This is very not good.

Federal authorities have charged a longtime aide to Donald Trump whose responsibilities included moving and carrying cardboard boxes in which the former president kept mementos and papers, Trump announced on social media Friday. The criminal case against Trump for alleged obstruction and mishandling of classified documents case is expected to be overseen at least initially by Judge Aileen M. Cannon — the federal judge in Florida who last year appointed a special master in the case and temporarily halted FBI access to classified documents taken in a court-approved search.

After the FBI searched Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s home and private club in Florida, Cannon ruled in his favor last year when his legal team argued that he retained his executive privileges after leaving office and, therefore, had the right to shield at least some of the documents from review.

A conservative-leaning appeals court later struck down her decision. But her ruling temporarily blocked the Justice Department from reviewing the seized materials, slowing down the investigation.

This is one reason why Trump and his cronies worked so hard to install judges he owned across the federal court system — to help him evade consequences for his crimes.
