Walls closing in AGAIN on Cap'n Heel Spurs. Although I hate the idea of federal charges since any Republican Prez would pardon Trump on day one, regardless of the severity of the crime.

WSJ:

WASHINGTON—Special counsel Jack Smith has all but finished obtaining testimony and other evidence in his criminal investigation into whether former President Donald Trump mishandled classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort, according to people familiar with the matter.

Some of Trump’s close associates are bracing for his indictment and anticipate being able to fundraise off a prosecution, people in the former president’s circle said, as clashes within the Trump legal team have led to the departure of a key lawyer.

In recent weeks prosecutors working for Smith have completed interviews with nearly every employee at Trump’s Florida home, from top political aides to maids and maintenance staff, the people said. Prosecutors have pressed witnesses—some in multiple rounds of testimony—on questions that appeared to home in on specific elements Smith’s team would need to show to prove a crime, including those that speak to Trump’s intentions, and questions aimed at undermining potential defenses Trump could raise, they said.

How many times has Agip and Flagpole and the rest of the Dems said this: "
Walls closing in AGAIN on Cap'n Heel Spurs."

50 times? 100 times? 1000 times? Just hilarious.

I wonder if the legal battles are intended to deplete Trump of campaign funds.

GOP Crime Blotter

Remember, Republicans. These are the BAD guys, not the GOOD guys.

A Texas militia member was sentenced Friday to nearly five years in prison for attacking police officers at the U.S. Capitol, seriously injuring one of them during a mob's attack on Jan. 6, 2021.
U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss sentenced Donald Hazard to four years and nine months in prison followed by three months of supervised release for his role in the riot at the Capitol, according to a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's office for the District of Columbia.
The sentence matched what federal prosecutors had recommended for Hazard, who pleaded guilty to an assault charge in February.
Hazard, 44, of Hurst, Texas, was a member of a militia called the Patriot Boys of North Texas. Lucas Denney, the group's self-proclaimed president, appointed Hazard as its sergeant-at-arms. Denney also encouraged Hazard to stock up on weapons and protective gear and recruit others to join them in Washington, D.C., prosecutors said.

What were the serious injuries to that cop?
