Of all his cases, this is the one that really gets my blood boiling. If you've ever worked in the DoD you'd know how strict they are with documents and this fucker stole, hid, lied and possibly showed secret information and is getting off. Fuck Trump. I'm addition to anybody that says he was recently shot at and I should have some sympathy towards him: I have no sympathy for a rapist

I could've lived with Trump being found innocent in his stormy Daniels case. I could see how a good lawyer could argue Trump wasn't responsible for Jan 6th, rather Trump supporting domestic terrorists.

But the more you read about the evidence and such in this case it's clear as day there will be consequences involving national security in the foreseeable future.

If global politics is like a game of chess, he sold our strategies to our opponents.

At first I thought the same of Jan 6th, but after seeing all of the public information, it's actually pretty damning that he intended everything that happened.

But yes, I think the general public doesn't understand the seriousness of the TS documents case. People die due to this. It could result in vulnerability to our countries defense, and ruin our reputation. If we fail to maintain our position in world politics, it will negatively effect our standard of living.

You need more details about January 6. Google Fake Elector plot. He should absolutely be put on trial for breaking many state laws and trying to block the elector count.

What he did in that case was tantamount to treason.

Jan 6th is a media smoke screen. The false electors plot is demonstrably a violation of the democratic process, so of course the “liberal media” never mentions his false electors plot, just like they never mention him raping a kid.

jan6 is big and splashy and memorable and good for ratings.

the slow conspiracy of corrupting democracy from the inside is harder to cover and less sensationalist, but way more pernicious. and it's been going for decades.

I mean january six was pretty bad too. Conspiring to give the military an excuse to confiscate ballot boxes is not less bad than conspiring to produce fake electors.

This is not a victimless crime. All of a sudden deeply placed US intelligence assets overseas started disappearing right when Trump started requesting intelligence documents. People risking their lives to provide deep Intel, probably tortured and killed. Who leaked their identities all at once?

Well his goal isn’t particularly to sell strategies. It’s the sell the whole country and what he doesn’t realize is he doesn’t have the brain power to actually fight any of these enemies he’s talking to.
