Trump Indicted on Felonies Related to Classified Documents

Now that Trump is facing 37 felony counts including espionage, it’s interesting to watch Fox News and the other members of the ultra-MAGA media defend the former president on the basis that the prosecution is unfair.  I just tuned in for a few minutes to see it for myself.

“What about Hunter Biden’s laptop?” a blonde with a good half-a-pound of make-up asked the viewing audience.  “The FBI has had it in its possession for more than four years, and these people are calling for a ‘speedy trial?'”

What will be even more interesting is where this will go over the coming months and years, as additional charges rain down, trials proceed, Trump is found guilty, and sentenced to prison.  Will Team Fox eventually just drop the matter and move on to something else?  Or will they continue to incite another U.S. civil war until heavily armed Trump supporters attack federal law enforcement?

Trump has already told his base that they need to “fight like hell, or they won’t have a country anymore.”  Now, obviously, there are a few hundred of them who took him at his word on January 6th, 2021, and are consequently in jail right now; thankfully, they will be unable to engage in another uprising for at least the next few years.  But the rest are standing by, ready to go.  All they need is a bit of encouragement.
