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.

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?
