TRUMP INDICTED LAST THURSDAY FOR JAN. 6! UPDATE 2
From Yahoo Breaking News:
Former President Donald Trump, a 2024 presidential candidate already facing multiple criminal cases against him, has been indicted for a third time.
The Justice Department notified the former president on Thursday that a grand jury had voted to indict him over his efforts to hold onto power following his loss in the 2020 election, including his actions leading to the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Last month, Trump said that he received a letter from special counsel Jack Smith informing him that he was a target of the ongoing investigation of Jan. 6 and sources with knowledge of the case said he faced three potential criminal charges: conspiracy to commit an offense against or defraud the United States; deprivation of rights; and witness tampering.
Trump received a similar letter from Smith shortly before his indictment stemming from a separate DOJ probe into his handling of classified material after leaving office.
On Thursday, the former president’s lawyers met with prosecutors in Washington, D.C. while a grand jury was hearing evidence in the case.
According to the 45-page unsealed indictment, the former president is facing federal counts of conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding and conspiracy against rights
Updates as more becomes available.

UPDATE 2:
The account of Trump’s actions regarding the threats he made to Vice President Pence, which come from Mark Meadows, indicates that Meadows is a cooperating witness against Trump. This means they have in-the-room eyewitness testimony of Trump’s conspiratorial actions.
The indictment for conspiracy against the United States includes the Fake Elector conspiracy.

The United States of America v. Donald J. Trump, defendant
A new day for the USA.
Good. The case has been assigned to an Obama-appointed judge who has consistently sentenced Jan. 6 offenders to longer sentences than the government has requested. Not quite a hanging judge, but close. Ketchup is probably on the walls at a certain tacky golf estate as I write this.
