Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he has been told he is a target in the Jan. 6 criminal investigation by special counsel Jack Smith. Trump is the leading contender for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. Smith already has criminally charged Trump with about three dozen counts related to retaining classified documents when he left the White House.

Trump also suggested he may soon face indictment for the Jan. 6 probe, which is focused on Trump’s efforts to overturn his loss in the 2020 election to President Joe Biden. Trump posted his statement on his Truth Social account. Two sources with direct knowledge of the probe confirmed to NBC News that Smith sent Trump a target letter in the case.

“Deranged Jack Smith, the prosecutor with Joe Biden’s DOJ, sent a letter (again, it was Sunday night!) stating that I am a TARGET of the January 6th Grand Jury investigation, and giving me a very short 4 days to report to the Grand Jury, which almost always means an Arrest and Indictment,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social site.

A spokesman for Smith declined to comment. A hearing in the classified documents criminal case is set for Tuesday in Florida federal court. Trump’s lawyers have asked that any trial in that case take place after the 2024 election. Smith’s prosecutors oppose that bid. Trump is separately under criminal investigation by a Georgia state prosecutor for his attempt to get election officials there to reverse his loss to Biden in Georgia.

1. This makes me smile

Link to tweet

[BumRushDaShow]

7. Am imagining you like this

[LetMyPeopleVote]

47. This will be fun to watch

I am looking forward to reading the indictment. I am not a criminal lawyer but the indictment will still be fun to read

[BumRushDaShow]

53. I would think it would touch on RICO

But what seems still up in the air is whether they roll the "fake electors" scheme into this (I believe there were different grand juries) or do that separately.

I haven't turned on the TV yet because I know they are going wild...

[LetMyPeopleVote]

60. Again, I am not a criminal lawyer but it is my understanding that federal RICO would be difficult

There will be conspiracy allegations. There was a plan to block the peaceful transfer of power and several acts taken in furtherance of this plan which will support a conspiracy. Georgia has a much loser RICO law and I understand that Fanni Willis will like use that theory in her indictments.

Again, I am corporate lawyer whose hobby is election law and voter protection.

[BumRushDaShow]

71. That's okay

What the degree allows you to do is have tort background and access to case sources.

IIRC, Smith brought in some "specialty" lawyers to assist, so it will be interesting to see what they come up with.

[Walleye]

9. That was exactly my reaction

[jaxexpat]

14. I'll smile when they BRING HIM IN.....

like any other citizen.

[Lulu KC]

22. amen n/t

[Attilatheblond]

72. I'll smile if the judge puts him in custody pending trial

It is obvious he is a danger to the public.

[jaxexpat]

86. That fact is obvious and, still, here we are.

Apparently justice and good people are slow. Perhaps to the point of ineffectuality.

[PatSeg]

41. For a "deranged" person,

Jack Smith is pretty impressive!

[wnylib]

43. LOL

[homegirl]

85. The usual

Trump/MAGA projection technique!

[PatSeg]

92. And he keeps on trying!

[brooklynite]

2. Damn DOJ "institutionalizes"....

[Beachnutt]

4. The con wrote he has 4 days to appear

before the grand jury,
and giving me a very short 4 days to report to the Grand Jury.
Is this true ?
He is such a liar you never know.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

37. It is not a command to report, it is an offer to appear and state his side of the story in person

A last offer, because he certainly has had lots of opportunity to appear.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

50. No attorney will let TFG testify before a grand jury

[Bernardo de La Paz]

51. Not even a parking garage lawyer would let him. . . . nt

[LetMyPeopleVote]

5. Again, I am smiling

Link to tweet

[RobertDevereaux]

6. A target that ought to have been . . .

. . . thickly covered in thousands of arrows, all of them sunk point-deep in the target's traitorous center.

[Beachnutt]

8. What court will this be handled in ?

Surely not Cannons.

[Wonder Why]

19. Crime was in D.C. so it would be D.C. court IMHO.

[wnylib]

54. Look for Trump's lawyers to move for a change of venue.

They will claim that it is impossible to get an unbiased jury in DC where the violence took place.

