[Di...]

All these trials need to be made public and televised. Doing that may be the only hope to break the spell that he has over his Maga cult!

[farid]

How about charges of threats made to the special counsel?

[PlantZxaddy]

They keep calling it a "raid", it was a court sanctioned search. The use of "raid" gives more credit to Trump's use of the word even if its a lie.

In my head I’m watching the comedy of Trump and Nauta trying to navigate a computer together to delete security footage. I see them bickering. It’s hilarious lol.

[godlygirls]

Drain the (real) swamp.

Lock em all up NOW😢😢😢😢

[djolife]

What about the SERVERS? In this case the ones that had the surveillance footage. I tend to not want to vote for candidates who are TRAITORS. -Djo Life 2032

Nixon deleting tapes all over again!!! ON THE anniversary of the beginning of the trial!!

[muuuuuud]

Innocent people don't destroy evidence.

[JoeBManco]

Deleting tapes, sounds familiar. Wasn't there a former president with missing 18 minutes of tape? Oh yes, Nixon!

[marywallace]

Got to love the way the charges keep coming!

[brianh.]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. They need to play the “LOCK HER UP” audio track from one of his rallies 24/7 in his cell once he is convicted. The irony will break him.

[adamf]

The attempted destruction of evidence goes towards motives and consciousness of guilt.

[behuman]

It’s shocking to think some people will still vote for him and trust him with more classified documents. This alone should disqualify him and anyone being president. In addition WHY is Nauta walking free and still colluding with trump

[donnac.]

Way to go, Mr. Smith! Keep up the good work! You and all those working for you and with you are greatly appreciated!!

[picklefish]

I like to hear about indictments, but I would much rather hear about convictions. Indictment are mostly meaningless. They're just to help as a trial run for the actual court cases.

[o.b.]

Well done, Mr. Smith. Throw the whole book at him.

[willojam]

I honestly never thought this day would come. I hope it sticks, and has a strong consequence!

[Julia_Speaks]

Say it with me MAGA types - consciousness of guilt. It’s not the crime, it’s the cover-up. He knew all along he couldn’t keep or declassify those documents.

[sierrawander]

You always destroy evidence when you have the absolute right to take defense documents.🙄

[c.l.freeman]

Should be against the law for him to be able to pay for his and his co defendants out of a political action committee funds
