Carlos Deoliveira, Mar-a-Lago’s head of maintenance, allegedly drained the pool at Mar a Lago and flooded the room that housed computer servers with the surveillance video logs, has been charged and added to Donald Trump’s criminal case re classified documents. He appears now on the Trump-Nauta docket. Four counts against De Oliveira - three preexisting (33, 40, and 41) and a new one, 42. The MAL indictment was already extraordinarily serious, but these additional charges exponentially increase the gravity of the crimes.
Attempted destruction of evidence (up to 20 years in prison) and the sharing of Top Secret documents with others even more clearly distinguishes this case with Biden, Pence cases. Prosecutors sought to eviscerate 2 of Trump's recent claims about the documents case — that he eagerly shared security footage and that he didn't show anyone an Iran war plan — adding charges that sharply increase his legal peril.
Trump didn't use a cloth or bleachbit, but prosecutors obtain new indictment & new charges accusing him of seeking to erase Mar-a-Lago security camera video server after grand jury subpoenaed it last June. A new 60-page superseding indictment has been filed by Jack Smith, not only adding Carlos De Oliveira as a defendant, but also adding multiple NEW CHARGES against Donald Trump, including the alteration, destruction, or concealment of evidence.
The new indictment says Trump also had this Iran document at Mar-a-Lago, not just Bedminster New Jersey. Needs to say that for venue on that count. Smart move since now that Trump tape can now clearly come into evidence. It was a classified document that exists. And Trump retained and shared it, per the new Indictment.
The Iran attack plan document listed as new Count number 32. TOP SECRET//NOFORN.
Trump asked "Trump employee 4" to delete security camera footage at Mar-a-Lago to prevent investigators from obtaining it, according to the new charge.
Trump, who is already facing 37 criminal charges, was charged with one additional count of willful retention of national defense information and two additional obstruction counts. Trump has repeatedly, emphatically pointed to his provision of security footage to investigators as evidence he has nothing to hide.
Trump was charged with willfully retaining a top-secret document about possible Iran attack plans, which he discussed with biographers during a taped meeting at Bedminster, New Jersey, in July 2021, according to the indictment.
The indictment says the document was a “presentation concerning military activity in a foreign country” and that Trump “showed” it to the biographers during the meeting. Jack Smith would use that Iran attack plan document to bring the simplest case reasonable near Bedminster and get that before a judge there (so not Judge Aileen Mercedes Cannon). She (Judge Cannon) could still delay his Florida trial until after the election.
Investigators for special counsel Jack Smith repeatedly pressed De Oliveira to explain his actions from June 2022, when he helped Nauta move boxes around Trump’s home. Investigators pressed De Oliveira to explain his actions from July 2022, when he allegedly had conversations with others about security camera footage.

-prada- Adi Mulia Pradana is a Helper. Former adviser (President Indonesia) Jokowi for mapping 2-times election. I used to get paid to catch all these blunders—now I do it for free. Trying to work out what's going on, what happens next. Arch enemies of the tobacco industry, (still) survive after getting doxed. For me, justice is a difficult dream, because (ex) my friend, hundred, cooperate each other, to kill me and my mom. Don't let the bastards get you down, Prada, some my close friend support me. If Kevin Spacey and Johny Depp finally free from accusation, maybe next is my chance.
Now figure out, or, prevent catastrophic situations in the Indonesian administration from outside the government. After his mom was nearly killed by a syndicate, now I do it (catch all these blunders, especially blunders by an asshole syndicates) for free. Writer actually facing 12 years attack-simultaneously (physically terror, cyberattack terror) by his (ex) friend in IR UGM / HI UGM (all of them actually indebted to me, at least get a very cheap book). 2 times, my mom nearly got assassinated by my friend with “komplotan” / weird syndicate. Once assassin, forever is assassin, that I was facing in years. I push myself to be (keep) dovish, pacifist, and you can read my pacifist tone in every note I write. A framing that myself propagated for years.
(Very rare compliment and initiative pledge. Thank you. Yes, even a lot of people associated me PRAVDA, not part of MIUCCIA PRADA. I’m literally asshole on debate, since in college). Especially after heated between Putin and Prigozhin. My note-live blog about Russia - Ukraine already click-read 4 millions.

To get the ones who really appreciate your writing, and now prominent people appreciate my writing, priceless feeling. Prada ungated/no paywall every notes-but thank you for anyone open initiative pledge to me.
