I wish Obama would have done this.
More important: The complicity & culpability of the GOP – they are the cancer, Trump only a dangerous tumor. 99% of GOP politicians currently in office have given "aid & comfort to insurrectionists" making them "unqualified to hold public office" – effective IMMEDIATELY. The reluctance or inability of "Conservatives" to acknowledge facts, truth & reality in a timely manner is what makes them a Clear & Present Danger to the safety, security, health & public welfare of America – and human existence on Planet Earth.
The GOP is an organization of PERVERTS (and a brainwashed cult):They have PERVERTED, poisoned & polluted the political process by polarizing & politicizing everything they can to try & divide. They've diminished the legitimacy, integrity & credibility of Congress, the Presidency, and the SCOTUS & just about every Federal Agency & Department imaginable – including the Secret Service, FBI, DHS, Inspectors General & the Pentagon.
The GOP brand has been damaged beyond redemption & rightfully so. They are responsible for the downward spiral of civility, ethics & morality in American politics over the past 60 years. They are the primary source of disinformation, distortions, distractions, subversion, obstruction, sabotage, and selective "law" that only benefits their party in spite of what's best & desired by the majority of Americans.
Decent "Conservatives" need to find a different Party to join that can legitimately participate in American democracy. This means they must be willing to lose gracefully & accept the peaceful transfer of power IN ADDITION to demonstrating a connection to truth, logic, facts & reality – MIA from the GOP which is now a DTO worthy of expulsion via an attempted coup resulting in insurrection – both acts of sedition – and treason.
The majority of the GOP has clearly indicated that they are endorsing cheaters (& cheating) to win elections. And "Party over Country" as their philosophy. And that rot extends from their corrupt greedy, hypocritical "leadership" at the top to their brainwashed, blindly allegiant, ignorant, gullible, duped bottom. THE BARREL IS ROTTEN TO THE CORE.
Both Clinton's, Obama and Biden have all proven to be above the law. The accurate statement of the principle should be "No Republican politician is above the Democrat administration of the law."
Also, Weissman was one of the chief attack dogs sent against Trump by the politically corrupt DOJ and FBI. So fitting he would be on one of the most biased mainstream "news" channels in the country. This is a gathering of corrupt, ideologically motivated, professional liars and smear artists, AKA propagandists.
It's said that no one is above the law but, we all know better..The law applies where and when those with that power decide to exercise it; and against those they choose. 💔
Orange guy is about to Unleash another set of dummies like he did on Jan 6th. They all about to be locked up again and Orange guy could care less again like he did with the Jan 6th idiots
here is the video with the proof that all papers were declassified , they searched his house to remove evidence of doj crimes . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gSVpwXl7F0&list=PLXZV2Y06fqtNvpjZQrGDmsu3sPLdLOE0B&index=1&t=418s
I will continue saying trump cares about nothing and I believe trump would sell America 🇺🇸 cause he can't accept a loss
No one should be above the law, BUT many are.
Maybe, they should have a better security system for too secret documents.
Trumphobia….
When u Schiff your pants…..
Former US attorney👨⚖👨⚖: "Unfortunately, no US Law stated clearly president or former president is exempted from criminal investigation nor prosecution from law breaking. I wish i can tell you otherwise. "
I pray Democrats and Independents vote ALL Republicans out and send a strong message in support of ALL. Americans.
It used to be
"This is just the tip of an iceberg".
Now, years later, it's
"The tip of the ICEBERG
is now exposed ; just the TIP "
CHECKMATE
Beyond several thousand previous checkmates.
It hasn't been additive since the insurrection; it's been COMPOUNDING
All of this is leading to additional more mountainous evidence that is all together TONNAGE of found , recorded , observed , and discovered proof over ensuing YEARS after Insurrection committed
Why are the Dems above the law?
President Biden truly knows that he's not above the law, he's a decent gentleman with respect within his oath for Constitution. Fraudumpty has none of those qualities because he falsely claimed that he's above the law. NO WAY!!! He can still pretend, then lie above everything.
Why are the Biden's still not being "investigated" by DOJ/FBI ?
Has his top secret clearance been revoked for this ???
If he's not above the law then why haven't they arrested him? Or can anyone take home top secret papers and not get arrested?
