Sociopaths....every. single. one. of. them.

1. The talking points change with the hours

This is a dynamic situation.

[Claustrum]

2. Espionage is mundane?

Mishandling classified documents are mundane? Then what exactly did they do from 2015 till now with "but her email"?

[rurallib]

10. I may be laughing for days over that bit of insanity

"Espionage is mundane"
oh crap

[Dirty Socialist]

3. Charlie Kirk

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

9. such a punchable face he has

11. His forehead has its own forehead

17. Charlie 'Possum' Kirk

Those beady eyes, so very close together.

[Caliman73]

20. The embodiment of the term "Failson"

That is the "elite" that conservatives would have us believe, hold the future success of our country in hand.

4. shouldn't she be taking her lawyers advice...

and shutting tfu?

She is quite literally as guilty as tfg.

5. Another cute blond dumbell. She's his type. nt

6. Not just criminals, but blatantly stupid

Jeopardizing national security and people’s lives with espionage and sensitive information isn’t mundane.

Would she be his lawyer if she didn’t look the way she did? We know he doesn’t think with brains, given they’re non-existent.

[Ocelot II]

7. Ask Aldrich Ames and Robert Hanssen how "mundane" the Espionage Act turned out to be for them.

Julius and Ethel Rosenberg are unavailable.

8. She should look up the potential prison terms...

they are anything but mundane.

[VMA131Marine]

12. The Trump team strategy, because it's the only option they have

is to try this case in the court of public opinion. They stand zero chance in an actual courtroom so their only hope is to make the prospect of indicting Trump and trying him in court so unappealing that DOJ won’t do it.
Personally, I think they are nuts. Trump’s only hope is to make a deal on lesser charges.

13. It looks like Charlie goes all out to look professional for his show

Did he roll out of bed 10 minutes before?

[Dirty Socialist]

14. Charlie Kirk will ram this down his listeners' throats

He will brainwash his rubes into believing it fervently, regardless of the sheer stupidity.

[underpants]

15. Okay like it's covered by The Presidential Records Act

She seems to be saying that because he WAS President and this involves records, he’s covered.

Uh

Specifically, the Presidential Records Act:

Defines and states public ownership of the records.

Places the responsibility for the custody and management of incumbent presidential records with the President.

Establishes that Presidential records automatically transfer into the legal custody of the Archivist as soon as the President leaves office. [5]

16. It's not like she's actually read the PRA

[underpants]

24. No doubt.

Trump is getting what he always pays for - 0

[Mr. Ected]

18. Because life in prison in a supermax facility is so...so...tiresome!

Yawn!

[peggysue2]

19. Mundane?

For God's sake, is that what Trump's lawyers are telling him, that this fiasco is . . . mundane?

Sorry, the two words in the dictionary that do not go together is 'Espionage' and 'Mundane'.

These attorneys are as bad as the Former Guy.

[Wounded Bear]

21. trump won't like that. He only does the best espionage...

[Jarqui]

22. The Rosenbergs were convicted under the Espionage Act of 1917. So was Gen Patraeus

Rosenbergs in 1953

General Petraeus in 2015
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/apr/23/david-petraeus-sentenced-sharing-classified-information

Many others before and since.

23. I wonder if the Rosenbergs would think these are "mundane" statutes?

I never did understand why they were given the death penalty, especially since they had two young kids. The other couple involved were sentenced to 15 years of which the husband served 9 and the wife none. I think they would have been more valuable to the country alive rather than dead. Trump, on the other hand... Nevermind.

26. *The Rosenbergs could not be reached for comment*

25. Yup. She's perfect. Seems to be an unlimited supply of rubes
