Former President Donald Trump on Thursday posted on Truth Social that he’s been indicted, “seemingly over the Boxes Hoax,” and that he’s been summoned to appear at the Federal Courthouse in Miami on Tuesday at 3pm.
According to the NY Times, Trump faces seven charges, and is expected to surrender himself to authorities in Miami on Tuesday.
Donald Trump via Truth Social:
The corrupt Biden Administration has informed my attorneys that I have been Indicted, seemingly over the Boxes Hoax, even though Joe Biden has 1850 Boxes at the University of Delaware, additional Boxes in Chinatown, D.C., with even more Boxes at the University of Pennsylvania, and documents strewn all over his garage floor where he parks his Corvette, and which is “secured” by only a garage door that is paper thin, and open much of the time.
I have been summoned to appear at the Federal Courthouse in Miami on Tuesday, at 3 PM. I never thought it possible that such a thing could happen to a former President of the United States, who received far more votes than any sitting President in the History of our Country, and is currently leading, by far, all Candidates, both Democrat and Republican, in Polls of the 2024 Presidential Election. I AM AN INNOCENT MAN!
This is indeed a DARK DAY for the United States of America. We are a Country in serious and rapid Decline, but together we will Make America Great Again!

Meanwhile, the NY Times writes;
Here’s what to know:
The indictment reaches back to the end of Mr. Trump’s term in January 2021, when the documents — many of which were said to be in the White House residence — were packed in boxes along with clothes, gifts, photos and other material, and shipped by the General Services Administration to Mar–a-Lago.
After lengthy efforts by the National Archives throughout much of 2021 to get Mr. Trump to turn over the material he had taken with him — considered government property under the Presidential Records Act — Mr. Trump turned over 15 boxes of material in January 2022. The boxes turned out to contain highly sensitive material with classified markings, prompting a Justice Department investigation.
Last August, federal agents descended on Mar-a-Lago to conduct an extraordinary search that turned up material that Mr. Trump had failed to turn over in response to a subpoena months earlier demanding the return of any classified documents still in his possession.
The Justice Department has repeatedly questioned Mr. Trump’s level of cooperation with the efforts to recover the documents, saying that it had recovered more than 100 documents containing classified markings even after an attestation by one of Mr. Trump’s lawyers that a “diligent search” by his legal team had not turned up any further materials.
Mr. Trump still faces other ongoing criminal investigations. They include Mr. Smith’s inquiry into Mr. Trump’s efforts to hold onto power following his election loss — and how they led to the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol — and an investigation by a prosecutor in Georgia into his attempts to reverse his 2020 election loss in that vital swing state. Mr. Trump is scheduled to go on trial in the Manhattan criminal case next March.
According to sources familiar with the case, the DOJ declined to delay the planned indictment of Trump to investigate allegations that a senior prosecutor on the case tried to influence a key witness by discussing a federal judgeship with the witness’ lawyer, Just the News reports.
On Monday, Trump said via Truth;
Trump was indicted last month in Manhattan on allegations that he falsified business expenses to conceal hush money payments to a porn star.
As Techno Fog notes via The Reactionary;
After years and years of prosecutorial and investigative abuses and crimes, the Department of Justice has finally indicted Trump. In doing so, the DOJ has inserted itself into the 2024 presidential election, again disenfranchising millions of voters. It’s a sad day for the country and a sobering day for those who wish for the equal administration of justice.
And as Just the News notes, no prior sitting US president has ever been indicted in federal court. If the grand jury accepts the case, it will spark an unprecedented legal battle which will undoubtedly make its way to the Supreme Court, while casting a shadow over the 2024 election. According to some polls, Trump leads the GOP field by as many as 50 points.
Trump’s defense
According to the report, “Trump’s lawyers have prepared a robust defense based on months of legal research, anticipating Smith might pursue charges. Trump’s lawyers are prepared to argue that a president had broad powers under the Constitution to keep documents or declassify without any fanfare documents from his presidency and take them with him upon leaving office.”
They will rely heavily on a U.S. District Court case in Washington more than a decade ago involving former President Bill Clinton that concluded a president had broad and mostly unchallengeable power to determine which documents from his presidency can be kept personally and that any documents moved to Trump’s homes in Mar-a-Lago, Fla., and Bedminster, N.J., fall under that category.
An American Bar Association report in 2022 seemed to agree with Trump’s assertion that “guidelines support his contention that presidents have broad authority to formally declassify most documents that are not statutorily protected, while they are in office.” -Just the News
Prosecutors, meanwhile, plan to counter by arguing that constitutional authority doesn’t extend to documents which contain National Defense Information.

