US humiliation abroad = promotions for those responsible.

Looks like Trump is done for. Caught in possession of National Defense Information - illegal outside of a secure federal facility. What an idiot.

So it's down to Ron DeSantis and Chris Christie. LOL

"illegal outside of a secure federal facility."

Whether that affects Trump depends upon whether you are in the "you must follow The Rules whatever the outcome" camp, or "it didn't affect the outcome so what's the problem?" camp.

Increasingly politics is split into whether the liturgy is more important than the delivery.

Peter Pan said...

This is politically motivated. "Rules must be selectively enforced."

Normally, the powerful are given a free pass. Look at Jeffrey Epstein. His assisted 'suicide' generated plenty of free passes.

It’s going to be litigated…

Peter Pan said...

Litigated until the 2024 elections are over, if need be.

Eugene Debs ran for election from prison, so there is precedent.