[ancianita]

23. DC.

[ChazInAz]

26. So...

If his pet judge Cannon tries any more jiggery-pokery with dates, this is just waiting to fill the vacancy in his life.

[ancianita]

31. So

yah, given his whole life is as vacant as the banality of evil.

Smith's gonna have him so booked up and looking for lawyers that he won't have time for election rallies.

[ChazInAz]

33. Amen and hallelujah!

He strikes me as being the sort of lackwit who's easily bored.
Let's keep him occupied.

[yardwork]

88. That photo makes me smile.

10. And Trump is shittin' kittens

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he has been told he is a target in the Jan. 6 criminal investigation by special counsel Jack Smith.

********

I hope the mother fucker is suffering.

[COL Mustard]

28. Poor kittens!!!

What did they ever do to you???

Yeah, I’m smiling too!

[ancianita]

29. Good. He'll probably be indicted by Friday or next Monday.

[Scrivener7]

11. Go, Jack!

[Xipe Totec]

12. you are targeted

https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/c6061139-ef73-4a97-9377-84668c3b2a33

[Autumn]

13. He seems stressed. There are ways to avoid all of this. First one that come to mind is hop

on that plane and head to Russia with his family...

[jaxexpat]

17. That option is not viable.

It really never was, though there are odd parallels with this and the Shah's last days.

[COL Mustard]

30. I hope for a

National Day of Mourning. As least we Feds will get a day off.

[wnylib]

58. And if his plane is as well maintained

as everything else in his life, that plane might end up in the Atlantic - or the Pacific, depending on which dictator he flees toward.

[Autumn]

64. That would be a real shame...I hope he didn't steal a life raft from when he was on AF1.

[wnylib]

69. Right now he might be wishing that he had paid

his plane's mechanics better - or that he had paid them at all and not stiffed them. Imagine what kind of job a mechanic would do if poorly treated.

[Attilatheblond]

75. Maybe the Arctic Ocean? Polar route to St. Parkersburg?

If he gets cleared to land in Russia would depend on what boxes or scanned docs he might still have?

[wnylib]

76. Putie has enough troubles on his plate right now.

OTOH, Putin might welcome the distraction. He could claim to his people that it is proof that Russia is fighting fascism, as he claims that the invasion of Ukraine is all about. "We welcone the great President Trump in our fight against fascism in the US, Ukraine, and NATO."

[Attilatheblond]

102. Yep, for for Trump, only Trump matters

Only Trump has bad things happen to him, according to Trump. Mindset of a 2 month old infant.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

117. His jet doesn't have the fuel to land in Russia

He has to stop somewhere long before that. Most likely Ireland or Scotland, but he might be able to get to a few countries with Atlantic seafront, save for Norway.

Problem: None of those Atlantic seaboard countries in Europe are fond of him, and I doubt any of them retain enough good will toward him to aid and abet his attempt to escape prosecution in the US.

That's why he won't fly the coop. He knows he's bollocksed if he tries it.

[wiggs]

15. Seems to me this puts pressure on Cannon today to do the right thing. She'll realize she's

not standing in the only pathway which saves Trump. She would stand out among several judges who will be seeing tfg in court.

[cilla4progress]

18. Agree.

If true, exquisite timing!

[Beastly Boy]

27. +1.

I doubt the timing of the notice is a concidence.

[COL Mustard]

32. Can she unilaterally dismiss the charges?

If she can, watch for it. She was so on his side last year that nothing would surprise me.

[Tommy Carcetti]

61. Technically, she could.

But if it's before a jury is sworn in, it's appealable and not double jeopardy to refile.

Only way she could get the case thrown out permanently on her own would be to grant a directed verdict in Trump's favor after the jury is empaneled.

[COL Mustard]

74. I shouldn't have asked

I don’t want to give her any ideas.

