Biden Justice Department Pursuing Espionage Charges Against Trump
The New American ^ | August 13, 2022 | Steve Byas

The Biden Justice Department evidently wants to send former President Donald Trump to prison, with the revelation on Friday that the unprecedented raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate earlier this week was personally approved by Attorney General Merrick Garland in an effort to secure evidence that Trump had violated the Espionage Act. Violation of the Espionage Act is a felony that is punishable by imprisonment or a fine, or both.

Not since former Vice President Aaron Burr was unsuccessfully prosecuted by the administration of President Thomas Jefferson has such a formerly high-ranking public official faced such legal jeopardy. While it is almost routine in some other countries for a government to hound a defeated foe with the criminal justice system, this has not been the case in America — thankfully.

With the release of the warrant, we know that the FBI claimed to be looking for evidence of removing or destroying records; obstruction of justice; and violating the Espionage Act. Failure to return national security documents can constitute a violation of the law. There does not have to be any act of delivering to, or intending to turn those documents over to, a foreign power, as was the case with State Department official Alger Hiss, who was a spy for the Soviet Union during the early years of the Cold War. Hiss had been a close advisor to President Franklin Roosevelt, was a key player in the establishment of the United Nations in 1945, and gave Soviet agents secret government documents.

It is reported that federal investigators believed there was grave concern that the documents in Trump’s possession were a serious threat to national security. Agents seized more than 30 items and more than 20 boxes, including information about the president of France and photographs.

Calling having some records from his own administration “espionage” could not be any more outrageous.

Grasping for straws is a very poor strategy when already in over your head. And that is what the DOJ and the Joe Stolen/”Que mala” Harris regime have been reduced to.

Nothing so far precludes Donald J. Trump from seeking the nomination for and election to the Presidency of the United States in 2024. No matter how much the teeth-gnashing and angrily seething anti-Trumpers wish and hope for that outcome.

I love to see this kind of wholly ineffective meltdown among the Establishment and Deep State. They flail, and they fail, a swing and a miss every time.

Clintoon lost our nuclear codes for months!

HOME MILITARY & DEFENSE:”

Bill Clinton once lost the nuclear codes for months, and a ‘comedy of errors’ kept anyone from finding out!

The codes needed to launch a US nuclear strike are supposed to be kept close to the president at all times.
A department within the Defense Department is tasked with overseeing all aspects of the nuclear-launch process, including the codes.

During Bill Clinton’s presidency, officials from that department discovered the codes had gone missing.

“The Biden Justice Department evidently wants ...”

First sentence tells that the headline is click bait.

The communists are on a seemingly never-ending roll...
There does not appear to be any substantial efforts to put them down like the rabid dogs they are...

Just imagine the reaction that these communists would have put into the streets if Trump had orchestrated a raid on “his holiness” the kenyan usurper...

No wonder these communists conquered the U.S. so easily...
Even, in 1940, the french resisted the germans better...
