How is he still walking free? He should've been arrested on Jan 7th 2021.

[curiousk]

Why does the FBI, CIA, NSA and Homeland Security allow a threat to National Security continue to walk around???

[victoriao]

The other 99% of us would be in jail pending trial 🤬

[kevinreist]

Cavalier? How about irresponsible, unpatriotic and treasonous?

"In my administration, I'm going to enforce all laws concerning the protection of classified information. No one will be above the law." ~ Traitor Trump 8/18/2016

No, it boggles the mind that he is not in jail. That he is still out of jail is more than ridiculous. He's just a crook, not a king. Mind blown.

[mile_high_topher]

What's mind boggling is that anyone expected Trump to respect anything or anyone.

[elainejohnson]

Anyone else would have been arrested a long time ago. DOJ needs to do their job and stop giving Trump and his co-conspirators favoritism.

[michaelratcliffe]

Charles Coleman’s line MAGA standing for “My Attorney Got Arrested” is fabulous. Love it!

[pamelatimmins]

Lock trump up for the rest of his miserable life, DoJ.

This is truly disturbing. Even pence made calls to these governors and Secretary of States.

I hope trump is found guilty of all the charges brought against him.

I hope trump and all his corrupt co-conspirators serve 20+ years in prison.
No early out, no home confinement.

Great reporting and interviews, Joy.

[GlmToto]

Joy you are one of my favorite people! You do a great job! Thank you for what you do.

[ziziroberts]

It doesn't boggle any mind that remembers unrecorded chats with Vladimir Putin.

[rnkrnk]

That’s what happens when you allow a toddler to be in charge of the cookie jar.

[johnbannister]

It boggles the mind that America simply lets this happen.

[spudgo]

Given his track record before he even became 45, it shouldn't boggle the mind at all - in fact the correct response would have been to expect it. Naive statement.

[UberLummox]

At this point if anyone STILL believes twumpy~dumpy, they are likely beyond help. Sad.

[BongRipBing]

What boggles the mind is the two-tier justice system if he doesn't get punished for these crimes. Insurrection *and* hoarding/sharing TS/SCI docs? Ludicrous. Anyone else would be dead to rights.

[ricmora]

ALL persons, including candidates for public office, who if elected would have the need for access to classified information MUST be vetted and MUST successfully pass a background investigation. The most junior members of the military are required to do so; how is it that their civilian leadership is not?

[CycloneGU]

"My Attorneys Got Arrested"

I'm stealing that.

[tonyroam]

Dude never understood the responsibility of being president 🤨
