        You know they’re never going to. At worst he’s going to get a slap on the wrist for some of his lesser crimes. He won’t be prosecuted any more than any other president has been for their various crimes.

      Stuff like this trickling out can be indicative of motion happening behind the scenes. If you charge a former president with violations of the espionage act you better not miss. I would expect some indictment news before the end of the summer

    Would be nice if Rule of Law win the day for once. It’s pretty disgusting for a politician to blatantly disregard the law and goes on to be free for so long.
