Reports are circulating that federal prosecutors are about to ask a grand jury to indict former President Donald Trump over his handling of classified documents after leaving office. If those reports are true, and prosecutors do move against Trump, it would be the first time in American history that the government had prosecuted the leading opposition candidate. It would also destroy public faith in the rule of law and voters’ trust in democracy.
The documents charges are incredibly weak, from what has been reported publicly thus far. The president has full declassification authority, and there is no formal procedure for declassifying documents. Breathless claims of “national security” secrets, even nuclear codes, being brought to Trump’s estate at Mar-a-Lago turned out to be fantasies. Prosecutors may fall back on charges of obstruction of justice, which seem to be just as speculative.
The double standard is glaring. The Department of Justice let Hillary Clinton evade charges relating to her handling of classified materials. In that case, she kept an illicit private email server in her own home (possibly to hide corrupt fundraising efforts for the Clinton Foundation), erased it, and had her staff smash phones on which her emails were stored, rather than turning over the data and documents to the Department of State.
President Joe Biden himself, who called Trump’s handling of classified documents “irresponsible,” took files with him when he left the Obama administration.

I did say “should.”
Odds of happening 0.00000000000000001
fwiw The two impeachments were not mentioned one time during the 2020 campaign.
I don’t know why he would be the approved opposition candidate?
it took collusion of almost every industry and institution plus rampant cheating to beat him vs the GOP that won’t rally around him no matter the egregiousness.
Trump being kind is what got him in trouble.
Good GOD , WE ARE NOT A DEMOCRACY....We are a representative REPUBLIC. Word’s have meanings...Andrew Breitbart is turning over in his grave (I believe he was murdered) over the claptrap out of his site since his demise. Again for all the brainwashed .. We ARE NOT A DEMOCRACY. We are a representative Republic...BIG DIFFERENCE. Do not let them control the language.
You nailed it.
You swamp people better get familiar with the

No quarter will be offered PERIOD!
When the hell are patriotic Americans that actually have a working brain cell (not Democrats and RINOs, obviously) and know and see what the communists, our enemy within Democrats, are doing....
going to rise up and finally say ‘enough is enough’ re: this obnoxious and blatant tyranny and government over-reach?
Obama’s ongoing fundamental transformation of America into AmeriKa needs to be brought to a rather screeching and abrupt END. By any means necessary.
Our founders, forefathers, parents and grandparents didn’t put their lives, their fortunes and that of their families on the line for this BS. Too much blood has been spilled ensuring our freedom in this nation for us to just roll over and play dead and dumb.
What...the....hell is wrong with most Americans now? Has there been a massive mind-control experiment success? One has to wonder.
I agree, throughout the entire campaign Trump used the phrase “lock her up” and instead of getting that b*tch locked up, what did he do “Oh I just want to let it go, for the good of the country’ WTF ya think the Dems will be that nice to Trump LOL they want the man in a coffin and pronto..Trump was too nice and it cost him and he should have had Judge Jeanine as his AG, she would have prosecuted Clinton in the span of a week flat..yeah yeah I know, she is on Fox News, so what, she is a former judge and she would have nailed Hillary’s ass to the damn wall
I dare them to do this. I don’t think it will turn out the way they expect. Even many Dems will see thru this political bs and not approve. I mean this is ridiculous banana republic stuff.
Question: If the documents are classified, how do you prove it to a jury? They don’t have clearance.
As for Trump, who gave so much in a country filled with decadent and evil Democrats and selfish RINOs....
When a good man is hurt, all who would be called good must suffer with him.
Euripides.
The Chris Christie story from 2016
I would add that Christie has been a Bush lackey for years, going back to when he was first appointed as the U.S. Attorney for the New Jersey District by George W. Bush in 2001. There's no way in hell he would have done a damn thing about Hillary Clinton's crimes.
Maybe mostly peaceful protests result.
This writer himself has just assisted in destroying the public faith in the rule of law because he doesn't know our form of government.
He even associates the rule of law with democracy when the rule of law is rightly associated with the Constitution which established our Constitutional Republic.
Can people see what is being done? /rhetorical question
They won’t just indict. Given venues in DC and Miami they will convict. Not sure trumps worthless lawyers can do much against jury nullification.
Those paragraphs are from the article.
“Playing with fire” implies at least some chance of getting burned. I don’t see how that would happen.
Agree and add that IF they nail Trump they will all be PUMPED to GET all Republican Nominees from now on or until the federal government collapses which, one way or another, it ultimately will.
