Facts:
1. A Florida Grand Jury indicted Trump - not Biden.
2. "If they can do this to him they can do this to you" is technically correct. However, The best way to say it is "No one is above the law."
3. "If they can jail an opponent we don't have a republic" is simply asinine. Trump is NOT in jail. He will show up for an arraignment and likely be released.
4. He is afforded all the rights everyone is afforded and a trial will take place according to the rule of law - unless he takes a plea deal.
5. Grand juries indict - not prosecutors.
6. Donald Trump says he is innocent - and he is - UNTIL proven guilty.
7. This is the justice department working as it should. If he is found NOT guilty then he will have had his day in court as has the government.
8. EVERY single member of the GOP now ranting about how unfair this is continues to put our country in peril, fomenting anger when most of them cannot stand Donald Trump. They do it because they fear his supporters and want them to get re-elected.
9. EVERY single member of the GOP (with the exception of maybe MTG and George Santos) know they are lying but continue to do so.
10. It ain't over yet . . .

Official Statement from the Marianne Williamson Presidential Campaign on Indictment of Former President Donald J. Trump
Today, we're issuing a statement in response to the federal indictment of former President Donald J. Trump.
“The indictment of a former president on charges related to the Espionage Act is a sobering development. All Americans - regardless of our political affiliation - should be hoping for a fair and impartial trial for the former president. Mr. Trump and his lawyers have the right to defend his case in court, and all of us as citizens have the responsibility to honor our criminal codes of justice.
No person is above the law, and all are innocent until proven guilty. Both apply to the former president, as they apply to every American. The law should be a nuanced instrument, not a meat cleaver, and it should never be an instrument of personal grievance. Such a case as this, if prosecuted unfairly, could set a dangerous precedent; it is to every American's benefit, therefore, that Mr. Trump receives equal justice before the law.
The special prosecutor in this case, Jack Smith, is a registered Independent and is not working at the behest of the Biden Administration. Such charges are false, and those who are making them know that. A grand jury made the decision to indict. The goal of the system is to be an impartial witness to the facts. I have no doubt that those involved in the indictment have done their best to achieve that, and that those who will be involved in the trial going forward will seek a similarly high standard of justice.”
@amyallantdf I'm up all night too. Two days ago I never even went to bed at all. Usually 4,5,6,7am before I force myself to sleep a few hours. Ugh! I don't know one snake from another but I steer clear of all of them.
