information, corruptly concealing documents, the conspiracy to obstruct justice and also 18 false statements. let s not pretend here. over the next year, maybe more than that, maybe longer, we will see a very complicated legal process that will unfold regarding this indictment. we will cover it every step of the way as it does unfold. i am sure at different points you will see merrick garland the attorney general on the hill insisting that this prosecution is all being done by the books without political fear or favor. motions will be filed. cross-motions will be filed. leaks will happen but maybe in an unconventional way. i want to be very clear upfront here. tens of millions of americans believe that donald trump is being indicted by the fbi because he is a political opponent of the dc establishment and joe biden. and of course he is the most popular republican in the gop today. the swamp cannot let it stand. they cannot risk that trump will actually win in 2024. that s wha
