    Some of those charges are violations of the Espionage Act. Maybe disqualifying, maybe not. The inevitable lawsuit will decide.

    Perhaps too late, perhaps not.

    Are you not at least entertained?

      Yeah, the reason I still say ‘no’ is that the espionage act charges don’t necessarily involve aiding enemies, because it can (and has) been violated purely by possessing and disseminating NDI documents to people not authorized, which we actually do have evidence for.

      If there was compelling evidence of classified+ info being given to Putin, for example, then I’d forget bothering with the trials and go polish up the guillotine.

      Definitely entertained by the online meltdowns by the idiot in chief either way.
