The Florida indictment deliberately left out what happened to the documents when they went to Bedminster. And we know that Trump wasn't charged for mishandling all the Top Secret documents he took.
DOJ held back the Bedminster stuff so they could also charge Trump in New Jersey (especially for the conversation with Mark Meadows' book researchers), in case the Florida charges get tied up by Judge Cannon. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/06/trump-indictment-florida-new-jersey-classified/674393/ |
Yes, Trump’s disclosure of the document contents on the recorded conversation happened at Bedminster. What happens in New Jersey is prosecuted in New Jersey. Trump will be facing charges in multiple states and DC. |
Oooh… I just got a tingle in my lady town! |
Any bets on when Trump will try to flee to Russia? |
I don’t think he will. That takes guts and bravado and he’s lost that. He really is a cheese brain at this point. More’s the pity though. I would guess that even if he’s convicted his incarceration won’t look like it would for anyone else, you know, because of respect for the office (as if Trump showed the office any respect at all). If he fled to Russia, I’d love that for him, and would love it even more if it inspired the rest of his treasonous friends and followers to follow him there. If they want a dictator so badly, they should go live in a country with one. |
Good point, more wishful thinking on my part that they would all go to Russia and leave us alone.
Side note: guess what happened after the indictment? ![]() |

Of course he got his own food. |
Tulsi Gabbard on Trump's Indictment

Versailles--perfect! I'd been thinking that we'd have to build a separate prison just for him. But it just dawned on me, the perfect punishment--house arrest for 40 years (just to make sure) at Mar-a-Lago. Except it won't be a club. Nobody can visit him there. Nobody can applaud or toast or have their picture taken with him or play gold with him. All. By. Himself. And no TV. |
I can't believe a judge is going to allow them to hold two separate trials without rolling them up. I can't find the source, but I read they never found that attack plan document from Bedminster. That might be why there is no specific charge for the event. And the same could be true of the map. They may not be able to prove Trump ever had the documents. However his statement about what he is/isn't allowed to declassify is still useful when trying to prove his intent. |
