He will not see jail.

Jmo & I hope I'm wrong!



Ps - Why did they allow tfg to sit on these documents for more than 1.5 years if they are so important to national security?

8. Even TFG is entitled to a fair investigation, charges that can be proved, and a fair trial.

Those things take time, but it looks like it could happen.

6. That's at least one crime. What are the odds we'll see a lot more?

I'll wager those top secret documents were being shopped to foreign governments.

Probably from the day Lavrov showed up in the Oval Office. I'm sure that was the purpose of them leaving the WH.

20. Except that excuse went out the window when the FBI asked for them back.

They told him the docs were still classified. At that point, he could have feigned ignorance and turned them over. That probably would have ended it.

But no.... he just had to double down on the crime (a crime that became a felony in 2018 with his signature.)

Idiot.

12. I think Trump stole any high value item that he could while in the WH.

I think the boxes with docs were just part of the haul.

If it wasn't of the highest classification, they wouldn't have bothered with a search warrant. They'd still be negotiating.

I can't even imagine the arrogance required to steal such material and then keep it even after being subpoenaed for it. And THEN act all butthurt when the feds finally come in to take their property back!

19. Isn't this from February?

Yesterday's assertions about what was being reported on MSNBC was quoting the February statements about classified information.

ETA: Link to NYTimes report about February:

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/09/us/politics/trump-classified-records-timeline.html

Sometime after receiving the boxes, the National Archives discovered what appeared to be classified information within the documents Mr. Trump had held onto and flagged the incident to the Justice Department for guidance. The agency publicly confirmed on Feb. 18 that it had found documents marked as containing “classified national security information” among the boxes.
