Multiple Connecticut delegates are responding to the news of former President Donald Trump's indictment.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal said that "no person is above the law," and Trump should be punished because it doesn't matter how powerful a person is.
"A grand jury has decided to charge former President Trump after an intensive investigation lasting many months. Our justice system has an obligation to pursue the facts and law wherever they lead. Former President Trump will have the same rights as any criminal defendant and the justice system will presume him innocent until proven guilty.”
Representative Jim Himes (D-4th District) also issued a statement about the indictment, calling it a serious matter.
“Having been a Member of the House Intelligence Committee for more than10 years, it is my experience that classified information is generally classified for a good reason, namely that the unauthorized disclosure of information can compromise sources and methods, damage our national security, and cost lives. For that reason, the removal of classified material from a secure space is an exceptionally serious matter, made all the more serious if the individual responsible for its removal does so intentionally and discloses the information to outside individuals."

Excellent point.
Only the brain dead believe any of this crap. The scary part is the system knows this and they don’t care.
We know. They know we know. We know they know we know. And so on. And it doesn’t make any difference.
RE: Almost all democrat thugs are above the law.
Right. We’re supposed to overlook that so they can be sanctimonious hypocrites. No dice.
We’re going to remember each one that got away with something.
Really?
What about Hillary Clinton (who the FBI let off)?
I guess members of the deep state aren’t persons then.
Mr. Stolen Valor schools us on the law.
Quotes from Wikipedia:
Himes was born on July 5, 1966, in Lima, Peru, to American parents. His father, James R. Himes, worked for the Ford Foundation in Lima. His father was also the director of the UNICEF Innocenti Center, a research institute on child development in Florence, Italy. His mother, Judith A. Himes, was until recently the director of board activities for the New Jersey Board of Higher Education in Trenton.
In 1995, Himes began working at Goldman Sachs as a banker in Latin America and New York. He was eventually promoted to vice president.
Himes was appointed commissioner of the Greenwich Housing Authority in 2002, and served for two years as chairman of the board.
Himes was also an elected member of the Greenwich Board of Estimate and Taxation and chaired the Greenwich Democratic Town Committee.
The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence gives him a 100% lifetime score for his support of more gun regulations.
Himes voted against H.R. 2397, which was to defund the NSA domestic phone metadata spying program.
In 2016, Himes lobbied the Electoral College to refuse to vote for Donald Trump and to instead elect Hillary Clinton. On December 12, 2016, in an interview on CNN’s New Day, he said he was troubled by several of Trump’s actions. The issue that “pushed me over the edge” was Trump’s criticism of the CIA and the intelligence community.