[agingdem]

66. Agree...I suspect Jack Smith is "telling" Cannon..

she has two paths today..judicious/follow the law or Trump advocate/cheerleader and the 11th Circuit says "WTF!"..


as for Trump the J6 Target..I think this was Jack Smith's plan all along..once the documents case landed in Cannon's court and the 50/50 prospect of her doing the right thing, Smith was ready to indict Trump in New Jersey/DC...

[OneGrassRoot]

68. Interesting point. n/t

[RussBLib]

16. More good news

And I don't give a fuck if Trump's poll numbers go up with indictments. Those are the morons of America.

[wnylib]

49. Indictments are Trump's main GOTV method now.

The indictments will bring out his supporters in droves, but they will also bring out his opponents, and there are more of us.

If the trial is over and he is convicted, he might not be able to run in 2024. Depending on what the specific charges are, a conviction might disqualify him from office.

You can be sure that the fascist party knows this, too, and will have someone lined up to take his place. They will make him a martyr and try to draw in votes on that.

IF someone else runs in Trump's place, the fascist party platform will not change. They still intend to turn the presidency into a dictatorship if they get the power. All the more reason for us not to get complacent, and to make sure that Biden wins and gets the Congress that he needs to preserve democracy.

Thus will be the "trial of the century."

[Mr. Ected]

89. Always just knee-jerk reactions among the true believers, meaningless in the big picture

Let's just say that his appeal isn't growing; in truth, it's shrinking every day as more and more Republicans peel away from the MAGA train to join the real world. The media is stirring the shit and making their shrieks of anger much louder than they truly are.

[Beastly Boy]

20. Strike another one off the anti-Garland conspiracy theory list

Garland is NOT stopping Smith from prosecuting Trump.

So much for Garland the institutionalist shaking in fear from setting a precedent for indicting a former president...

[Oopsie Daisy]

24. Oh, I missed that one. How silly! It's difficult for me to understand what motivates people who are

Oh, I missed that one. How silly! It's difficult for me to understand what motivates people who are conspiracy theorists or who continually engage in paranoid or defeatists speculation. I see no reason that anyone should distrust Joe Biden's judgement or for anyone to be resentful of him.

[ancianita]

90. Yep, strike another. And about damn time, too.

Never once saw fear. Ever. This is what a badass AG looks like.

[Oopsie Daisy]

21. Does this mean that an indictment is imminent? Within a day or two? A week, perhaps?

[Tommy Carcetti]

35. Probably within the next week or two.

Which also would place it close to the anticipated date of action in Georgia.

[wnylib]

52. So, we could see Trump and his co-conspirators all indicted at the same time.

Oh, my. What a summer!

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

91. It's gonna be a cruel summer for Dipshit Donnie

[wnylib]

95. But a riveting one for Americans as well as people around the world.

[FarPoint]

36. The Target Letter/ letter of intent is....

An opportunity for one to come into Grand Jury and clean up issues.. it is a chance to clarify ...tRump won't show

[Bernardo de La Paz]

42. Yes. tRump lies about being required to report to GJ, but would ignore it even if true. . . nt

[ancianita]

44. If Trump doesn't report by Thursday, I predict he'll be indicted Friday or Monday.

[Oopsie Daisy]

55. That would be nice. I hope it's Friday... I have some champagne ready.

[wnylib]

59. Always more convenient for us just before the weekend.

Gives us a couple days for partying.

34. Confirmed on MSNBC...

My sense. Indictment on Thursday

[BumRushDaShow]

39. Confirmed pretty much everywhere

I have a billion "breaking news" banners that came after the CNBC one (that even made an alert noise to let me know it was there).

[Marthe48]

Probably Budweiser, since the MAGAts boycott it now.

Trump receives a target letter in Jan. 6 special counsel investigation

By Caroline Linton, Robert Legare, Graham Kates, Melissa Quinn

Updated on: July 18, 2023 / 10:55 AM / CBS News



Former President Donald Trump posted on social media on Tuesday that he has received a letter indicating he is the target of a criminal investigation by a grand jury investigating attempts to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 election.

Multiple sources confirmed to CBS News that the former president's post is accurate — he did receive a target letter in the special counsel's investigation into the events surrounding the 2020 presidential election.

