That sounds pretty cold and boring but when you find the right person to tell the story... it is anything but... and that person is NOT me. I add commentary but leave the hefty nuance to the experts. I have debilitating brain fog so please, if I missed something...add it in a comment. I would like this to be a fairly comprehensive depository (repository? Is online storage a deposit?) of information, albeit not as professionally done as some might like.
Before you begin, know that tRUMP was filing late, had a lawyer, M. Evan Corcoran, file for him but it is a jumbled mess and... he is filing Pro Se... which literally means he is REPRESENTING HIMSELF! His struggle to find lawyers is also very real.

I have not read Emptywheel's analysis, but she is usually good for the cold hard facts, even though she sucks at nuance. And like me can get bogged down and be too literal , but man, she notices things no one else can , especially in huge document filings. Think of it as a more forensic analysis when no one else seems to know what is going on. https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/1561817258309156864

UPDATE 75
Remember when the video of tRUMP and his boxes being boarded for Bedminster, New Jersey surfaced last year? One of the people who moved those boxes did an exclusive interview with CNN.
"Trump employee 5," Brian Butler, spoke out about tRUMP and his 20 year's working relationship with tRUMP. He quit in November 2022 because of the criminal case and has since been cooperating with the investigation.
Butler helped load those boxes at the same time tRUMP met with re DOJ about the documents.
Good to know that a criminal investigation developing around him brought him to his senses... but I find it hard to believe that someone claiming a moral stance would just suddenly claim a moral compass after 20 years working for a criminal. Colour me skeptical...
UPDATE 74
'After Friday’s 5 hour hearing with Judge Cannon in the Mar a Lago criminal case against Trump, Special Counsel Jack Smith will be left with no choice but to seek her removal from the case under the 11th Circuit’s “lemon law”. Michael Popok explains that the judge is on the verge of REVERSIBLE ERROR for the 3rd time in the case, as she also assists Trump’s efforts to use her case to block the trial scheduling of the DC and Georgia cases.'
UPDATE 73
With a continued position that he is immune to prosecution because he can do no wrong, tRUMP is insisting that he truly is above the law and has absolute immunity. CASE DISMISSED!
tRUMP insists they are his boxes, and says he meant to take classified documents and wished he had taken more, and that he could flush them, and use them as scrap paper to-do lists. And besides, you let him get away with all of this shit, so this is just one more thing:

WTF?
WTAF?
Two previously locked rooms in MaraLardo were not searched by the FBI even though their search warrant WARRANTED such a search. The FBI is saying that they did not know about the rooms but dammit, thy should have done a more thorough search.
It was the Miami office that conducted the search and many FBI love them some LOSER45 so who The F knows why not.
Speaking of the documents and a sexual predator...
I hate that this is only coming out now... to take away from tRUMP ( and from sources in the know who are likely doing it on purpose, being it is from tRUMP WH 'Residency ...)

Trump's Disclosure of Nuke Sub Secrets to Billionaire Could Sink Him
https://www.meidastouch.com/news/trumps-disclosure-of-nuke-sub-secrets-to-billionaire-could-sink-him
Trump told Pratt about an airstrike on Iranian militants in Iraq before it made the news
Trump said he then received an enraged phone call from the president of Iraq
Trump said his infamous 2019 phone call to Volodmyr Zelenskiy was 'nothing' compared what he usually does
Pratt said that Trump knows how to straddle the line between bending the law and breaking it: '[He] gets so close to it... that is looks like to everyone that he's breaking the law'
Earlier this month, it emerged that Trump had told Pratt about the capabilities of US nuclear submarines during a candid conversation in Mar-a-Lago

Sept 8: It is hilarious that CNN has been hammering into the public that there is a new 'breaking' story that Yuscil Tarveras had flipped when that was covered in the Aug 1 UPDATE #68. I am trying to Boycott CNN, but they are embedded into my Youtube timeline with 4 videos on the subject, FFS... Man, they suck!
Sept 7: tRUMP's original lead attorney on the classified documents case, Evan Corcoran, made audio memos after having conversations with tRUMP about the DOJ subpoena and possible subsequent FBI involvement. He warned tRUMP in person at Mar-a-Lago, and soon after, 'Corcoran got his own warning from another Trump attorney: If you push Trump to comply with the subpoena, "he's just going to go ballistic," Corcoran recalled.'
The reason for the audio tapes was because what tRUMP was asking him to do and repeatedly asked him to do was illegal, which is also why a judge ruled this was proof of a crime and no longer attorney client privileged. (CYA in other words)

Yuscil Tarveras flipped last month as soon as the judge recommended that he get a lawyer that was not recommendd by tRUMP's team. As a result, he mmediately recanted his precious statements and provided information againt tRUMP and Nauta. The result was the superseding indictment...

Superseding indictment.

