    Former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago golf club property manager appeared in a federal court in Florida on Monday for the first time after the Justice Department named him in an investigation of Trump's handling of classified documents.

    The case against Trump added Carlos De Oliveira as a co-defendant for allegedly hiding security camera footage from federal investigators. He is also accused of helping Trump aide Walt Nauta move boxes of classified material around Trump's Mar-a-Lago property after the Department of Justice issued a subpoena seeking the materials.

    De Oliveira is facing several charges related to the Trump classified documents case, including conspiracy to obstruct justice; altering, destroying, mutilating or concealing an object; corruptly altering, destroying, mutilating, or concealing a document, record or other object; and false statements and representations, according to CBS.

    "The Justice Department has unfortunately decided to bring these charges," Attorney John Irving said, according to CNN. "Now it's time for them to put their money where their mouth is."

    Prosecutors in special counsel Jack Smith's office filed the charges in a superseding indictment last week, which could carry a maximum sentence of up to 20 years in prison if convicted, Just the News reported.

    According to The Associated Press, De Oliveira did not enter a plea on the four criminal charges he faces because he has not yet found a Florida-based attorney who could represent him.

    A judge ordered him to turn over his passport to the court and sign an agreement saying he could not leave Florida without prior authorization and would face a $100,000 fine if he failed to appear in court.

    Although De Oliveira heard the charges and received pre-trial orders, POLITICO reported the court could not fully arraign him after being unable to find legal legal representation authorized to practice in the South Florida district.

    His arraignment is scheduled for Aug. 10 in Fort Pierce.

    Prosecutors had been reportedly investigating De Oliveira for months over his communications with Mar-a-Lago IT expert Yuscil Taveras, who oversaw the surveillance camera footage at the property.

    The indictment laid out the following interaction between De Oliveira and Taveras, who is only identified as "Employee 4," on June 27, 2022, saying that "the boss" wanted the server deleted after Trump's team had already received a subpoena for the surveillance footage.

    Trump, co-defendant Walt Nauta, and De Oliveira were all charged in the new superseding indictment in connection with an alleged attempt to delete surveillance footage at the property. Both Trump and Nauta have pleaded not guilty to the charges in the case.

    Steve Cheung, spokesman for the Trump campaign, reportedly said the superseding indictment filed last week is "nothing more than a continued desperate and flailing attempt by the Biden Crime Family and their Department of Justice to harass President Trump and those around him."

Was it a judicious ploy for Joe Biden's FBI to execute the unprecedented raid of President Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate?
  Yes; the Cheneys despise this former Republican president, and for good reason ... so they say.
  No; never has a former president been treated with this level of vindictive abuse by those temporarily in power.
  Who cares? It's Trump.

Understanding that this fragile Republic of the self-governed is in a precarious space in our nation's vast history: What is your honor bound patriotic duty in helping to sustain the continuance of these United States of America?
  I will depend on my Democratic Socialist politicians to continue to march hard toward the Left to provide Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for all who think and do as they are told.
  I will defend the Constitution of the United States of America, and support all elected leaders who pledge to protect and insure the continued sovereignty of this Representative Republic.
  I am very concerned about maintaining my current life style without working. I was told that as long as I vote Democrat, I had nothing to worry about ... but now I worry.

The persecution. . . err. . . prosecution of President Donald Trump has not a darn thing to do with race, except to those loons who think everything has to do with race. It has everything to do with political abuse of our legal system to weaponize it politically for partisan power. It is just like Putin or Stalin in Russia or Hitler in Germany. Guess what happened to their political adversaries? Biden is running the same playbook.

Stan, and you don't think it either. Clutch your pearls all you want, you know I'm right.

Big Bob: Your commentary here is of a Leftist cliché artist, speaking Leftist power to whatever is faddish and popular with people in arbitrary agreement with certain fashionable talking points, those people who could never understand what is real for those of us who could never care about the shallow water trends that live "rent free" within the simple minds of Leftists.

Pointing out that the variety of cultures experience life in America differently is not race hustling. Nobody thinks a white billionaire and and a poor person of color gets the same treatment in our justice system. Nobody, not even you JS.

For race hustler Bobbie, everything is about race. In this case that is a smokescreen to cover the rabid abuse of our judicial system to try to destory political opponents. Biden's America is beginning to resemble Stalin or Putin's Russia or Hitler's Germany. The Georgia case shows they are now expanding their net over who they are going after, and thepurpose of that is to intimidate anyone who stands against them. How does America spell KGB? Either F-B-I or D-O-J.

Why is it that Leftists are so rabid when it comes to the parroting of their institutionalized, and now corporate issues, as their pathetic and collective political souls are owned by the corporate Left?

The charges against Trump are political charades, much like what Putin does in Russia to his political opponents. Biden is no different from Putin, But the long list of people charged is also appalling, including the Georiga GOP chairman, a Constitutional Law prfessor and law school dean, and a host of others. Mark Meadows was charged for just contacting someon to get a phone number. These witch hunts are un-American and nothing but a seies of Stalin Show Trials. Democracy will soon be dead as a dodo in the USA if this crap continues.

The former president Trump is nothing but a crook !!! He should be locked up for everything that he has done.
