I feel like being in possession of that amount of incredibly sensitive national security data (according to the unsealed indictments) ought to have been no-knock warrant territory, personally
Anyone who has had to take any kind of training about dealing with government documents should be beside themselves after seeing the bathroom picture. It’s just insane.
I mean… the STAGE?!?
“Look at all my top secret documents! Pillage them! Then kill or imprison dozens of our assets for an encore!”
The fountain one got me. Like wtf?
Anyone who has two brain cells to rub together should be unnerved at the idea of national secrets of the world’s largest military being loose and unaccounted for, to be honest
Bathroom picture? What am I missing here?
Trump kept boxes of documents in a bathroom that shows evidence of having been in use. There are photos. If you want to, go to the Legal Eagle channel on youtube and watch the video on the topic. It shows some of the photos. “Trump’s Bombshell Federal Document Indictment” - at the time of the posting it’s the latest.
Hell, they couldve shot him like a threatening dog. 😂
Title definitely got me 😂. But this is so true.
Shouldn’t everything be equitable here. Why does he get a pass when someone else who did the same thing would be sitting in Jail.
@[email protected] Ahhhhh so that’s what a boosted post from Lemmy looks like! I created an account on the Reddit alternative #Lemmy at lemmy.sdf.org run by the venerable SDF unix org, then followed myself from there to here, and then boosted and this is what Feddit looks like… from Mastodon
And look at that… my reply from Mastodon appears here in Lemmy. Ain’t the Fediverse grand?
@[email protected] @[email protected] this is really cool :)
I’ve also followed myself on my Calckey account, but nothing is coming through. Seems like Mastodon is more Lemmy-friendly, and vice-versa!
This is my first time really engaging with the fediverse but I’d used SDF every now and then for like 20 years. I’d always thought it was like a university or something, it was fun to learn the name is an anime reference lol.
This article came out around the time of his NY arraignment and did a really good job making this point
The arrest and arraignment of former President Donald J. Trump may have been an unprecedented moment in American history, with seismic implications for the political process. But as a legal process, it was more routine: On Tuesday, he became just another one of the roughly 31,000 people arraigned for felonies in dreary courtrooms across New York State each year.
Constitutionally, those people are entitled to equal treatment — but practically, we all know that’s not true. Usually there are handcuffs and mug shots, two indignities Trump himself avoided. (Law enforcement officials told the New York Times he wasn’t considered a flight risk.) But he couldn’t get around the fingerprinting.
There’s also no evidence that Trump spent time in an overcrowded holding cell, an experience that seems to cut through the haze of memory for many defendants, who described moldy sandwiches or pee-filled plastic cups.
By contrast, Trump was allowed to self-surrender and arrived in a multi-car motorcade, escorted by the Secret Service officers routinely assigned to a former president.
We asked people what the experience is like when you’re not a high-profile White defendant, arrested for a white collar crime, with access to top-flight lawyers, campaign donors, crowds of well-wishers and supporters. Some were indicted before their arrest, some after. The picture they give — as mostly defendants of color, mostly arrested for violent crimes — is of disorientation and hopelessness.
And usually the world is not paying attention.
Yet again was not arrested at the arraignment. No mugshot, or fingerprinting, and no bail, they sure are treating him unfairly. Can’t he just choke on a big mac already so we can be done with this cheeto?
Former President Donald Trump has been arrested at the federal courthouse in Miami. He will soon face charges related to mishandling classified documents. During the proceedings on Tuesday, deputy marshals took electronic copies of his fingerprints.
However, they did not take a mugshot of Trump because he is easily recognizable, as reported by CNN.

Thanks, I hadn’t seen the fingerprint info on the article I found. 🙂
Good clickbait title
He should be treated as terribly as he treats others. He’s a massive POS.
