Espionage Act charges It's about time considering there are photos circulating publicly of him sharing U.S. secret documents with officials in foreign countries (e.g. China)...sharing them at a gathering in Mar-a-Lago. The above is what we publicly know but I strongly suspect the expected Espionage Act charges is because of other stuff he's done that we do not know about just yet. wrbtrader
Mark Meadows who was Trump’s Chief of Staff has accepted a plea deal and will cooperate with Federal prosecutors in the case against Trump.
Well then you get DeSantis vs Biden. Navy JAG lawyer becomes the President. What is it about Trump that makes Dems want to hurt themselves?
The use of Section 793, which does not make reference to classified information, is understood to be a strategic decision by prosecutors that has been made to short-circuit Mr Trump’s ability to claim that he used his authority as president to declassify documents he removed from the White House and kept at his Palm Beach, Florida property long after his term expired on 20 January 2021. That section of US criminal law is written in a way that could encompass Mr Trump’s conduct even if he was authorised to possess the information as president because it states that anyone who “lawfully having possession of, access to, control over, or being entrusted with any document ...relating to the national defence,” and “willfully communicates, delivers, transmits or causes to be communicated, delivered, or transmitted or attempts to communicate, deliver, transmit or cause to be communicated, delivered or transmitted the same to any person not entitled to receive it, or willfully retains the same and fails to deliver it on demand to the officer or employee of the United States entitled to receive it” can be punished by as many as 10 years in prison.
Let's face it, nobody would bet their life this isn't real. Probably not even the last slice of pizza.
I have said it before but though I'd seen a few narcissists who were game hunting in Africa I never quite believed they did completely irrational things until my daughter was a tweenager, very tall and the pedo creeps were eyeing her despite me being right there and them thinking nothing would happen to them. Their desire to break taboos is not especially about the act itself but in their minds they are powerful as they do things others don't and that makes other men inferior. He may have been trying to grift the Chinese or whoever but just as likely he was being edgy for his own perverted pleasure.
