In reply to the discussion: Five Eyes [View all]peggysue2
(12,461 posts)37. Thank you for that Five Eyes/Fifth Estate documentary
Hadn't seen it before. Certainly underscores your OP that the higher the security level of the documents, the less chance that Trump will be charged with the highest potential crimes. Fortunately, there are other cases swirling around the ether. The main thing to remember is that a portion of protecting our democracy is on us, the average voter. As Maddow made clear in her podcast Ultra, we cannot rely on the courts alone, as much as we'd prefer. The power of our vote/voice is no small thing, the proof of which was demonstrated a few short weeks ago. The heralded Red Wave vanished, as in never happened.
The courts will do what they can do; the electorate must do what it can by holding the line.
Thanks for another interesting post!

I agree that some of the evidence may be so sensitive it will be hard to try him on it

Excellent read. It is very kind of you to recount the actual history of the Plame investigation

There is one charge where you don't have to include, expose classified documents.

If Trump had used the military on J6 he might have ended up in military court.

A late response, as I'm only now getting a chance to closely read your important and detailed post.

Thanks. So now that we're in the post-Barr era, couldn't we see the unredacted Mueller report?