The DOJ should either arrest Trump or have a coronation ceremony. If there is a fear civil war then he has won. No more democracy.
Shirley carr…. is a legend.
"A president and a former president are not above the law". Wait, this from people who, I presume, subscribe to the accepted rule inside the Department of Justice that "a sitting president cannot be indicted" even when he commits crimes in plain daylight?
An absolute law, not Even GOD is above. Like free will.
Trump the clown 🤡 would sell that information to foreign governments for monetary purposes and to keep himself out of jail. Watch him try to disappear before his court case. He will flee! Guaranteed. LMAO
Reality Winner: NSA contractor jailed for five years over classified report leak
Winner, who leaked report on Russian election interference, is first person Trump administration charged under Espionage Act via Guardian. My question: Why, with Trump having boxes of TS/classified doc, is able to bargain with the government?
Using Trump's own words with a slight adjustment,
LOCK HIM UP"
At the mid-terms, voters will have to choose between supporting America and voting Republican.
Unless you're a Democrat then you can take millions of documents, bleach internet servers, destroy 33,000 emails, destroy government phones, create a phony dossier, get FISA warrants with known fraudulent evidence, and commit treason by impeaching a lawfully elected President. The American KGB hard at work with their Stalinistic political persecution.
The GOP must really want more and more of the ridiculousness that constantly swirls around Trump.. enough is enough.
What was Weismann's roll in RussiaGate again? Get better experts so they can be believed please. Some of us are actually looking for truth.
Trump has been very quiet for over 48 hours. The fear of going to jail for espionage has finally shut him up. The smell of his cowardly fear is so delicious
Trump is a former president and no different than you or me. We would be sitting in prison right now. Trump and his cult ought to be grateful for that. Garland has to be careful with information that he gives out considering it's a investigation. Oh by the way gas prices are up because the Russians are destroying the Ukraine! People use the brains God gave you and think for yourself!!
These Republicans are going against law and order instead of trying to keep America safe! Why? This other Republican clown wants to focus in the economy and so on but you tell me what has the Republican party done nothing? They vote against everything. So what have they done but take credit for what the democrats have done?
Yes, you lock trump up for the rest of his miserable life. trump never should have had any of those documents, none. trump's security clearance was voided by President Biden because trump couldn't be trusted; now we see how true that was, trump can not be trusted period.
Great reporting and interviews Andrea. I have great respect for both these men so smart and forthright.
Like no one presenting evidence/proof of massive voter fraud, has anyone on Trump's team presented paperwork to prove those documents were declassified?
Didn’t these people have George bush on recently? He seems to be above the law? Weird
WE LIVE IN THE GENERATION THAT TEASE AND LAUGH AT AMERICANS.
It must be embarrassing when the rest of the world use the word American as a replacement for stupidity.
e.g. What? are you joking, that's sounds American.
Lol she can’t even spit it out. Look how miserable these people look 😂
First, FBI was in Maralago and saw documents and was told to take anything they wanted by Trump lawyers , they didn’t take it and raided 2 months later.
Never mind Trump can declassify anything.
How is FBI going to explain leaving the stuff there for 2 months after being told to take them?
This looks so political it likely has elected Trump president 2024
Blah Blaah Blaaah
Interesting question but in this aggressive Political environment he would not because he would raise the heat which would get propaganda started to confuse and conflict the truth. The facts are there but using Politics as way of seeing who gets in office first (sad).
stack the deck on trump like you stack the deck oh pookie and ray-ray give him a all black jury
Merrick Garland has a 100 percent conviction rate folks. If he charges…
🔥
oh please this is done by every president
Was gonna watch this till I heard the lead prosecutor in the Mueller case was going to speak,these Criminals stop at nothing to twist the story to hide evidence and to coverup crucial investigations
DC machine is the Little boy cried wolf
Oh course he knew. He only returned the boxes that wouldn't get him into trouble. Someone has switched on him and it probably was the secret service officers that protect him. They are also there to protect you as US citizens. That's why they reported it. Thank God!
Andrea, go take a sista, enjoy your retirement. Ya aint got nothing left to invigorate,, it's over. Job well done.
Doj and fbis bias exposure, amp up media, watch the coming election, and see how out of touch are you from the real issues
