Trump by just having those documents broke the law big time. Of the 3 American civilians that the
feds have busted for the level of espionage that it looks like Trump might have been at 2 were executed
(the Rosenbergs) and the other is doing 15 life terms in the Fed Super Max Prison in Colorado (FBI agent
Robert Hanssen).

He is a flight risk and needs to be in custody ASAP.

Putin's installation of Trump into the White House and those who went along with it and or
knew about it were part of the biggest crimes in American/World History (see Brexit/Cambridge
Analytica/Facebook/Manafort/Stone and so on).

And the GOP fought to keep it secret.

We also know that many Americans are happy with Trump.
And support him despite his crimes against the US.

We need to keep our eyes on the SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM!

They KNEW he was a fool, an idiot, a grifter.........

yet they kept him in there because he gave them what they wanted - power and control of the bank.

Obama went to McConnell to discuss the matter and McConnell did not deny a thing.
McConnell knew that Putin was going to install Trump into the WH.

Instead Obama was threatened by McConnell to stay silent or McConnell will rain all kinds of hell on Hillary and Dems in the upcoming election.

Mitch McConnell is the most ruthless sociopath of all, and will do anything to maintain power and control.
He thought Trump would bring him something.

1. Trump had considerably more access to classified documents in both scope and quantity than Ames and Hanssen.

2. Trump damaged the entire US security apparatus for generations. Networks were most likely damaged and will take decades to re-build them.

3. Jefferson Davis and Robert Lee were soundly defeated and silenced. Trump continues to deliberately instigate civil war for personal gain.

DC always covers for presidential crimes and embarrassments.

But Trump broke the rule of not dragging down the GOP and hurting its brand.
