Misinforming

THE LATEST RUMOR is that Trump's attorneys are going to argue that all the material found by the FBI in their raid on Mara Lago, all the government documents were not government property. Evidently they intend to begin making this highly questionable arguement soon, before Trump is even indicted and, Lord willin' and the creek don't rise, before he even appears in court. Precisely how theey intend to make this ostensibly spurious argument, in terms of facts and logic, remains anyone's guess. Perhaps their simple logic will be that when Trump took the material with him when he left the presidency, the material automatically began belonging to him the moment he took it, simply because he took it. Well, as they say, if that's all they got.....Another rumor, in the form of a prediction, is that if Trump is indicted, by any government or court, violence will break out in the United States, presumably widespread, across America. Scenes of the Capitol insurrection come vividly to mind, and you realize that not only are Trump's followers crazy enough to become violent, but in fact they are violent by nature, and have already demonstrated this propensity. And, alarmingly, it appears there there are still somewhere around seventy five million Trump followers, although the actual number may have dropped somewhat. Let's just say, there are enough of them to make trouble, serious trouble. And nothing could be more obvious than the reality that not only should Trump be indicted, he must be, because this business of his stealing Top Secret documents from the government is deadly serious, and he was, as they say, caught red handed. Trump must be indicted, charged with federal crimes, pure and simple. An investigation must be conducted to reveal exactly how Trump got all that material smuggled out of the White House, who if anyone helped him, what his motive was, and what he intended to use it for, or perhaps has already used it for. Has he already sold out America, to maybe, say, Putin? The point is, who knows? We must find out. The reaction of his MAGA following to a Trump indictment cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty, but, based on their behavior generally heretofore, they will not react reasonably. Most Trump supporters still claim that the FBI planted the evidence to trap Trump, and they also claim that the documents found by the FBI were declassified by Trump. But if they were planted by the fibbies (the FBI), how could Trump possibly have declassified them? Trump supporters have long since abandoned the realm of reason, and have constructed their own, alternative, imaginary reality, a mass delusion, mass mental illness. We may expect them at any moment to claim that Jesus Christ instructed Trump to take the documents home with him.
