Biden had nothing to do with Trump’s indictment, according to Michael Bachner, a former Manhattan assistant district attorney. The video also does not provide evidence of Biden's involvement.

The president does not have the power under the Constitution to charge anyone with a crime, according to Marc Scholl, who served as a criminal prosecutor in New York. Under federal statute, that authority is reserved for federal prosecutors, who must present evidence and convince a grand jury to move forward with an indictment.

As former President Donald Trump prepared to be arraigned on charges related to his handling of classified documents, some supporters complained that Trump has been indicted by a special counsel while President Joe Biden hasn’t.

Fox conspiracy nonsense Biden indicted Trump so he would win nomination

Joe Biden is desperate to run against Donald Trump in 2024. His campaign team imagines that the current president is likely to beat the former president, as he did in 2020. The corollary is that they’re not at all convinced he could win over anybody else. 

Hence, the indictment of Donald Trump on charges of mishandling classified information, which inevitably fuels Trump’s grievance agenda, raises money for his campaign, and appears to have further solidified his standing as front-runner in the crowded GOP primary field. The charges are meant to make his nomination inevitable but weaken his appeal in the general election.

'I condemned the shooting, now they want to kill me': Deadly attack on Israeli border divides Egypt

A week has passed since the fateful Saturday morning of June 3, and a further question may now be added to the intense pain over the deaths of the three combat soldiers from the IDF Paran Brigade during the terrorist attack along Israel's southern border, and to the various questions regarding the functioning of the forces there – how is this incident perceived on the other side of the border? While a wave of deep mourning has swept over Israel, the newspapers have been blackened by dozens of eulogies and the TV studios have been filled by an overwhelming sense of missed opportunity, in the meantime, Egypt has been overcome by another type of shock. On the one hand, a doubtful thunderous silence has been noticeable, while on the other hand – this incident has resurrected dark feelings from the past. The Egyptian security forces wasted no time in attempting to understand precisely what had happened, to engage in a professional dialogue with their Israeli colleagues, and eventually to try and convey this compl

Fox News’s Turley: Trump could face ‘terminal sentence’ if DOJ proves even one count

“Now, we have not heard their other side. Generally, the indictments are a lot stronger on the day they are issued than on the next day, so they may be able to knock down some of these issues,” Turley said. “But some of the evidence is coming from his former counsel, and these are very damaging statements made against him. It may be hard to move those.”

Nikki Haley reverses course, says Trump ‘reckless’ if indictment true

 https://nypost.com/2023/06/12/nikki-haley-reverses-course-says-trump-reckless-if-indictment-true/

The federal indictment against former President Donald Trump indicates he was “incredibly reckless” in handling classified information, Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley said Monday — days after decrying the case as “prosecutorial overreach.”

“If this indictment is true, if what it says is actually the case, President Trump was incredibly reckless with our national security,” Haley, the former ambassador to the United Nations and onetime governor of South Carolina, told Fox News.

“More than that, I’m a military spouse, the 51-year-old added. “My husband’s about to deploy this weekend. This puts all of our military men and women in danger.”

Jim Jordan Twists Himself Into a Pretzel Defending Trump in Classified Docs Case

Bash noted some of these discrepancies to Jordan, explaining that Smith found the Secret Service was unaware Trump was allegedly hoarding boxes of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. She also pressed Jordan on whether he had evidence that Trump declassified the documents on his way out, leading Jordan to offer what appears to be the crux of the GOP’s efforts to defend Trump.

“I go on the president’s word,” Jordan said. “He said he did and the Supreme Court said that’s what counts.”

In following “the president’s word,” Jordan seems to be following the lead of a man federal prosecutors indicted for, among 37 other counts, making false statements.

Trump Loses It After Bill Barr Calls the Indictment ‘Very Damning’

Barr appeared on Fox News on Sunday, where he laid out his view of what Special Counsel Jack Smith’s indictment meant for his former boss.

“I think the counts under the Espionage Act, that he willfully retained those documents, are solid counts,” Barr said. “I do think we have to wait and see what the defense says, and what proves to be true, but I do think that ... if even half of it is true, then he’s toast. I mean, it’s a very detailed indictment, and it’s very, very damning.”
