In reply to the discussion: Trump may threaten to reveal state secrets to manipulate legal proceedings if he's indicted: reporte [View all]Texin
(2,851 posts)19. That is a stupid article in Raw Story. If he tries that it will prove the prosecution's case.
And to top it off, he'd be held in contempt of court and would probably be escorted - in handcuffs - by the FBI and arrested on the spot for treason. The very idea that a man would spill top secret information as leverage in a court of law that would be prosecuting him for the very thing he threatens is ludicrous. But he's such a jabbering shitgibbon, it wouldn't surprise me.

Treatening to release secrets is blackmail, a crime; releasing them is treason.
