From The Washington Post:

One of the Justice Department’s most experienced national security prosecutors has joined the team overseeing the intensifying investigation of classified documents at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home and private club, people familiar with the matter said. National security law experts interviewed by The Washington Post say prosecutors appear to have amassed evidence in the case that would meet some of the criteria for bringing charges against the former president — an unprecedented action that they said likely would only happen if the Justice Department believes it has an extremely strong case. David Raskin,who served for many years as a senior federal prosecutor in New York City, and more recently has worked as a prosecutor in Kansas City, Mo., has been quietly assisting in the investigation into Trump and his aides, according to the people familiar with the matter, who like others interviewed for this article spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe an ongoing investigation.

x This move suggests DOJ is seriously considering criminal charges. In light of apparent aggravating factors, it would be hard to decline charging this case when ordinary government employees get charged for less egregious conduct. https://t.co/e2RHYxfmRJ — Barb McQuade (@BarbMcQuade) October 28, 2022

According to NatSec law experts, including the great Barbara McQuade, Raskin’s hiring strongly suggests that a certain evidentiary threshold has been reached in the case, one in which charges are very likely.

This is encouraging news, despite the fact that TFG should already be behind bars. The DOJ is clearly dotting all its i’s and crossing all its t’s. After all, it isn’t every day that charges are brought against a former President of the United States.

Godspeed to Mr. Raskin and everyone else on this slam dunk of a case. Please arrest TFG ASAP.
