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.

Projection... Thy name is the Biden Administration.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Projection is their “go to” strategy
As I understand it the Espionage Act doesn't require that the documents be classified.
Whose side are you on?
I, for one, am VERY trying but it's getting more difficult by the day. At this present rate that the Biden administration is crumbling America WWII is eminent.
Pretty convenient that they can claim “national security” on all of the documents to prevent them from being released. Remember the Vallery Plame case, where it was an open secret in the DC cocktail circuit, but suddenly top secret when Clinton was embarrassed by the story.
“I’ll chase him round Good Hope, and round the Horn, and round the Norway Maelstrom, and round perdition’s flames before I give him up. And this is what ye have shipped for, men! to chase that white whale on both sides of land, and over all sides of earth, till he spouts black blood and rolls fin out.”
DemocRATS are Captain Ahab, and Trump their white whale.
Not ours.

When was the last time they prosecuted someone in the top tier of the Executive Branch with those charge?

LOL. You want to continue to think the declassification matters? Feel free.
Whatever gets you through the night.
I prefer to face reality.
Hell, I think I saw him fly the first plane into the North Tower on 9/11. Jumped out just before it hit. I saw the parachute land on Trump Tower. Espionage? COME ON, you slackards in the Justice Dept! Let’s get on the ball, ‘fer cryin’ out loud!
I heard the FBI asked that the surveillance be turned off before the search. Who knows what they did or said, thinking it was all private. Why do they need surveillance video when they were the ones being filmed? Rhetorical question...
Biden: That's nothing. You guys keep moving the rooms in the White House during the day to confuse me. That's why I didn't make it to wherever you put the rest rooms today. At least Jill knows where she keeps those nuclear code things. I think.
They want a Republican sweep this fall and for Trump to have the best possible chance of being elected in 2024. :)
The reality is the ‘20 election was stolen, the Demrats are desperate and this attempt at railroading Trump is bogus on the face of it.
If you can make one, I’ll manage to ping you. Does that work?
Grasp...grasp...grasp....grasp....will they ever run out of straws?