The former president said on Truth Social, his social media platform, that he had received a letter saying he's "a TARGET" of an investigation from special counsel Jack Smith Sunday night. Trump said he was given four days to report to the grand jury.

He repeated his claim that the special counsel is engaged in a "witch hunt" and criticized the investigation as a "complete and total political weaponization of law enforcement."

Special counsel informs Trump he is target in probe of efforts to overturn 2020 election

The development indicates another indictment of Trump could be imminent.

By Katherine Faulders, John Santucci, Alexander Mallin, and Luke Barr
July 18, 2023, 9:27 AM


Special counsel Jack Smith has informed former President Donald Trump by letter that he is a target in his investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election, sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News.

Trump also confirmed the development in a post on his Truth Social platform.

The letter, which sources said was transmitted to Trump's attorneys in recent days, indicates that yet another indictment of the former president could be imminent -- though it is not immediately clear what kind of charges he could ultimately face.

Target letters are typically given to subjects in a criminal investigation to put them on notice that they are facing the prospect of indictment.

CNN/WaPo/NYT are doing "live updates" things that are no good here in LBN.

[Marthe48]

78. Thank you BumRushDaShow

I checked Google news, and each story I checked said 'trump said'. I scoff at anything the (pile) p.o.s. says

[BumRushDaShow]

80. It depends on which ones actually have reliable "sources"

they normally go to for confirmation. I think they all initially reported that "he said" but those with actual sources sought them out and reported a confirmation or not. I think some like the NYT & WaPo are burying their ledes by not reporting some independent confirmation, although it's possible their bosses want a definitive source before "confirming" either way.

[Marthe48]

87. Not a Friday news dump

so that's different If true, traitor probably couldn't wait from Sun. to Fri. to blab

[ancianita]

73. Might be off by a day or two, but if I know Jack Smith,

Last edited Tue Jul 18, 2023, 01:00 PM - Edit history (1)

he's already got the charges ready to file in the same DC courthouse where the grand jury votes and can file them on the same day. That's why I'm thinking probably Friday or Monday.




Cannon, will soon see
-- that Jack Smith won't be delayed no matter how indulgent she is of trump defense team's bullshit due process dance, so perhaps today's pre-trial docs and scheduling hearing will present her at her best. We'll see what that looks like;
-- another federal judge who'll show her how the trial process is properly and ethically done.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

100. Yup!

He probably thought (and his lackeys probably told him) his pet judge would delay that trial for him and ensure him the election, thus allowing him to pardon himself.

(They'd say that to spare the poor innocent ketchup bottles.)

Jack Smith responds, No Fuckin Way!

[Prairie_Seagull]

79. My cheaper everyday coffee is tasting very good today.

[Stuart G]

81. K & R...Couldin't happen to a meaner piece of SH*T...A toast to the people who indicted him.

[republianmushroom]

82. About time,

29 months and counting

[Takket]

83. Where does a target letter fit into the GJ process?

Does that mean the GJ has already met?
Does it mean they have voted in indictments?
Are they just waiting to see if drumpf shows up and then they will vote?

[ancianita]

93. The GJ has been impaneled since 2022 and stands until March 2024.

They don't vote for indictment until Trump fails to show on the date written in the target letter, and then they proceed.

[BumRushDaShow]

97. Well with the classified documents case

his lawyers were apparently given notice that he was a "target" the day before (Wed. Jun 7) - https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/live-blog/live-updates-witness-appears-florida-trump-classified-documents-invest-rcna87304

Then freaked out when receiving a summons with a notification of an indictment (on Thurs. Jun. 8 and was told to appear on the following Tuesday) - https://www.democraticunderground.com/10143085552

(this was the same classified documents case that is going on right now in FL with Loose Cannon)

Similarly, there were rumblings about Alvin Bragg wrapping things up and 45 claiming he was about to be arrested, although NY did a "head fake" about the grand jury not considering the issue as they would be working on another case, and might not get back to it until at least April... until they dropped the bomb of a vote and indictment 12 days later (Mar. 30) - https://www.democraticunderground.com/10143053042

So I expect in both cases, he had been invited to testify (via the target letter) and declined. I.e., in NY and I expect this notice is that opportunity.

