Trump = traitor

August 17, 2022 by Guest Post

by Mark Snider, Hamilton

The search of Donald Trump’s home in Mar-a-Lago was authorized by a federal judge because of “probable cause” of not only obstruction of justice, but of espionage. When the FBI searched Trump’s home he had boxes of top secret information plus information so secret the FBI cannot describe it to us. 

Trump is accused of Espionage Act 18 USC 2071, which is concealment, removal or mutilation of secret documents. He is also accused of 18 USC 793, gathering, transmitting or losing defense information. And also 18 USC 1519, destruction, alteration, or falsifying of records in a federal investigation.

Evidence of all of these charges were found at Mar-a-Lago. Both Politico and NBC reported these developments on 8/12/2022.

This is not surprising from a president who lied from the beginning. However, shame on those Republicans who supported one of the worst examples of humanity ever to walk the face of the earth. We cannot afford to keep elected public servants who supported a lying, cheating, immoral president. He now is no longer just a thug and criminal, he is a traitor to this country. His supporters must be put in jail or at least eliminated from public office because they cannot tell the truth from lies or right from wrong. Those who support and give aid to a traitor are criminals and his followers must be voted out of office.

    There was no Federal Judge involved but a Magistrate, I assume you know the significance of that. The remainder of your tirade is just as useless as all Presidents are guilty of keeping files, it’s called insurance.

    Your last paragraph Mark sounds very similar to what King George and the British Parliament said about the Sons of Liberty.

    And…how do you come by all this information on what was found at Trump’s place…wait CNN, MSNBC or maybe NPR?

    I forgot to address your other points: Know how the documents were locked up? By a second lock that the government wanted put on when they and Trump were discussing the documents. Hmmm you ignored that point didn’t you? and what is this about lying? On what? Kind of like Biden lying about Afghanistan where he let 13 americans die? Or that he didn’t know about his son’s activities or money incoming? Hmmmm? How is trump a lying cheating immoral president? Hmmmm? according to whom? YOU? How do you know he has behaved immorally? Of wait you don’t. Sorry but you are ranting and have Little to NO PROOF of what you claim. Try again and we MIGHT listen to you.

      what·a·bout·ism

      /ˌ(h)wədəˈboudizəm/

      noun BRITISH

      ‘the technique or practice of responding to an accusation or difficult question by making a counteraccusation or raising a different issue.
      “the parliamentary hearing appeared to be an exercise in whataboutism”

      Both are of your responses Helen are textbook examples of this.

      “Hmmmm? How is trump a lying cheating immoral president?” That’s rich. My finger would need physical therapy were I to type out just a fraction of proof.

    Hmmm and Hillary allows her Mexican maid and her daughter to see top secret information. I wonder why she wasn’t invaded by the FBI? remember the illegal server she had in her basement? Oh wait – you don’t or you would have mentioned it yes? Just to be fair and balanced in your opinion, yes? and what about the top secret info that Sandy Berger smuggled out in his pants, remember him and the Bill Clinton presidency? oh NO? Go look them up and redo your thinking. It seems a bit slanted to me…..OH yes and the Obama removal of documents too for his personal library…oh wait you forgot about that one too didn’t you? According to the Washington TIMES They have NEVER been examined yet to see what is in them – when will THAT happen? Hmmmm?

      Oh here goes “Helen” again who believes she has and can present FACTS! I’m so tired of you supporters of that traitor, liar, con man with blood on his hands. I mean, REALLY? What’s he going to have to do, murder or hurt one of your own before you see what he is? Also, I’m really tired of your ignorant diatribe of always throwing up Hillary and Obama when you are cornered and not able to provide any facts to support your cult leader. Pull off your blinders. Even “faux news” isn’t supporting him anymore.

      You really think you are the encyclopedia’ of everything political Helen. You come across as completely under the spell of the radical far right agenda…just hateful, spiteful and uneducated. Just please stop unless you can back up your rants with real, fact checked and proven information.
