Nah. He’s rich, everyone knows he’s rich, and he has (new bunch today) lawyers in abundance. So no handcuffs, no jail time until after all the upcoming appeals, if then. Now imagine for a moment that he had a state appointed lawyer, black skin and no political connection. He’d have been in jail within minutes of when the warrant was served, as a “flight risk”.
But at least he’s been indicted by a process that’s not purely political, so I may hope he’ll be annoyed for as long as it takes to get it to SCROTUS where I’m reasonably sure, the fix is already in.
We should be cheering for a state indictment of guilty with a hefty block of long term incarceration…a guilty fed prison term can be pardoned by some future repug POTUS. I’m betting that a red state repug governor would also pardon the orange scuzzbag. But maybe he has made too many enemies at the state level…so maybe no pardon…keeping my fingers crossed… LOCK HIM UP!!! LOCK HIM UP!!! LOCK HIM UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY!!!
Make sure you take his passport and ankle bracelet him at the very least. Taped recordings prove he knew he shouldn’t have had secret docs. Showing them to visitors has blown his lies wide open.
One thing we have on our side is Dummy #45 doesn’t take the advice from his lawyers; he is so stupid that he admits to his wrongdoings publicly but denies that they were wrong because “he is above the law”!!!!!
He will “obviously” not be the Republican nominee and I can’t imagine anyone giving him enough money to run a viable campaign, hopefully he will run as an Independent and split the vote. May he wallow in humiliation.
Reality Winner got 5 years for stealing one classified document under the Espionage Act. Who could’ve known lifetime criminals like Trump & Jared wouldn’t sell classified intel in broad daylight to Mohammed bin Salman for 2 billion dollars? And where is the classified document about Iran?
Trump will not be locked up anymore than others of the political hierarchy like the Hildabeest. Sorry to spoil the dreams leftists.
Hopefully he will be rendered ineligible to run for POTUS however, or enough voters will sour on him. The field will be freed for a new generation to run against the feeble, cognitively impaired Biden, who can’t remember the word “pilots” at the Air Force Academy of all places.
Distressingly, his ardent supporters can only see their completely innocent, anti-establishment hero being assailed by his treacherous political opponents and the nefarious, conniving deep state with their politically-inspired indictment.
One Republican said when he is in jail and elected president he will pardon himself. Republicans think this way as treason and trying to overthrow the government aren’t crimes to them!! Laptops and the FBI on the other hand are heinous crimes.
Sadly, we will be denied this again. As, justice may be coming for him, but it is treating him far more kindly than most, if not all other criminals tried for far lesser crimes.
Former President Donald Trump’s disrespect for the security of classified information really amounts to a disrespect for the men and women behind that classified information who put their lives on the line for the country, argued former Bill Clinton Secretary of Defense William Cohen on CNN Friday.
This came after the release of the 37-count indictment against the former president secured by special counsel Jack Smith.
“When you read the transcript of the former president saying to a room full of just people who were there to hear from him and suck up to him, none of whom had security clearances, saying, you know, this is highly confidential, it’s secret. This is secret information. Look. Look at this, and showing them a document,” said anchor Anderson Cooper. “I mean, did you ever imagine a president, or somebody who had been president, would do that?”
“Well, Anderson, I felt that he was unfit to be president, unfit to be commander in chief, from the very beginning,” said Cohen. “I felt that initially and I didn’t vote for him, and I spoke out against him because I saw his character shining through, how he criticized John McCain not being a hero, how he embarrassed a reporter who had a disability, how he actually criticized a Gold Star family during a convention.”
I’ll believe it when I see it. Indictments have come down but $10 says he never faces any federal conviction for the documents, let alone the attempted coup
Asia Janay Lavarello, 32, was sentenced in the U.S. District Court for the District of Hawaii on February 10, 2022, by Chief U.S. District Court Judge J. Michael Seabright to three months of imprisonment and a $5,500 fine for knowingly removing classified information concerning the national defense or foreign relations of the United States and retaining it at an unauthorized location. Lavarello had pleaded guilty to the charge in July 2021.
