Breitbart got their hands on the warrant from Trump and he’s being investigated under the Espionage Act.

Of course, by leaking his version directly the agent names are included while the DOJ wanted them redacted.

So, the current front runner for the 2024 GOP nomination just had a search warrant executed on his home under the Espionage Act? Totally normal. Nothing to see here.

Edit: btw here is an unofficial breakdown of the statutes...

18 USC 2071 — Concealment, removal or mutilation
18 USC 793 — Gathering, transmitting or losing defense information
18 USC 1519 — Destruction, alteration or falsification of records in Federal investigations

Some wondering… like drew and sic. If breitbart exposes agents like that, for an espionage act warrant- does that expose them to legal issues? While there is freedom of the press, there are limits to that, like for espionage.

I think there is a pretty long history of DOJ attempting to bully journalists and journalists holding the line. Which is good.

Of course, entities like Alex Jones and Breitbart and Fox are not journalism. They are entertainment media. So I do not know whether they could hide behind calling themselves "news." Otherwise any person anywhere could set up a webpage and claim they had freedom of the press to do anything.

These are criminal organizations involved in sedition and conspiracy. They should ALL go to prison. If anything the Right should help burn out the cancer that has devastated them for fifty years. Get your soul back, you dumb fucks. It used to be you thought you would take us down with you but it's startin' to look like, nope, it's just gonna be you.

So a "superceding" means a follow up indictment that is way, way worse?

I'm starting to think we should hold this fuck. He's a flight risk as long as Putin is in power.

I am not joking.

Nah, let him run. Maybe it will force his minions to move to Russia.
 
From a discussion with proptermalone on Twitter.

793 under the espionage act is bad. 794 is the capital offense. But it generally requires disclosure to a foreign person or officer. I wondered if foreign also applied to US citizens registered (or supposed to be registered) under FARA. Which could be very bad for trump since he was surrounded by these FARA fucks.

I only stayed at a Holiday Inn last night but as dx said yes. Basically the 793 is the much easier charge to prove (basically prove he had files he should not have) and then build to the 794 if the investigation turns them up. Same things they do to mob bosses and other criminals. You don't want to overcharge early cause if you do and can't prove it then you are fucked.

No matter what though Trump is in a heap of trouble, and you can tell that the GOP "in the know" get that that is is why they are deflecting.

BTW The Dems refusing to discuss this beyond vagaries is perfection. Stay the hell away from it, the GOP makes themselves look bad every time they talk no need to jump in the mud with them. Watching them change their story every 12 hours is delicious and is going to hurt them way more than they think.
 
In part 3, Frost asked Nixon whether the president could do something illegal in certain situations such as against antiwar groups and others if he decides "it's in the best interests of the nation or something". Nixon replied: "Well, when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal", by definition.

This isn't far behind as Trump's defense.
