Trump used lawyers to commit crimes for him and figured they would never be able to flip on him because of attorney client privilege.
Sur-fucking-prise.

(3,178 posts)To bring Treason charges against a former President. It would be incredible, mind blowing, I have no doubt hes guilty of Treason, but even I would be surprised to see it as a charge, but who knows? I think espionage is more likely.

They fried the Rosenbergs for less.
Not that this will happen either.

What notes?
Sorry, I can't keep up with all of it.....
gratuitous
(82,849 posts)That mewling letter purportedly from the former guy's attorney (I think he just swiped a sheet of letterhead stationery) seems to take the position that because he was president once upon a time, he gets a lifetime "get out of jail free" card.

(35,075 posts)I'm glad more officials are acknowledging that. And oh my gosh, if Jack has confirmed that that pos was selling US secrets.... holy shit. 3 different types of treason by my count: the coup, putin collusion, and now espionage. Throw away the f'in key!
