THE BIG ONE?

The warrant that allowed the FBI to search the former president’s Mar-a-Lago home reveals an unprecedented prosecution under the Espionage Act might lie ahead.

1. This is crap. The 1917 Espionage Act cannot apply to a President. Under Article II, first sentence of Section I, he is the executive branch.— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) August 13, 2022

2. He is free to do as he wishes with these documents, including deciding as president to remove them as he leaves office. I suspect former presidents have done so. Unless and until a subpoena is issued to search Obama’s various estates, we won’t know.— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) August 13, 2022

3. That said, this entire process is a subterfuge, as I’ve explained here, on radio and TV.https://t.co/3YHpzboTjC— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) August 13, 2022

Right. The Feds will allow docs they consider Top Secret to be disclosed during discovery?

what is it called when entities or persons try to destroy a President with false accusations and outright lies, thus putting the nation in danger? Sedition? Anarchy? a Dangerously Rogue government?

What a new level of in-your-face hypocracy would it be for Trump to even be arrested while Hillary goes free!

If Trump was/is inept at handling classified documents, and he was president for 4 years, then, democrats might want to indict Trump for being a careless president those 4 years, where he was able to handle all of our military and technology and economic secrets.

He had enough time and opportunity to give/sell top secrets to the enemy, and didn’t. However, Bill Clinton and Hillary and Obama, did give away our top secrets to the enemy, like selling missile technology to China under Clinton.

Let’s indict all presidents who get to handle our military and all our secrets.

It's impossible for a president or former president to violate the Espionage Act.

The stamp of the American electorate says so.

Now, in a banana republic, where the prosecutors should all be hanging from trees after a nice tune-up, this may be possible.

There is absolutely no evidence to indict President Trump, and here is not a Grand Jury in this country that would indict President Trump.

The only people that will be indicated are Garland, Reinhart, and every FBI agent involved in the unannounced raid.

The public will never understand #1. That they were classified is all they will hear. That 0bama has million of once classified documents that Hillary stole and exposed classified documents is heard by most as an “inside baseball” argument.

Trump, charged with the highest crimes in the land, will stand trial before a Jan6th tribunal, be convicted and go to prison.

WOKE commies would love for us to do something stupid...

This is easy - appeal to their greedy base - tell them they can HAVE IT ALL. IF they negotiate a divorce. Peacefully divide the country.

If it does, there will be a sudden vacancy or two on the right side of the bench.

Harold Ford / Fox had a different opinion whe Hillary lied and then tried to destroy her emails - including Classifed Docs.
