The Federal Grand Jury Indictment of Donald JohnTrump: Reviewing & Assessing an Historic Document...

Starting our second year on the broadcast networks of Civic Media with one of the most significant events ever in law, government, and the aspiration for justice in America—namely, the first time in our nation’s history that a former President has been charged with federal crimes. Focusing on the 38 allegations against him and his assistant-bodyguard for withholding national defense information, concealing the possession of classified documents, engaging in a conspiracy to obstruct justice, and making false statements to the federal agents investigating the case. Commentary highlighting, first, the significant national security threat described in the indictment—including exposure to individuals (and arguably even large groups of people) of the secrets of some of our most critical federal agencies, assigned responsibility both domestically and overseas with keeping us safe. As a principal, companion theme in the charging document—historical and recent confirmation (virtually all from the mouth of the former President himself) confirming his appreciation for the nature of the classified documents, his knowledge that his retention and display of them is prohibited, his intent in taking them from the White House and retaining them at Mar-a-Lago, and his contempt for the system of rules and protocols that he understood and affirmatively chose to disregard. Among the oral recitations of highly incriminating behavioral accounts in the indictment, conversations (recorded and committed to writing) between Donald Trump and various media members, PAC representatives, and personal staff—all revealing bold and brazen conduct—along with the directed movements of the many boxes in and throughout his resort residence, most tellingly in an attempt to prevent his own attorney from identifying, reporting on, and disgorging them to the requesting offices of the United States long before the infamous search warrant of August of 2022. All of that and other alleged criminal conduct prompting substantive lies and false statements to the Justice Department and its agents. Finally, in response to spectacularly insightful questions of callers, observations and perspectives on the venue-related reason for charging in South Florida, the likely trappings of the arraignment and plea hearing of the coming week, and the likely obligations of the government prosecutors to offer to the trial jury an explanation of why the former President acted as he did—perhaps out of raw arrogance and unbridled bravado, all to the harm of our nation and its security. [Next week: Follow up observations on the criminal prosecution, along with commentary on the significant decisions of the Supreme Court in recent days.]
