Per an FBI warrant obtained by the outlets, Trump is also being investigated for violating additional statutes relating to obstruction of justice and destroying federal government records. Conviction under these statutes can result in imprisonment or fines.

We know as a matter of common knowledge and demonstrable fact that Hillary, Obama and Biden have violated the espionage act on frequent occasions. The act cannot be brought to bear on the presidency, however, since the president is the arbiter of what is classified and what is not.
Just one more witch hunt.

No Court would convict Presiden Trump for Espionage.

So you've never heard of the DC courts?????

The ones that throw the book at tiny infractions committed by Republicans, and can even have Democrats on the jury that brag about sending republicans to jail, but at the same time ignore any real law-breaking by Democrats?

TRUMP is one of the few PATRIOTS that we currently have in office.

The Biden clan sold us out across the globe.

Don’t be surprised if more raids take place. The J6th committee wants to conduct their own raid, as well as the New York State Attorney General. Obviously the FBI will be sent back in to conduct these raids.

The ceaseless campaigns against Trump from 2016 on is a sight to behold. We all know the goal is to prevent the American people from having the choice of where to choose Donald Trump once again as POTUS. That’s why they had the Russia hoax, multiple impeachments, set up Jan 6, now we have the document “gate.” It’s all been about demonization to undermine support for his agenda. He’s not looking far off when he’s said it’s not about him it’s about We the People and he’s just in the way. They are ridiculous at this point.

The judge who okayed this raid is now probably having sleepless nights.

You forgot the /sarc tag.

Democrats/Leftists have no shame and sleep just fine at night.

Except the states could prevent him from accessing their ballots.

“Good luck proving that any president didn’t simply declassify any documents.”

They would certainly appreciate some kind of indictment/conviction but their main goal is to smear, tarnish, torment Trump and make him lose support among voters.

The projection is strong in the libs. If they’re going after Trump for this you can bet that Hunter is guilty if it.

Have you ever heard of the appeal process? All the way to SCOTUS if necessary....such a conviction would not stand.

Appeals take years to go through the system >>>>>>>>>>>>

yes, and the criminal punishment can be stayed, especially in a case like this one would be.

To take this to extremes any president who reviewed TS documents would have to be killed or given a lobadamy to make certain they would not give away secrets.

As far as that lobotomy goes, I think Biden is way ahead of you.

Better a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

Ronna McDaniels, McConnell and McCarthy have never mentioned this massive funding for a new Police Force

Maybe they approve of it.
