Prosecutors Have Evidence that Trump Showed Classified Docs to Others

[HipKat]

Espionage Act charges have been mentioned by a legal expert as prosecutors have gathered evidence that Trump sometimes showed classified documents to others and kept them in a place they were visible to others in his office.

In a damning and well documented report in the Washington Post, we learned today: “Prosecutors in addition have gathered evidence indicating that Trump at times kept classified documents in his office in a place where they were visible and sometimes showed them to others, these people said.

Taken together, the new details of the classified-documents investigation suggest a greater breadth and specificity to the instances of possible obstruction found by the FBI and Justice Department than has been previously reported.”

Even during his presidency when Trump treated Mar-a-Lago like a “Winter White House” he kept no visitor logs or other system of tracking visitors. Forbes has documented a few of the thousands of visitors through a compilation of photos shared and other means, showing a range from conspiracy theorists to former European Parliament member Nigel Farage , Ray J and the former general who pleaded guilty to lying to investigators Michael Flynn (not a great person to be seeing classified documents), Roger Stone who the government accused of undermining the Russia investigation by lying about his communications with Wikileaks, intimidating a witness, and more was found guilty of seven felony counts but later pardoned by Trump, and also in addition to the usual suspects of Republicans and conservative activists were the son of Brazil’s president Eduardo Bolsonaro and Lee Dong-sup, who was a member of South Korea’s parliament in 2018. Representatives from Brazil, South Korea and Russia – check.

The list is not comforting, especially from a man who made a “joke” about his bigger “red button” just last night.

Over this incredibly disturbing news, former Special Counsel for the Department of Defense and co-editor-in-chief of Just Security Ryan Goodman wrote, “I expect this will result in Espionage Act charges. Dissemination is key.”

“The reported facts are now far beyond just an obstruction case. Willfully disseminating to third parties is also easily distinguishable from Pence, Biden, other instances in which DOJ has declined to prosecute (eg Alberto Gonzales),” Goodman continued.

In the next tweet, he highlighted an excerpt from this breaking news, “A second employee who help Walt Nauta move boxes into storage room a day before FBI visit on June 3.

The next day… “the employee helped Nauta pack an SUV ‘when former president Trump left for Bedminster.’”

Goodman pointed out a section saying the DOJ has “evidence that even before Trump’s office received the subpoena in May, he had what some officials have dubbed a ‘dress rehearsal’ for moving government documents that he did not want to relinquish,” from which he concludes the following two charges are applicable:

18 USC 1519 – obstruction
18 USC 793(e) – willful retention

People familiar with the situation told the Post reporters that “Smith’s team has concluded the bulk of its investigative work in the documents case and believes it has uncovered a handful of distinct episodes of obstructionist conduct,” one of which occurred AFTER the August 8th FBI search.

Donald Trump has denied all wrong-doing in the classified documents case, even claiming during a March Fox appearance that he had “the right to take” classified documents with him to Mar-a-Lago and in his recent CNN town hall when asked if he had shown the classified documents to anyone else, said, “Not really… I would have the right to… not that I can think of.”

In reality, intentionally disclosing classified information without authorization is a federal crime under the Espionage Act, hence Goodman’s mentioning of it in this case. Punishment can be up to 10 years in prison or even charged with treason.

Trump has labeled this investigation a “witch hunt.”

I have no doubt Trump revealed a lot of secrets to Putin.

He deserves a firing squad.

Let's stop it, you know this is just more bullshit Lawfare that will do nothing. Do you really think this will get any resolution? Trump is in the clear but, however, there were people who were the former VP that know they're getting a big pass because they're on the right side of the hand greasings.

Weak sauce WaPo.

You been conned man, sad thing is you're too ignorant to realize it. Trump lied over 30,000 times while in office and I'm willing to bet you believed everyone of them. SAD!

Trump is in the clear?? The guy who bragged about breaking the law is in the clear??

Remember the old saying, Don't do the crime if you can't do the time?

Weird how MAGA crimes don't deserve any time anymore.....

It's just more whistling past the cemetery. We both know that nothing will happen but it will give you the excitement headlines which is what they want. Sorry buddy.

Any truth to the rumour that Very Wide Ass moved to Florida and now runs this hot dog stand?

Pfft.

I also heard that Donald left the toilet seat up on several occasions during his time in the White House.

[micknaboz]

I'm still stunned how many ignorant people are still defending Trump.

Remember the 5,000 times you claimed Trump is this and that, or that he did such and such and would be going to prison and you missed?

This is yet again another instance where you are running along with your media masters and their TDS because you think you have a chance to get your boogeyman.

You do not, and you will not.

Sorry

Remember said that Trump was 100% certain that he was in on Russian Collusion? What happened to that? He is wrong for almost 7 years of fairy tales. It's a joke at this point. Give it up @HipKat

[micknaboz]

Trump is a traitor who the Russians did in fact aid in getting elected, and mueller would have proved it if Trump didn't have him fired.

He deserves a firing squad, just for stealing classified documents.

But I'll settle for seeing him in a wheelchair with spittle running down his chin.

Do we know that or do you just refuse to accept it could happen. I said it a few years ago, Trump is too toxic. They want him, they're coming for him and they'll get him.

You don't slam agencies like the FBI, DOJ, CIA, etc over and over without becoming a target. Trump is in the moment, those Agencies are not going anywhere

5000?? No. The things I brought up are coming around now. Don't go looking for razor blades when the convictions start.

Wrong, I DID say at first that nothing happens in the campaign without him knowing and I still think he knew but kept himself separated from it all. but there WAS knowledge of Russian interference, there WERE contacts between Russian agents and the campaign and the REPUBLICAN LED Senate investigation confirmed it.

Sure right... the GOPe? The Decepticons that hate Trump? People like Romney, Ryan, McConnell, and Graham? Those people? Those guys are friends all on the backstabbing DC Champagne Dom Perignon party circuit look out for cash. As for the Alphabet Agencies, have they done any thing for domestic security? Like real ones like maybe 9/11? Anything? All I see is failure and a lot of fake plots in the headlines that never stop anything. Look at this one:

About much as Hillary in prison, it's another big fat chance. Neither of them ever see a cell so don't fool yourself.

You cannot possibly be serious. Do we want to list the crimes that Trump is accused of and compare them to a list of crimes that Hillary is accused of? I think the ratio will work out somewhere like 10:1.

This is why we can’t can’t get along with this, because your side refuses to deal in realism.

We know what Donald Trump’s crimes are, because we can see them. He brags about some of them. We’ve heard the audio and we’ve seen the video. We can pull the numbers.

What actual crimes do you have on Hillary? That they’re is actual evidence of?

They absolutely do live in an alternate reality, where they take a quote, twist it, add some, delete some, then swear it’s the whole truth 🤣🤦‍♂️! LOST CAUSES!!
