Russia? Russia? Russia?

How close is the Special Counsel to an espionage charge?

During the recent CNN Townhall, Trump was asked if had ever shown the documents to anyone else. Paraphrasing, he said, "Not as far as I know" or "not to my knowledge". That is not his usual response to such questions.

Coupled with yesterday's story about the 16 letters from the National Archives to Trump, explaining how to handle classified documents, the Special Counsel could be getting real close to charging Trump. A good tell is that when Trump is thinking about something that is troubling him, he starts posting rants about it on Truth Social.

One has to wonder whether he has been passing secrets to another nation? And does the Special Counsel have the evidence to back it up? We have learned over the last few years that no matter how bad it might look against Trump, it is usually worse.

Also, the time is closing quickly on the next election. Republicans are scheduled to have their first debate sometime in August. We are nearing the end of May.

1. I don't wonder about that at all...

I'm pretty sure he started doing that the day he had the russians in the Oval Office.

2. Hell if pardons were for sale, you know top secret docs were too.

3. Obstruction of justice is 20 years.

We know he lied about not having the documents.

My best guess is that indictments are imminent. 😊

No way a trial happens before the election so we still have to beat him at the ballot box first.

4. I agree.

If the Republicans cannot take care of the "problem" in their primaries, the Democrats will have to do it in the general election. The people's verdict will need to come first.

5. He started passing secrets almost immediately...

From a Thom Hartmann article at Raw Story:

Imagine that candidate became president 29 years after his first Moscow trip and in his first weeks in office, presumably as thanks for their help, invited the Russian ambassador and the Russian foreign minister to a covert meeting in the Oval Office and gave them top-secret information on a spy about whom Russia had been concerned; that spy was then “burned.”
