BREAKING: ANOTHER LEAK: Washington DC Grand Jury to Indict Trump on Espionage Act, Obstruction Charges

ANOTHER LEAK!

The Washington DC grand jury hearing evidence in Jack Smith’s classified documents case against Trump is going to indict the former president on the Espionage Act and obstruction, according to a leak to The Independent.

The Florida grand jury on Thursday indicted Trump on at least 7 charges.

..... Snip......

The Independent has learned that prosecutors are ready to ask grand jurors to approve an indictment against Mr Trump for violating a portion of the US criminal code known as Section 793, which prohibits “gathering, transmitting or losing” any “information respecting the national defence”.

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 ten years in prison.

That’s the plan. The DOJ and Biden don’t want the country brought together. A unified nation terrifies them.

Now who’s delusional? Whether we all think Joe or Hillary got away with it this is a serious indictment. To pretend otherwise is silly.

Bzzz Bzzz just like the weekend before that big court appearance in NYC.

People need to focus on Biden’s very real crimes.

Ok. How can 2 juries hear the same evidence develop 2 entirely different sets of charges?

You guys are so simple minded. It IS possible to be angered by both.

You and I are on the same page.

This is a “united we stand” moment quickly moving towards a “do or die” moment.

Oh, stop with the continued insults—it’s all you’ve got. That, and belief in your own intellectual superiority. I wasn’t saying you said that.

That’s how you wrote it.

Don’t act all contrite. Learn how to express yourself more clearly.

I’m not being contrite—especially not with you—I would not waste my time.

If Biden is treated the same way as Trump, he will be in The Super Max Prison in Colorado for 5 Million years! That would be with his reprobate son, Hunter.
Guilty of more crimes, Biden must be charged.

For those who were worried about Biden’s crimes and the deserved weight of JUSTICE, causing a “Constitutionial Crisis,” it is here.

The P_resident is a crook. His openness to bribery has enabled him to live large.
He deserves “Super Max!”

Trump has approximately the same chance of getting a fair trial in the District of Corruption as a black man accused of raping a white woman in 1952 Alabama.

Nothing will stop the harassment of Present Trump by these communists. Nothing until he is dead.

Sick over what is going on in the County I’ve loved my whole life. Watching tyranny increase on multiple levels of government, cultural rot and Marxism take hold. This isn’t going to end well for anyone.

I agree. Not sure why the American Flag is still being flown. Nostalgia I guess 😢
