Superseding Indictments:
“It is the risks to U.S. national security posed by the underlying conduct”
Attempted Destruction of Security Camera Footage
1. The coverup (obstruction) is not worse than the crime (#EspionageAct)

Mr. Nauta:

By remaining loyal to that malignant narcissist, who has declared himself a “legitimate person,” you’ve chosen to die on the wrong hill; it’s a pile of dung.

On an entirely unrelated note, was your mother eating crackers when she named you? Just curious.

“Military plans? What ‘military plans’? Top secret classified documents? No, no, not at all! Those were plans… Plans for uhhh… ummm… buildings. Yeahhh, that’s the ticket! Buildings and… uh… a golf course! Yeah, yeahhh… plans for buildings and a golf course. That’s exactly what I showed them! I’m a legitimate person, by the way. No one is more legitimate than me.”

#FactCheck on #Trump’s fact-free a.m. #TruthSocial rant:

“The #PresidentialRecordsAct explicitly states that the federal government, not the president, owns presidential records; most legal experts say that the Clinton "socks" case has nothing to do with the charges currently being brought against Trump; and the #EspionageAct has been used to bring charges multiple times, including recently against an #FBI analyst who had stashed classified #documents at her #residence.” https://www.rawstory.com/trump-truth-social-2661926712/

It’s truly rich to hear sex offender Donald Trump, dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s good friend who encourages men to “grab” women lay the pussy,” refer to “Anthony Weiner, the pervert.” That’s about as rich as rich can get.

And then, Attorney General Garland settled into his seat, sighed, leaned back, and calmly demanded, “Release the Kraken.”

McCarthy Et al. want to change the narrative and rewrite history by expunging Trump’s past impeachments, but the whole world knows that Trump's a morally corrupt criminal who deserves to rot in prison for compromising our national security and that of our allies.
Congress Republicans seem desperate, as their complicities paint a significant target on them too, so they’re moving fast.
