honestly not sure how you didn't know about any of this stuff, it was like, a huge deal.
As an American, I can tell you this is my first time seeing this... and I actively seek out information. Just joined lemm.ee and it's already paying off.
if you literally did as much as google "trump document case" and find like, the wiki page, these would've been on it. There's an entire timeline page for the documents case iirc.
In their defense, trump & co were doing their absolute best to flood the media cycle with outrageous shit at the time to intentionally overshadow all of this, and the media was following him like rabid puppies.
It wasn’t that hard to miss the details of this at the time unless you were obsessively following the stories in side channels (like me), sifting through the bullshit and going down rabbit holes and reading 800 page court filings, and that could fuck up your mental health. Many people didn’t have the time or capacity for that.
This all happened at the same time as the inquiry into J6, too, which itself was an unprecedented and massive story, overshadowing much of the other treason.
That whole time period was mentally exhausting. I’m saddened and frustrated many people missed the importance of this story, but I do understand.
These pic were common knowledge during his trial, i saw them everywhere
I am not American and wasn’t as invested as the rest of you (Americans). Mystery solved. I knew that he shared classified material and that was it.
Did you read about the last Bundestag debate? It was like a huge deal.
not being american certainly checks out.
Not familiar with the bundestag debate, more so concerned about every single action the US executive branch taking being entirely illegal and having no standing at all, myself.
