I can see he hasn't committed an actual impeachable offense. Being old and going senile isn't a crime last time I checked

Someone (usually Greene or Boebert) tries to put forth an impeachment every week or two. It never goes anywhere because they're idiots.

Fun fact! Traitor green has actually brought articles of impeachment every week since biden was elected. They have nothing, but desperately hope that by constantly pestering and threatening him, they'll drive him to do something that they can scream "AHA!" over and finally, FINALLY have their scooby-doo "unmasking the ghost moment".

Because their all ******* 1980's cartoon villains: relentless, driven, motivated and so utterly stupid and incompetent that their only service is being an example of how not to be.
