Must reading for every American
Every American should read Case File 23-80101-CR-Cannon/Reinhart, U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida, USA v. Donald J. Trump & Waltine Nauta.
It is the Trump indictment file relating how Trump (after the end of his term in office) and persons (with no security clearance of any kind) laughed together about the fact that they are viewing documents (revealing top secret information about our nation’s and our allied nations military resources and operations) that were still classified and Trump could no longer declassify.
I am not going to comment on the indictment, but I suggest readers also consider the list of former Trump officials, staffers, lawyers, and supporters who have decided Trump should never again be President of the United States:
Defense Secretary James Mattis
Navy Secretary Richard V. Spenser
Nat’l Security Advisor John Bolton
White House Chief of Staff John Kelly
Nat’l Security Advisor H.R. McMasters
Homeland Security Advisor Tom Bossert
Special Assistant to the President Cliff Sims
Communications Director Omerosa Manigault Newman
Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci
Nat’l Economic Counsel Director Gary Cohn
White House Counsel Ty Cobb
Special Representative for Ukraine Kurt Volker
Attorney General Jeff Sessions
Vice President Mike Pence
Attorney General William Barr
Trump Campaign Manager Bill Stepien
White House Lawyer Eric Herschmann
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos
Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham
Communications Director Alyssa Farrah Griffin
Trump Attorney Michael Cohen
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson
Covid Response Director Deborah Birx
Chief Medical Advisor to the President Anthony Fauci
Trump Attorney Jim Trusty
Trump Attorney John Rowley
Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie
Former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson
I will conclude with two observations:
Trump often complained about leaks to the press. It is becoming clear where those leaks originated.
Trump was not ordered to surrender his passport. I think that was a serious mistake because I believe he will abscond to Russia to avoid trial.
