'Stand with Trump' becomes rallying cry as Republicans amplify attacks on US justice system
apnews.com

Moments after Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to federal charges that he hoarded classified documents and then conspired to obstruct an investigation about it, the Republicans in Congress had his back. Trump's mounting legal jeopardy has quickly become a political rallying cry as they rush to stand by the indicted former president. Many Republicans say they haven't fully read the 49-page indictment against Trump. But they are adopting his grievances against the federal justice system as their own. It’s an example of how Trump has transformed the Republican Party that was once the party of “law and order,” but is now attacking the very justice system at the foundation of U.S. democracy.

It's not just that BIden and Pence cooperated. It's that they didn't steal classified docs to begin with. We already know Trump had been sharing secrets with people to impress them.

This, or, he was using them to wipe his greasy ass. you can never really be sure what goes on in his head....
