IANAL – Couldn’t the judge decide that anything that goes against the oath to preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States is, by default, not an official act?

Trump, the SC, and his allies basically got this unsealed indictment rolled out onto a red carpet for us. Thanks guys! We are busy pouring over it.

Don is a half billion in debt with a shit-ton of litigation in front of him that he can’t afford.

Yes, force the judges to determine what the fuck an “official act” is.
With all of this litigation on Trump’s plate, he’s kind of backed into a corner… winning this election is his only hope to make it go away. I’m not surprised he’s already lying about the outcome of an election that literally hasn’t happened yet, and you can bet we’re going to see some version of January 6th at the end of this year.

Can’t wait to see the unsealed charges and evidence for the maralago documents case. Then we can revisit “traitor” or “treason” with new charges.
