CNN says Trump has been indicted on seven federal counts.
And Trump announced it as well.

One hopes that this time Federal security staff are better prepared than they were on January 6, 2021.

So the only way I can process this right now is to relate it to my work.
At my job, one of the most stressful things I can hear is the robotic voice from the computer that says "escalation incoming."
That means that something has gone terribly wrong, and the person a level below me has "noped" out of the situation, and it's up to me to try and fix what caused them to smash the "escalate" button.
I suspect that folks who were recently very proud of themselves for launching the Christie and Pence Presidential campaigns just hit the "escalate" button.

Well … The Secret Service is scrambling:
“Nobody anticipated this was coming,” said one security official.
WTF? EVERYBODY anticipated this was coming.

CNN now says at the same link that one of the charges is conspiracy.

Guess what judge got assigned the case. Judge Aileen Cannon. You might remember her as the District Judge appointed by Trump that got a legalized version of a spanking from the appellate court from earlier in this saga.

So… if she dutifully dismisses the case can it be un-dismissed by a higher court?

The DOJ can reassign the case.

Before. She can be forced to recuse herself.

Trump aid Walt Nauta has also been indicted. I have absolutely no sympathy for him. Anyone who worked for Trump who didn't notice that people associated with him eventually end up in prison gets what they deserve.
ETA And two of his attorneys have resigned.

She should have been removed from her duties as a Judge after the appellate court tore her ruling to shreds.

Two of Trump's lawyers quit the document case. They about to be indicted or are they fleeing?
Did a comedian write that?!
Dude, we are sure he will be acquitted, we ain't even gonna bother being involved in the process and will help save him some money. We look forward to seeing him at our disbarments.

No reason for sympathy, if the reports are true, he was very willfully committing crimes here.

B-b-but … she will get the first crack at it unless she is removed before Tuesday. And I don’t see how that can happen.

Yeah, I don't think even Cannon can save him. And with her as judge and a favorable jury pool, makes it all the harder to complain about bias, though they will. Waiting for Trump to wail that a fourth cousin of Cannon voted for Bill Clinton once.
