Trump Is Now on the Hook for 32 Counts of Mishandling Secret Documents - Lemmy.world

Only 32?

So far. The problem is classified docs cases are very difficult to prosecute because everyone involved needs the clearance to view the evidence. Some documents he compromised may be so high level, it would be worse to grant clearance to a jury than to let him walk.

That’s how bad this is. 30-something charges are likely the best we can do.

If Saudi Arabia can see them, then 12 US citizens can see them too.

We can assume at least some of these documents compromise allies as well.

It’s not usual for the US attorney general to visit The Hague, but Merrick Garland did last month, and there’s been talk in diplomatic circles that trump severely damaged relations with the US’s allies.

We’ll likely never know the worst of this.

We can assume that trump texted selfies in the bathroom mirror of him holding all of it already to his defense team.