July 31, 2023, There are new video surveillance tapes and the DOJ was "kind" enough to snip the footage to highlight specific events! I wonder what those are? And at the end they remind tRUMP et al that people have flipped and after the arraignment of the property manager Aug10, there will be transparency revealing anyone paid or cooperating. (To them not us...) https://t.co/e8q1P9ZFG7

Aug 4, Judge Cannon made multiple errors in an earlier trial in June.
She is a moron!! If she doesn't know what she is doing she should have a freaking cheat sheet in front of her. The case is of a man running a website with images of child sex abuse; she had better not have messed up his being incarcerated!

tRUMP reposted this threat which also contained his campaign logo for 2024 and a short, vile threatening message.
“If you f*ck around with us, if you do something bad to us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before.”
Is he calling on his military snipers? His Proudboys? His Oathkeepers? His loyal government people who can screw with computers, checques like social security, the grid and who knows what else? He threatened and almost succeeded with January 6... He is a stochastic terrorist that should be in jail, not running for president again, FFS! *ADDENDUM: The clip has been found to be from an interview with fellow asshole Rush Limbaugh speaking about Iran, but the 2024 campaign logo and him reposting it just as he gets a Jan 6 target letter and has to decide if he will testify before a Grand Jury is not a coinicidence... The threat cannot be about Iran and the judge should MAKE him testify to ask as it could just as well be a threat against him and the jury.
It also mirrors this threat that his "passionate" MAGA minions will be dangerous if there is jaol time, spoken in a thinly veiled word salad threat said in tRUMP code...

Oathkeepers chat leak:
ProPublica identified Clampitt and 47 more state and local government officials on the list, all Republicans: 10 sitting state lawmakers; two former state representatives; one current state assembly candidate; a state legislative aide; a city council assistant; county commissioners in Indiana, Arizona and North Carolina; two town aldermen; sheriffs or constables in Montana, Texas and Kentucky; state investigators in Texas and Louisiana; and a New Jersey town’s public works director.
ProPublica’s analysis also found more than 400 people who signed up for membership or newsletters using government, military or political campaign email addresses, including candidates for Congress and sheriff, a retired assistant school superintendent in Alabama, and an award-winning elementary school teacher in California. https://www.propublica.org/article/oath-keepers-in-the-state-house-how-a-militia-movement-took-root-in-the-republican-mainstream
Leaked Oath Keepers Data
A synopsis of those they targetted and became members: 373 currently serving LEO (Law enforcement); 1,100 retired LEO; 81 currently holding/running for office; 117 current U.S. military; and the number of retired veterans is ... at least 30 times that.
‘The Oath Keepers did not just draw supporters from the professions they explicitly targeted. Also included in the membership list were religious figures, teachers, civil engineers, and government employees. Some individuals reported holding top secret clearances or had jobs that gave them access to critical infrastructure such as nuclear facilities. Many of these individuals have roles that make them trusted members of the community who are theoretically in positions to influence people or access sensitive materials or sites.’ https://www.adl.org/resources/report/oath-keepers-data-leak-unmasking-extremism-public-life

May 20, 2024 tRUMP’s classified documents trial
Here is her schedule:
Calendar call in this matter will be held on Tuesday, May 14, 2024, at 1:45 p.m. in the
Fort Pierce Division. The case is set for Jury Trial in the Fort Pierce Division during the two-week trial period commencing on May 20, 2024.
https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flsd.648653/gov.uscourts.flsd.648653.83.0.pdf
Fort Pierce Division is tRUMPY and small, so the number of choices for a jury are limited. The courtroom is tiny. The press will make sure that they look bad as they overrun the area. Nevermind that the majority will be the "independant hournalists" being paid by oligarchs and the GQP,,,
Agreeing with tRUMP's attorneys for the delay:
“This is a CIPA case, which although on its own may not be a fact warranting designation of this case as complex under the Speedy Trial Act, strongly counsels in that direction here given the substantial quantities of classified discovery, anticipated CIPA briefing and the need for Defendants and the Court to adequately review the classified discovery under appropriate safeguards and following resolution of pending logistics,” Cannon wrote. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/07/21/trump-trial-date-classified-documents/

tRUMP has advised Judge Cannon that he, the defendent, expects her to dismiss the case
A judge who has spent only days in federal criminal courtroom, is inexperienced, inept and politically biased, who has not only refused to step down for obvious conflict of interest and in the past having made up new laws to protect the person who put her into her lifetime appointment... remains in the position to be able to sabotage the most important criminal case in recent US history... whereby a former president is on trial for espionage and 37 counts.

The bitch is back.... and this is a horrible start.
Judge Cannon makes an order in the Trump CRIMINAL CASE denying Smith being able to keep the 82 witnesses names hidden. So tRUMP cannot speak about them, but the public/Q/fake militias/ MAGA minions can harass, threaten, bribe, hurt, intimidate via their families?
Witness intimidation from a criminal like LOSER45? Roy Cohn trained him well. Look at those who have turned on tRUMP and quickly changed their minds...
