When a nation is in peril it takes a great statesman to stride forward and offer a path through the crisis.
The danger is that those lousy dims might suggest that there is a partisan motive for this proposal.
For shame.

Bullshit. And even if you repeal it, that won't help Trump. He committed the crime when it was a crime.

Standing order for declassification.....No "crime" on Trump's part at all.

In fact Garland may have more crimes to answer for by and by. ;)
Yesterday NPR had an expert on that explained how no Trump can't do that with highly classified information. There's a process for declassifying information. Otherwise Putin or Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud get their hands on it.

Please do your own research, don't parrot NPR.

As Picard used to say;

Make it so

And so it was done. Only a God or Emperor can do so. America fought the evil Brits for the freedom to do so. Only Donny realised this and the rest are playing catch up.

Sounds like he thinks Trump is guilty, already, and wants to do anything possible to get him off the hook, including legalization of espionage in the United States.
 
Free to not pay any federal taxes as the Constitution was written. Corrupted judges in the past made sure we pay our taxes. And there are hundreds of them that add up.
Let's see the new right wing supreme court rule that not on abortion.

Some people are saying that Rand is a bit dodgy himself. I cant comment on that,its just what some people are saying.

Why repeal the espionage act? Why now after Trump violated the act?

Club members, staff and hundreds of guests at wedding receptions, fundraisers and parties could have had access to top-secret information.

“Just the retention of highly classified documents in improper storage — particularly given Mar-a-Lago [with] the foreign visitors there and others who might have connections with foreign governments and foreign agents — creates a significant national security threat,” former Department of Justice official Mary McCord told Reuters.

Remember you guys accused Clinton of shit like this? I don't think it was ever proven true. What we do know is the government asked Trump to turn this stuff over and he refused. Why?

“Just the retention of highly classified documents in improper storage — particularly given Mar-a-Lago [with] the foreign visitors there and others who might have connections with foreign governments and foreign agents — creates a significant national security threat,” former Department of Justice official Mary McCord told Reuters.


FBI agents on Monday removed 20 boxes of documents with 11 sets of classified information and some top-secret information from Mar-a-Lago, according to the warrant and property receipt used by the FBI to conduct the search.
The top-secret information is supposed to be held only in a secure government facility. The Washington Post reported that some of the classified documents involved information about nuclear weapons, which was a key reason for the urgent search.
In light of his cache of government documents, Trump is under investigation for possible violations of the Espionage Act, which prohibits Americans from spying or mishandling defense information, including sharing it with those not authorized to receive it, according to the warrant.

Trump has a reputation for being sloppy about handling sensitive information. He blurted out highly classified information about a planned Islamic State operation to Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov and ambassador Sergey Kislyak during a meeting in the Oval Office early in his presidency.
U.S. officials told The Washington Post that Trump’s disclosure jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State.


The Saudi's gave Jared $2 billion dollars recently. Nothing shady here ladies and gents.
 
Expect the worst when the reason is uncovered for why Trump was keeping the top secret documents.

The FBI/DOJ's course is clear that this is the final and ultimate attempt to bring down Trump without bullets. America is in great peril due to Trump and Trumpism.

It's ok Tommy. You've got some dodgy assholes in political life of your country too, so you know how it is. If it will help, I'll say it for you, as I don't like him anyway. Rand is a piece of shit, not true to his supposed libertarian stance, while supporting republicans like trump for popularity. He can't even get along with his neighbors. Lots of thinking people, do not think much of Rand and try to think of him as rarely as possible. Like a spoiled child, I like him best when he is sound asleep.
