Things are moving in fast for former President Donald Trump. Sure, many publications go full-clickbait with 'the walls are closing in on Trump,' and they've been doing that for years. However, Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney said three sections of the grand jury's report on election meddling in Fulton County would be released Thursday. The judge said in his ruling that the report includes recommendations for "who should (or should not) be indicted, and for what," but that those parts would remain sealed -- for now.

Politico reports that former vice president Mike Pence is preparing to resist a grand jury subpoena for testimony about Trump's push to overturn the 2020 election.

Special counsel Jack Smith is now going after the big fish, and that explains why Lumpy is so triggered this morning. Sometime after 1:00 in the morning, Trump took to Truth Social and posted, "WITCH HUNT!!!"

And then, he woke up to continue his Trumper tantrum.

"Many of the so-called "documents" that the "Gestapo" took in the Raid of Mar-a-Lago, unlike the" No Raids of Biden," were merely inexpensive and very common folders with words such as "Presidential Reading," "Confidential," "Classified," or other words stamped on the front cover," he wrote. "There was nothing inside of the folders because, during meetings where information was passed out, say at the Oval Office, when finished the papers inside were taken back, but the empty folders were left behind….."

"Page Two: I would put them in a pile and keep them as momentous. Nothing wrong with that, but sounds to me that the Injustice Department views these as DOCUMENTS - They are not!" he added. "These people are just out looking for trouble! Should be checking Biden's unsecured classified docs instead. How about the 1,850 Boxes sent to Delaware. That's the mother load! Or separately, how about revealing who spied on my campaign, stuffed the ballot boxes, or paid off the FBI? That's what people want to hear!"

That's not how it works. The presidency no longer protects Trump. He refused to give the documents back. As it happens, an aide to Trump had copies of classified documents on a laptop located outside of Mar-A-Lago. They copied the classified documents. That's the real laptop from hell!
