Tick tock, tick tock. In a move preliminary to an indictment, the lawyers for the Malignant Loser have been notified that he's a target of the classified documents case by Special Counsel Jack Smith. It's not clear when the notice was delivered, but it signals the prosecution is ready to bring charges:
"The notification to Mr. Trump’s team by prosecutors from the office of the special counsel, Jack Smith, was the clearest signal yet that the former president is likely to face charges in the investigation.
It remained unclear when Mr. Trump’s team was told that he was a target of the special counsel’s inquiry, but the notice suggested that prosecutors working for Mr. Smith had largely completed their investigation and were moving toward bringing an indictment. [snip]
Notifying a potential defendant that he or she is a target is a formal way of indicating that the person is a direct focus of a criminal investigation and often precedes the filing of charges. The notification typically opens the door to defense lawyers requesting a meeting with prosecutors to offer their side of the story." (our emphasis)
The meeting referred to was held between the Malignant Loser's lawyers and the Department of Justice on Monday in Washington, D.C.
The Malignant Loser's been active on his failing social media site about the upcoming indictment, writing in his all-caps style that he's "done nothing wrong," and that he's been the target of a "weaponized DOJ and FBI." Building a backfire before he has to face charges is a typical move, like his attacks on prosecutors and judges prior to the Manhattan DA's business fraud case and E. Jean Carroll's sexual abuse and defamation case. In the classified documents case, the strongest evidence is the documents themselves, which should never have been at his Merde O' Lardo estate, and his own declarations and statements (e.g., in his CNN "town hall" appearance, indicating he may have shown them to others).
