FWIW, I expect Trump is going to announce another run tonight at 7:30PM EST (or maybe it is 9PM). I don't think he would have included both Kari Lake and MTG if he was just going to forestall or decline. Also, I think he might as well make any further harassment of him a more direct POLITICAL issue.

With the D.C. Beltway awash in rumors that former President Trump will be indicted after the Nov. 8 midterms, the FBI may have “set a perjury trap” at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home, according to his former national security adviser, Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn.
In June, the FBI suspected Trump hid classified papers from his presidential collection that it had subpoenaed on behalf of the National Archives, which sought them after Trump left the White House. Two months later, agents raided Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, seizing more than 11,000 documents, of which fewer than 1% were marked classified.
Now a federal grand jury is investigating whether Trump and his aides conspired to conceal the documents from agents and made false statements when certifying they produced all of them.
Flynn told RealClearInvestigations that the FBI and DOJ are using semantics to target Trump.
Flynn points out that FBI agents in a May 11 subpoena asked Trump for all documents in his custody “bearing classification markings,” as opposed to classified documents, which he says was a carefully worded distinction designed to trip up the former president.
The FBI declined to comment.
