They've got him this time, goflboy.

They've got him. 

Believe me, I feel their pain. I went snipe hunting SEVEN TIMES - in a field known for snipes. Never bagged one. 

I accidentally shot my guide, so now, I never WILL bag a snipe. I'm persona non grata with al the snipe hunting guides hereabout. They used to love taking me out - now they run from me. 

To add insult to injury, I met a homeless guy who said he finds snipes all the time, just laying around. 

It means a lot to these fruitcakes to believe they've got him this time. Just tell them, of course you do, Pookie - of course you do.

I think you've truly got him this time, pooh bear.

But be honest. Grant me this much:

Trump would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for those meddling kids.

Well, once was enough, but once isn't enough to penetrate the ignorant skulls of most on the right.  

So, repetition might help.

A Critical Look at Navy v. Egan 

A 1988 U.S. Supreme Court decision known as Department of the Navy v. Egan has often been interpreted to support broad presidential authority over national security generally and over access to classified information in particular.  Along with United States v. Reynolds, Curtiss-Wright, and a few other cases, Egan is regularly cited in support of strong, even unchecked executive authority and judicial deference to executive claims.  It has become a cornerstone of national security law as practiced today.

During his campaign before the 2016 election, Trump said:

“In my administration, I’m going to enforce all laws concerning the protection of classified information. No one will be above the law.”

"We can't have someone in the Oval Office who doesn't understand the meaning of the word confidential or classified."

Trump admitted that he had documents he didn't classify, and admitted they were secret to persons
without security clearances.

He expressed to his lawyer 'wouldn't it be better if we told them there were no documents?'.

Trump obstructed the govts efforts to retrieve national defense top secret documents.

He hid them from the FBI and his own lawyers.

They were placed in restrooms, shower stalls, open ballrooms and storage rooms.

Over 150 weddings and events have been held ad Mar A Lago since Trump left office.

He revealed them to persons without security clearances.

The indictment, in excruciating detail, reveals the criminal disregard for security the nation's secrets.

https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap ... 53.3.0.pdf

Such are the aggravated circumstances relating to national defense documents which is the DOJ's policy
is to prosecute.

Neither Pence nor Biden did this. As long as Senators and Exec branch personnel with documents cooperate fully with the govt for their return, DOJ's policy is that they will be given the benefit of the doubt that they were acquired inadvertently. It would require aggravated circumstances to warrant prosecution, as is the case with Trump.

Any other person who committed the aggravated acts Trump committed would have been arrested, book, tried, convicted and incarcerated.

Reality winner got 5 years for just revealing to the public just one document.

We cannot have a commander in chief violating the Espionage Act with the kind of aggravated circumstances that have been committed by Trump.

No magistrate will automatically sign off on a warrant to search the home of the former President of the United States. 
Your claim defies logic. when Judges exhibit partisanship, they get smacked down on appeal. 

Suck on this:

Unlike you, I actually HAVE read the law.  And quoted it here. 

I'll do it again:
Title 1, Section 1:  That (a) whoever, for the purpose of obtaining information respecting the national defense with intent or reason to the believe that the information to be obtained is to be used to the injury of the United States

First thing the law says.  You don't even have to read far, which proves you didn't read it at all. 
Good luck proving Trump wanted to hurt America.

Your comment seems to discuss a broader legal context rather than the specific charges against Donald Trump. So, I'm a little curious as to your point?

The "Specific" charges are FULLY addressed in that ruling by the SCOTUS!! The PRESIDENT has BROAD AND UNLIMITED AUTHORITY TO DECLASSIFY ANYTHING AT ANY TIME AND IN ANY MANNER HE CHOOSES, ****!!!

Which FULLY addresses the BOGUS **** he's been charged with. You can't bring charges against a President or EX PRESIDENT when he states "I declassified it". PERIOD!!

Interesting, golfboy, 

You wrote:

Well, I'm reading it to the letter and it doesn't actually say that.  It does not explicitly require the prosecution to prove that Donald Trump intended to harm America. Rather, it sets forth the elements of the offense, which include the intent or reason to believe that the obtained information will be used to the injury of the United States or the advantage of a foreign nation.   

That's just it, right there, it's open ended, it doesn't specify 'by whom',  it could be anyone. The DNI damage assessment would have to do with the likelihood foreign operators got a hold of the information, due to the lax security and over 150 weddings and events held at Mar A Lago since Trump left office. 
 
So, in essence, what it really says is that it requires Trump to be aware of the damage it could do if it got out and into the hands of enemies, simplifying it and taking out the legal jargon. That's a far cry different than your claim.

Yes it does.   Title1, Section1.  They have to PROVE that Trump INTENDED to harm the United States. 
You can try to spin this all you want, but it's right there, in black and white.  

Sorry.  I know how that pops your little pink balloon.

You really can't read worth spit.  What it says is that it requires Trump to be aware of the damage it could do if it got out and into the hands of enemies, simplifying it and taking out the legal jargon.  It just doesn't say what you think it does.  Legal jargon is tricky, but, that is what it says.  Sorry. 

And, there are other charges, Prosecutors would have to prove that Trump or those around him knew what they were doing was wrong and that they did it anyway and there is plenty of evidence of that. .

Epic fail.

Barbara McQuade, former US Attorney says: 

One key element of breaking this law is intent — “that the defendant had reason to believe the information could be used to the injury of the United States or to the advantage of any foreign nation,” McQuade said.

That corroborates my point.  You are wrong.

Now, ****, here is YOUR problem. The DEFENDANT doesn't have to PROVED ONE DAMN THING!!

The PROSECUTION has to FULLY PROVE INTENT to have ANY case under your claims!! So whatever "Barbara" said is FULLY A MOOT POINT without PROOF!!

Now that SUCKS for you, huh??

Are you really that stupid?  

No, the Espionage act DOES NOT DEPEND ON ANY CLASSIFICATION REGIME.

More likely it will depend on DNI damage assessments.

PSssst. ****.

The PRESIDENT IS NOT SUBJECT TO ANY "classification regime" of ANY KIND AT ANY TIME.

DNI "assessment" is a POLITICAL document, and NOT LEGAL you STUPID ASSWIPE!!
