REPORT: Trump Is Under Investigation for Violating the ESPIONAGE ACT!!!
Lock him up!!! And throw away the key!!!
Donald Trump is under investigation for obstruction of justice and violating the Espionage Act, according to a search warrant obtained by multiple news outlets showing the FBI retrieved 11 sets of classified documents from Mar-a-Lago.
Meanwhile the former president insisted Friday that everything was 'declassified' and agents 'didn't need to seize anything.'
Some of the documents were marked 'top secret' and are meant to be kept in specialized government facilities, the Wall Street Journal reported after seeing a copy of the search inventory.
More creative than “Dems are running scared”. The last thing we’re doing is that. The first thing is basking in the level of schaudenfreude we’re all experiencing. Coffeequilt]
@Coffeequilt the deal the senate should have made with him during his sec nd impeachment, was a pass, agreement not to try him in return for never running for any office ever against n. No, the Republicans had to show their "manhood," and devotion to their demigod.
@samueltyler2 ummm, if English is a second language to you, please let know. Otherwise, try reading my post again. Sound out the words. Those 7 letters words are hard
@SomeMichGuy I hope you all realize that, initially, senators were not elected by a popular vote, but a system like the electoral college. That was eliminated as undemocratic. Why the presidency was left that way defies all logic, except it continues to give smaller states an interesting balanced advantage in electing a president!
Electors are pledged for a specific candidate, even though they are usually minor party minions. The people vote for the candidate directly but the electors are part of the gerrymandered and "always 2 Senators"/"always 1 Representative" inflation of the power of low population states.
The Legislatures didn't have to let anyone know who the candidates for Senator were, nor disclose anything. People voted for representatives in the State Legislature, not the Senate candidates. Any internal gerrymandering didn't have interstate competition...
@SomeMichGuy The way the electoral college is set up, it favors the votes of the smaller states, since again, there are only 2 senators from each state and so small states have more power in the senate and then in the college. This was all part of the big compromise to get the southern states to be part of the independence movement leading up to 1776. At this time, the smaller states, and particularly the southern states, act more like federal money sponges and have too much power.
@SomeMichGuy I don't understand your last question. Before the popular vote elected US Senators, they were not elected by the citizens of the state. That is what I was saying.
@SomeMichGuy I disagree, but we will not be able to resolve that. I see great similarities, the most important being, that, the citizen vote for senator did not really count as a vote for the senator, but for an elector, call it what you want. "Senators of the United States Congress were originally chosen by state legislatures. Citizens would vote for their state legislators, and those legislators would vote a man into the U.S. Senate. At the beginning of the 20th century, though, many states had begun to use the popular vote to elect U.S. Senators." One set are called electors, the other state legislators, but it amounts to the same thing, indirect voting, not direct. I would like the US presidential election to follow in those footsteps, let us, going forward, have the person who receives the most votes, become president.
