Should Trump go to jail for mishandling classified information?

[rightwinger]

And they did find classified material on her unsecured server, but the excuse given was she didn't know any better. Trump can use the same excuse.

Well?
What about Hillary?

Trump swore he would prosecute her if elected. He controlled the Justice Dept, he fired Comey and replaced him with a handpicked head of the FBI.
Republicans controlled the House and Senate and Hillary testified seven times under oath.
In the end, they found nothing

Trumps turn

but the excuse given was she didn't know any better. Trump can use the same excuse.

Read the OP

Trump DID know better
“In my administration, I'm going to enforce all laws concerning the protection of classified information. No one will be above the law."
He was elected because of Hillary’s mishandling of Classified information

He swore he would elevate the handling of Classified data and personally signed the bill making mishandling a Felony

He should have known better but obviously he didn’t care

 

[Independent thinker]

Comey fully investigated the data breach and Hillary testified under oath before Congress

Shouldn‘t Trump do the same to clarify his role ?

So, you're trying to say that Trump is innocent until proven guilty? What a switch.

 

[ABikerSailor]

Yeah yeah. After he declassified a document there are indeed other procedure. And they either took place or they didn’t. They apparently did not. And?

That doesn’t change the fact of the declassification.

If the procedures never took place, the declassification never happened.

So I guess…….Trump can illegally store TOP SECRET Documents as long as there are Mexicans coming across our border

so those classified data laws only apply to Trump and not to HIllary, Obama, or any other democrat? WTF are you talking about?

He did not control the FBI. Comey was fired for insubordination.

You don't know he did that.

You don't know a ******* thing.

You're just an ignorant leftard being played for a lemming.

Clinton has been in and around Government for decades she should have known better, but the loons made excuses. You like all the rest are hypocrites.

 

[scruffy]

Biden’s speech was PERFECT

Only a true idiot would say that.

Or an evil ************.

Which are you?

No President has gotten away with the transgressions Trump was excused for……..Not even close

Right. Uh-huh. You ******* asswipe leftards are so full of shit it's almost funny.

 

[BackAgain]

Repeating your misinformation does not make it true

Your denials of my truthful claims just makes you more of a lying propagandist.

 

[BackAgain]

Wrong. The declassification was his direction that they be declassified. And so they were. The procedures are ministerial only and the failure to perform them doesn’t negate the original fact of declassification.

I would be happy to see Trump testify under oath like Hillary did

My money says he plays the Mob Boss and takes the Fifth

true in part but the rest is Ass backwards.

Trump has been given favor by the DOJ and the FBI...any other human being would have been charged for Trump's crimes at least a year to a year and a half ago.... President Obama would have been strung for treason by right wingers if he committed the crimes alleged of Trump.

He was asked for a year to give the National Archive vs records back and to return any and all classified documents.

Then January a year later Trump sends 15 cases back, claiming that was all of it.

Then DOJ finds out there were more documents that were not returned, so a Grand Jury issues a subpoena for the records and classified documents...then the FBI takes back even more the following June with the subpoena....

Then trump teams swears in affidavit, the government got all of the records trump illegally took and classified documents he took. He's a Man of Lawlessness.

Then a source tells DOJ that Trump is lying AGAIN, and there are more classified documents and records still there, and where the FBI will find those documents and they got approved by the courts, search warrant.

Then with kid gloves, that no other person would be given FAVOR like Trump was....

They made the search sealed to keep press and paparazzi away. Did it when Trump and paparazzi following him were out of town. Did it when Mara Lago resort was closed for the summer.

no 5am breaking down the doors or surprised in undies

an hour or two warning of the search to the secret service and began in full daylight, between 9am and 10am.

FBI were in plain clothes, did not garner FBI boldly emblazoned windbreakers, had unmarked cars and trucks, no siren lights flashing, did not visibly carry guns...contrary to right winger claims...

NO ONE on this earth, after all those efforts to retrieve the ill gotten, visibly marked, top secret documents and govt records by the Justice dept/FBI, and the lack of honesty and cooperation over a year and a half period, as Trump and his lawyers, would be a free man as Trump still is..... And still without even charges!

Trump has been shown great deference and respect, and patience, that no other, would be given, in every way!!!

He was impeached twice. For BS

Give me a break

Not really
Trump does not own the documents or their classification

If the originators of the document never received orders to declassify, the original classification remains

Blame Trump if he doesn’t know how the classification system works

A Majority of Congressmen and Senators voted to impeach

They didn’t think it was BS

From which University did you receive your Law Degree?
How long have you been working in this area of law?

How many times a day do you have to suck Democrat dick in order for your son not to lose his job?

 

[Billo_Really]

So then I guess it’s a good thing he had declassified the “classified” documents.

That's a bullshit lie you fuckers keep telling because you got no case.

Speaking of cases, how many did you polish off this morning?

Unequal justice. Unless you believe that justice is always and has always been equal in the US.

Is our justice system perfect and without bias?

Answer carefully

I never said anything about ownership.

Wrong. The FACT of declassification simply hasn’t been properly channeled and the documents’ statuses updated. They’re still declassified.

Blame Trump if he doesn’t know how the classification system works

Or, maybe blame the staff for not completing the ministerial shit. Either way, his say so is still absolutely all that’s required for the status change. They remain declassified.