Hope springs eternal, vote harder my friends. What more proof do we need to realize that we live in a Banana Republic.
A ruling class plutocracy, composed of the business, political, and military elites. They will never relinquish power of their own free will. You and I are but pawns in their little game of thrones. Our Rulers.

Vote with a high caliber.
ZFG, out.
Where I come from they call that “voting with high confidence”.
I wonder if I’m the only person who believes that this is all fake, and is just another divide and conquer strategy to keep people occupied and arguing over nothing, while Trump, Biden and the rest of them sit back and laugh at us.
Yes, you’re the only one.
Indeed, this is clearly kabuki theater and it is only useful to analyze where we are on our enemy’s timeline. Literally every single one of Trumps children was/is married off to a member of the tribe. He’s not going to face real consequences any more than Epstein did. Now Trump should be indicted for the war crime that is Operation Warp speed, but alas.
They’ve done so much worse to the J6’ers and most Americans could give a rats ass about their fellow countrymen being locked away indefinitely. None of the fat retards raging about how we are a only now a banana republic will lift a finger in anger over Cheeto Jesus. The Constitution has been a worthless rag for over a century, nice for some of these utterly useless “conservatives” to notice.
If orange Judas being indicted is your Rubicon, you have severe brain damage.
So when Trump ends up sitting in prison what will you believe?
You mean exactly like Epstein was in prison, right?
If you don’t understand how this gang works yet then I can’t help you. Nothing you see on TV is real. These people aren’t real people, they are characters playing a part. Trumps part was duping Red America into rolling up their sleeve for the genocide juice.
I’ll believe he’s in jail when I can spit on him the through the cell bars for murdering my family and friends with his buddies at DARPA.
Let’s take a look at Trump’s first indictment where they claim he was arrested.
1) No footage of Trump in handcuffs
2) No footage of Trump being escorted into the county jail for processing
3) No footage from the surveillance cameras of Trump in the booking area of the jail
4) No mugshot of Trump from his arrest
Does that bother you? Don’t you find any of that strange?
Look, get out of here with your facts and your logic Anon.
The TV said this was the end of America, now donate to orange Judas’ campaign to save America, and vote GOP in 24’!
It is time to kill liberals…. all and one….
They will probably keep him away rom the general prison populous. No tRump for those guys.
I have to hand it to the democrats as they 100% nailed it. They same day the republicans looked at the direct evidence that the “big guy” was given 5 million to get the Uki prosecutor fired, they indict Trump. And what have all the conservative media outlets reported on? Trump! As we say in the South, all ya all fell for it. Not one single peep about what was in the documents while bullhorns resound about Trump.
They needed the help of the House “Republicans,” who should’ve and would’ve impeached Biden already if they were serious about doing so; the evidence of bribery and influence peddling while he was VP were already clear and overwhelming, but nothing was done.
Trump might actually do something if the deep state he protected puts him behind bars.
Yeah, he will change his wardrobe to orange too.
Trump will do as he’s always done. He’ll shit, fall back in it, and get up smelling like a rose. Why? Because the Devil looks after his own.
For certain the warden will require Trump wear one of these:
No, sir. You have been INFESTED. And that happened LONG before you sought political office. You are a dwelling place of demons, and I pity you, but I will never support you.
He was early onset demented even then. Possibly early mid stage. That’s why this went out. His handlers didn’t realize the extent or speed of the decline. You can SEE the fucking confusion on his face! The mental grasping at fig leaves. The anger. The fear. It’s all there in that face.
Once you’ve lived through it everything becomes obvious.
The liberals keep sodomizing the conservatives, and the conservatives lay on their stomachs and cry about it. We will never be free again, because the conservatives are cowards.
The death of democracy happened long ago. They are just not attempting to hide it any longer because they know the people are cowards and will not do anything about it.
Yep.
I get the feeling the Trump sideshow is just more of the deep states operation to divide and distract. I’m not too concerned because I don’t think the next election happens anyway…be prepared and good hunting.
