Trump Signed Law That Could Get Him 5 Years In Prison For Mishandling Classified Docs

In the absence of more detailed information about the investigation, it’s unclear what potential crimes DOJ is probing. Notably, Trump — after a fierce campaign against Clinton in which he called for her to be jailed for her handling of classified material — signed a law in 2018 that stiffened the penalty for the unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents from one year to five years, turning it into a felony offense.





That was the same statute that just three years earlier Petraeus pleaded guilty to in order to avoid a felony conviction.



Why Trump would have signed this law in 2018 when the 2016 election was long gone was always a dumb move. Hillary Clinton wasn’t going to run for president again, so the only thing that Trump accomplished by signing this law was potentially giving himself more prison time for mishandling classified information.
The section of the DOJ investigating Trump’s handling of classified information specializes in espionage, sabotage, and national security. At a minimum, Donald Trump jeopardized national security by keeping top secret documents in his basement. If Trump was trying to sell or leverage those documents to gain an advantage for his business that would be a much more serious federal crime.





When Donald Trump put pen to paper in 2018, he had no idea that he was adding time to his potential prison sentence.

Shhhh. Crickets. I'm guessing Trump is planning to share the nuclear secrets with his mentor Putin, if he hasn't already. Onawbtngr, they're checking with their credible sources on Parler. They'll be back in touch soon with the definitive comeback, which is: "Yeah, well, Hilary is a child molester!"

Yep, and no replies here yet because the trumptards haven't been told what to think about this fact yet

His lawyers stated all classified docs were already gone in June, if that's what he was advised, there is no intent, no intent, no crime.

Wondering this though, where did Trump touch you that causes so much hate for him?

Or, is it just jealousy?

No, not so fast. I'm sure a low level coffee boy will catch the blame at some point since the deflection King Trump never admits to wrong doing. But someone needs to get their balls clipped for having Top Secret docs that are no to be outside of a Skiff. How does that document just happen to be in the boxes there? Not ready to pull the guillotine lever on Donnie yet, cause I'd like to hear just how this happened. But the "I didn't know that was there" defense, is like driving 80 and getting pulled over- "I didn't know the speed limit defense".

News Flash- You gettin a ticket.

Not only that, Trump had previously declassified all the documents while he was President (like his predecessors did).

But hey, TDS reigns supreme among the libtards. They are once again gleefully thinking "We git him this time". You would think they would learn by now after falling for all the previous hoaxes. Alas they never learn

Bx2, if that's true, there is a paper trail And application that is followed. Waiving your hand and saying it doesn't make it declassified. Granted some other flunky likely filled out the form but it would still be there. National Security isn't a "cause I say so," informal process. Those get a review and documentation.

If that's the reason -put up or shut up.

Attorney/client is another excuse- let's see that.

I don't know it was there--- Trump's attorney validated nothing was there..did they just sign what Donnie told him to do?

Trump should be afforded the ability to reply to the documents and produce any defense he chooses, but let's pick one and stick to it.

Either way- Nuke information isnot something arbitrary or for public consumption. I'd even give him a pass on he didn't know it was there and he attested by his attorney's filings, it wasn't there, but you can't say it wasn't there and if it was, the it was declassified anyway. It makes no sense.

I don't know if it's a gotcha moment, but it really demonstrates that this guy shouldn't be holding top secret shit. Not in his basement or in Melania's drawers.

Backpedaling.

[onawbtngr546]

Lock him up. That's the only way to make the Trumptards realize that their messiah is a corrupt criminal.

He pretended he was a king and then got flustered when he realized how much the President is held back by the other branches of the government.


He denied reality when he lost election and told his brainwashed Trumptards that he is in fact still the president.


He likely still denies reality and pretends that he is the President in Exile or some bullcrap like that.


He signed a law with the intend to get Hillary locked up, but that same law is going to get him locked up.


Law: You signed me that said anyone who leaks classified documents needs to be locked up..
Trump: Yep! Lock her up!
Law: Well, no, I can't lock her up because things don't work retroactively
Trump: I SAID LOCK HER UP! MAGA!
Law: ..and you leaked classified documents. Hands behind your back, Donnie
Trump: Wait I didn't mean it like that, I'm the president! I'm above the law! WORSHIP ME! THEY ARE STEALING MY ELECTION!!! AHHHH!!