According to information produced to the court, Lavarello, a Department of Defense employee, removed and retained numerous classified documents, writings, and notes relating to the national defense or foreign relations of the United States without authority. While working as an Executive Assistant at the United States Indo-Pacific Command in Hawaii, Lavarello accepted a temporary assignment working at the U.S. Embassy in the Philippines. There, Lavarello had access to classified computers and documents, and attended classified meetings as part of her official duties. Court documents list several specific instances in which Lavarello mishandled classified material of the United States.
Reality Winner, Former N.S.A. Translator, Gets More Than 5 Years in Leak of Russian Hacking Report
Reality Winner, the former Air Force linguist and intelligence contractor who pleaded guilty in June to leaking a top-secret government report on Russian hacking, was sentenced on Thursday to five years and three months in federal prison.
Ms. Winner, 26, is the first person to be sentenced under the Espionage Act since President Trump took office. Prosecutors said her sentence was the longest ever imposed in federal court for an unauthorized release of government information to the media.
She was arrested in June 2017 and was held for more than a year while prosecutors built a case. She pleaded guilty in June 2018 to one felony count of unauthorized transmission of national defense information, for giving a classified report about Russian interference in the 2016 election to a news outlet.
Prosecutors said on Thursday that Ms. Winner’s actions merited a stiff sentence.
“Winner’s purposeful violation put our nation’s security at risk,” United States Attorney Bobby L. Christine told reporters after the sentencing in federal court in Augusta, Ga. He said the report she leaked revealed sources and methods of intelligence gathering, and its disclosure “caused exceptionally grave damage to U.S. national security.”
There are some out there that are trying to say that Biden “had” Trump arrested, much like Putin, Stalin or Hitler would have done to a political enemy.
This is beyond ridiculous, it is stupid. Especially when these same people turn around and accuse Biden of being weak, foolish, and suffering from dementia. Which is it? Is Biden a James Bond Arch Villain or not?
There is NO US president with that kind of power. Trump himself THOUGHT he did, which is why he’s in trouble now.
If Biden were really, truly able to make such a thing happen Trump would not have spent the last two years in his own filthy, sweaty, fart filled bed in his home. He’d have been in a cell somewhere, locked away, after a show trial.
Biden is just a guy. A guy who has to follow the rules of his office. Everyone, even presidents have to follow the rules. A lesson Donald Trump has yet to learn.
On August 24, 2018, President Donald Trump tweeted, “Ex-NSA contractor to spend 63 months in jail over ‘classified’ information. Gee, this is ‘small potatoes’ compared to what Hillary Clinton did! So unfair Jeff, Double Standard.” Winner expressed appreciation for Trump’s support, saying, “I can’t thank him enough.”61 Titus Nichols, Winner’s lawyer, called the tweet “bizarre” and that it was just Trump “taking aim at Jeff (Attorney General Jeff Sessions)”.62 On August 31, Winner said that she would ask Trump for clemency as a result of his tweet, adding that her legal team was already working on her pardon application.
Let’s look at the Biden cabal with the same lens that studies the Trump. I can’t believe that the liberal press will get behind such an activity. Persecute the right and turn a blind eye to the left has been the norm for the past several years.
Trump says ‘Crooked Joe Biden’ is ‘probably worse than Hillary ever was’ at North Carolina rally
Donald Trump claimed Saturday at a North Carolina rally that President Joe Biden and the Democrats are “downright crooked,” and that he is retiring the “Crooked” moniker from Hillary Clinton.Trump, who spoke in Georgia for the first time since being hit with a federal indictment before heading to a speech scheduled in North Carolina, said the purported corruption within the Democratic party is “why we now call him Crooked Joe Biden.”
Trump does not appear cognizant that he could get up to 150 years in prison on the document case alone.
