    And from the bird site:

    Federal prosecutors have notified Donald Trump that he is a criminal target and likely to be indicted imminently in a probe into alleged classified documents – even as the Justice Department declined to delay charges to give time to investigate allegations of witness tampering submitted by the former president’s legal team, according to multiple people on Wednesday familiar with the case

      The guy making that tweet does not appear to be a journalist, and for the source for this he linked to this article on Just the News, who I’ve never heard of before and, based on another article from the same author on their home page that looks like it’s trying to spin a lot of evidence free allegations about Biden being involved in a bribery scheme with Ukraine as evidence that Biden actually was involved in a bribery scheme with Ukraine, does not seem like a good source

      The Independent is a solid publication with a good track record of truth telling though, so I don’t doubt this story (and thank you for posting it!), but these links look like some grifters trying to legitimize themselves by hopping on to a real news story while it’s hot

        I have heard of “Just the News”, having seen it linked to often on the right-wing site FreeRepublic.com. Now, while that says nothing for its legitimacy, I think it means something for a right-wing site to post a story that is such bad news for the right wing. Normally they spin or deny or flat make shit up to counter reality. If even they are saying it’s happening, maybe it really is finally happening.