So for this 3rd case, it seems to suggest that the grand jury (if they haven't already done so) plans to meet and vote possibly this week on the indictment(s) and this might be his last opportunity to put his 2 cents in to the grand jury before the indictments drop.

[Novara]

84. Perfect timing, Jack Smith ...

... before he asks Cannon to postpone the Florida trial indefinitely (today). She now has no justification to push it past the election because it's likely the J6 trial will happen before the election anyway.

Keep in mind that this one will be in DC.

And remember, he does not have to be convicted of insurrection to be barred from the ballot. The Constitution does not require a conviction. I have heard that several secretaries of state have been conferring about keeping him off the ballot. Just the indictiment may push them to make that decision.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

101. Power

move by Jack Smith IMO.

Freakin beautiful!

physical metaphor of finally some (hopefully) legal restraint to the sheer malevolence of this man!

Mahalo, BRDS.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

116. Why is he only getting it on Sunday night

That's likely BS.

1) The US Government uses only USPS mail.

2) The only USPS letter mail that gets delivered on a Sunday would be Express mail, and I seriously doubt that the DOJ would send a target letter that way--they send out too many, and that would become too expensive. Last I heard, they used certified mail for something like that. Which, while a small step up from first class or Priority letter mail, still doesn't rate Sunday delivery.

Since it's likely that he's lying about when he got it, he's probably lying about a whole bunch else.

I'll wait for Smith to make an announcement before I take seriously anything this evil psychopath has to say.

[BumRushDaShow]

118. To address

Why is he only getting it on Sunday night

That's likely BS.

1) The US Government uses only USPS mail.

Not correct. The federal government uses all sorts of shipping and delivery services including USPS. GSA awards contracts for vaious types of deliveries (including "freight" ) that might include Fedex or DHL or UPS. There is no restriction to only using USPS.

GSA lists contracts for deliveries - https://www.gsa.gov/buy-through-us/products-services/transportation-logistics-services/transportation-programs/transportation-and-logistics-services-schedule

And this includes "same day/express", etc. - https://www.gsa.gov/buy-through-us/products-services/transportation-logistics-services/transportation-programs/transportation-and-logistics-services-schedule/package-delivery

List of those contractors - https://www.gsaelibrary.gsa.gov/ElibMain/sinDetails.do?scheduleNumber=MAS&specialItemNumber=492110&executeQuery=YES

And for "local courier" services - https://www.gsa.gov/buy-through-us/products-services/transportation-logistics-services/transportation-programs/transportation-and-logistics-services-schedule/local-courier-delivery-services

2) The only USPS letter mail that gets delivered on a Sunday would be Express mail, and I seriously doubt that the DOJ would send a target letter that way--they send out too many, and that would become too expensive. Last I heard, they used certified mail for something like that. Which, while a small step up from first class or Priority letter mail, still doesn't rate Sunday delivery.

Since it's likely that he's lying about when he got it, he's probably lying about a whole bunch else.

I'll wait for Smith to make an announcement before I take seriously anything this evil psychopath has to say.

I'm afraid you went down the rabbit hole. The government will literally contract "couriers" to hand-deliver. And USPS has "same day" and usually correspondence from a federal agency to a regulated company will be sent "certified".

(I was a fed for 30+ years and had to deal with all the different ways we were sending out correspondence and packages to our regulated industries)

120. I didn't go down a rabbit hole

I'm going on what most government agencies have done in the past--which is use only USPS mail. Maybe that's changed, and, to me it's not for the better.

And I forgot that they could deliver a subpoena by hand.

Try not to be so presumptuous.

121. I worked for the federal government for 30+ years and am retired

and you are incorrect. Anyone who DID work for the feds knows this. There is nothing "presumptuous" about "facts" versus "guessing".

USPS doesn't "deliver" to Antarctica but there would be a contractor who could fly in and deliver mail and parcels. GSA handles that process for the entire federal government.
