Trump lies.

Ok, good lets see the nuclear secrets?

Trump lies.

Trump is the most loathsome creature ever to inhabit the White House...and the damage he has done (and continues to do) to our Republic may never be properly repaired.

The people continuing to support him are fools.

Do you seriously believe what Trump says????

Trump might be under investigation for violating the Espionage Act

Trump does not have the power to unilaterally declassify America's nuclear weapons secrets.

Number two, they didn't need to "seize" anything. They could have had it anytime they wanted without playing politics and breaking into Mar-a-Lago.

It had been subpoenaed. That is a very forceful asking. trump refused to hand it over, even though he was legally required to. Even when they served the warrant, he could have just given them the combination to the safe. At every point, trump could have cooperated, but did not.

The bigger problem is, what are they going to do with the 33 million pages of documents, many of which are classified, that President Obama took to Chicago?

Obama's records are being stored in a NARA controlled facility in Chicago. Obama does not have control over the facility. They are being held there as it is worked out what records will be made public through the Obama Presidential Library. Even when in the Obama Presidential Library, they will still be owned by the US Government.

There has been lengthy negotiations in the case of Obama. Everything has been done 100% legally. Obama is not storing stuff in his bedroom closet, or offering to sell it on the blackmarket.

It appears after this federal and warranted raid of tRump's property as the first ever of a former so-called president, does not protect tRump from avoiding being held accountable, especially at allegedly violating the Espionage Act, Obstruction of Justice and giving aid and comfort to foreign enemies and the enemy from within which rises to treason. Kiss tRump's ass all you like but that will not help you in your own un-American and uncivilized hopes. Also repukes are known for being notorious and pathological liars:

The FBI seized classified material from Donald Trump in a search that has thrown US politics into turmoil, and court filings revealed the former president may be under investigation for mishandling government records and potentially compromising national security information.

Court documents unsealed by a judge Friday shed new light on Trump’s legal exposure in the latest of a string of investigations into his activities as a businessman, sitting president, and ex-officeholder and deepens his legal troubles on the eve of a potential third bid for the White House.

The list of information seized during Monday’s search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida includes documents that bore the US government’s highest top-secret rating, and prosecutors indicated they are exploring possible violations of the federal Espionage Act among other allegations. The FBI seized “TS/SCI documents,” which stands for top-secret and sensitive compartmented information, a government label for material gathered through sensitive intelligence sources or methods."

So he declassified material that the FBI would later plant on him? Now that is some damn fine foresight on his behalf. I am actually impressed.

[Cypress]

Apparently not.

Trump was just indicted on mishandling national security documents, obstruction of justice, conspiracy, and making false statements.
