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.

Read just now they want Trump to spend 500 yrs in prison..500 yrs, heck why not 50,000 yrs, or 100,000..meanwhile Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, George W Bush, Obama, Biden, they all did MUCH MUCH worse and got away with it and are flaunting it
Strange how there always leaks from the DOJ about Trump’s investigation, but never about Biden’s.
North Korea is not this bad.
America is done. It’s over.
The USA is really done for. Massive civil unrest is unavoidable now.
The Democrat/Communist Party wants whatever it takes to prevent the American people from re-electing Trump. Whether it be a 500-year prison sentence or a heart attack from the relentless stress that does it, it simply doesn’t matter in the evil hearts of the America/American-hating Democrat/Communist Party.
It should be obvious now
The 4th branch of US government, the permanent security state, has emerged - and its the most powerful one.
Keep piling ‘em on boys.
In the end, none of this will stick and Trump will be more popular than ever.
Seven ways to Sunday.....................
This doesn’t stop with us voting democrats out of office somehow.
It’s bad.
Dictatorship.
It’s obviously forum shopping because they do not like the judge in Florida. This matter could not possibly warrant 2 grand juries in 2 cities it’s absurd.
“In the end, none of this will stick and Trump will be more popular than ever.”
Um, corrupt judge can do whatever the Hell they want.
ESPIONAGE, MY ASS! He’s the FIRST PRESIDENT SINCE REAGAN THAT LOVES LOVES AMERICA!
That’s because Special Counsel Hun isn’t even investigating Biden.
Because there is NO FREAKING BIDEN CRIME FAMILY INVESTIGATION!
The charges are all bogus, of course. But I think the chances are pretty darn good that they will stick. The prosecutors here are evil, but they are not stupid.
They’ll have just the right judge ready when the time comes.
America the banana republic - what a country!
You mean from the right? Don't make me laugh! Conservatives seem to have other ideas other than saving the republic.
