Two investors in Trump Media insider trading case plead guilty

It's not wizardry, it's that our political/legal system has been avoiding the question of "Can you indict a President (current or former)?" ever since Nixon.

I believe we answered this question back in the 1770's when we sent our king a letter telling him to fuck off, then beat his army and sent them packing. Then we re-answered this question in 1812 when we fought off the Brits again and Canada, who burnt down our original white house, but ultimately told the king to fuck off again ans sent his army and allies packing again. Then we told Jefferson Davis and his supporters fuck off when he tried to take over as the unelected "President", aka King/Tyrant/Despot/Dictator, although with all of the Confederate "heritage", flags, statues, and terrorist groups (KKK) that still exist it doesn't seem like we told the Confederates to fuck off hard enough, we probably should have let Sherman tell each and every one of them "fuck off" in person.

Anyway, my point is that we've already had this discussion three times and the answer to every King and wannabe King has been "fuck off" followed by a lot of killing, I'm not so sure we should be going for a forth time, especially not for an orange diaper wearing nepo baby traitor.

This has been going on a long time and they only started prosecuting Trump because he wasn’t willing to do the whole “handshake and give the classified documents back” deal. They literally started the classified documents case because he was being so belligerently criminal. Former Presidents “played the game” so to speak and gave back documents with a “slap on the wrist” outcome, because “but they gave them back!” They tried to give Trump the opportunity to do the same but he just can’t help being a criminal scumfuck.

This one is more egregious even than that, I think. I'm not aware of any prior case where a president was trying to hold onto classified documents and got caught. Compare it to, say, the current Biden thing: Biden found classified info in his home library that got moved there from his files in the WH after he left the VP slot. He notified the government, handed the stuff over, and supported a review of the rest of his home files where they found some more (if I understand correctly, not marked classified, which isn't super unusual).

Contrast with Trump where the government became aware that a number of classified documents were missing, they asked and were told no, he doesn't have them, got lawyers to testify that he didn't have any, he moved them around when there started to be scrutiny, and the FBI eventually raided the place and found them. So for some reason, he clearly really wanted to hold onto those documents when it was made clear he shouldn't have them, which should make everyone wonder what his motivation was - what he expected to gain.

It's not just that Trump made a criminal mistake, he was actively committing crimes knowingly.
