Why his arrest was so important.
On this historic day when for the 1st time a former president has been charged with federal crimes, I have thoughts. A brief thread follows. /1

I have written about democracy and dictatorships, about democracy and coup d'etats. I have written about war and peace, about power and influence, about good governance and corruption, about legitimacy and authority. /3

The reality is that the entire national security apparatus of the United States depends on people NOT DOING what Trump did. /5

I want to respond to pundits who posit that this unprecedented moment in U.S. history — when a leader or former leader is criminally indicted — is bad for democracy. I FIRMLY believe the opposite is true. /7
— HawaiiDelilah™ 🟦 (@HawaiiDelilah) June 14, 2023
I also believe it is not unprecedented. Other countries — some mature democracies, some emerging democracies — have arrested and /or prosecuted their leaders or former leaders and life goes on. In fact, so does democracy. /9

I’ll end with Special Counsel Jack Smith: “Adherence to the rule of law is a bedrock principle of the Department of Justice. And our nation’s commitment to the rule of law sets an example for the world. We have one set of laws in this country, and they apply to everyone.” /12-end

He didn’t “mishandle” documents.
He STOLE them.
And then LIED about them. To the FBI …and even to his own lawyers.
He then HID them, and falsely claimed he had complied with the subpoena and turned them all over.
And he DISPLAYED them to people not allowed to see them.

If you tweet today that you "Stand with Trump," you tell the world that:
-You stand for lawlessness
-You stand with a man who has jeopardized our national security
-You stand with a man who has waged war against law enforcement
-You stand with a man who always puts his own… pic.twitter.com/F8zusQgxkY— Republicans against Trump (@RpsAgainstTrump) June 13, 2023

Walt Nauta is taking the fall for TFG.
They either have a deal that TFG will take care of Nauta's family whole he's doing time OR TFG has incriminating material that Nauta doesn't want made public.
Either way, TFG is going to throw him under the bus to save himself.

We’ve had 46 U.S. Presidents, and they’ve been indicted on a total of 71 felony counts. Here’s how it breaks down:

it was Trump’s declaration to run for president — a move he thought would insulate him from prosecution — that might have triggered his legal death spiral. https://t.co/JkXyLfIs8A

As evidence of Trump’s liability (on multiple grounds, in different venues) has mounted, we saw the shift from “How can we indict without becoming a banana republic?” to “How can we fail to indict without becoming a banana republic?”

I’ve watched an account belonging to someone who worked in the 1st-term Obama White House move from the center-left to the far left, become a Berniebro and eventually burn all bridges with Obama voters
Yes it’s a cult; yes, it’s exactly the demographic you thought it would be.
