The responsibility of the most powerful office in the world was given to a sociopath.

[deannacarpenter]

Remember when the "family" couldn't get security clearance but were allowed access to secret confidential documents? No one did anything to enforce that either!!!

[edrowlands]

When is the DOJ going to stop mucking around and start charging Trump?

[Mitsoxfan]

You know the type of 'president' we are dealing with when we have to be specific about which impeachment trial we are talking about.

[melodydickens]

STOP TALKING ABOUT IT AND LET'S START DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
COME ON JUSTICE DEPARTMENT YOU NEED TO START DOING SOMETHING NOW THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS!

[MikeMontgomery]

He has shown a complete disregard for the law for the entirety of his public office career and does it out in the open. Is there any real accountability in Washington? Al Franken loses his seat with a single photo, yet this ex-president flaunts the law in our faces and suffers no consequence.

[cephasisrael]

U.S. intelligence agencies will be wise to assume that every piece of Intel seen by Trump has also been seen by Putin, Kim and anyone else with a dollar or praise.

[anthonycraig]

A serious question, What would a 3 year old do if they wanted to get rid of evidence?

[michellegrande]

He illegally took classified documents not “mishandled” them. Figure out what they should do? Arrest the freaking traitor!

[kento]

He needs to be prosecuted for EVERY single document separately. Hundreds of years sentence.

[timj]

Just how long do we have to wait until all of these "legal entanglements " and "Legal Bombshells/Legal setbacks/Hurdles" will actually lead to consequences ?

[IAmSuzyQ]

"People are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once." -Trump
Nope. 1 flush does the trick for most folks...of course, most folks aren't trying to flush incriminating evidence and official documents.
Trump's never met a law he didn't break.

[markbradley]

Perhaps the most worrying aspect is the notes taken by interpreters regarding the two hour conversation with Putin. Where are they?

[alastairclarke]

How is it possible for so many crimes, so many legal procedures and he is still free? My son keeps asking me when he is going to jail...

[LuciaPerez-lfgr]

Always LOVE listening to Dan Goldman!!

[kellishafron]

I thought "possession" was 9 10ths of the law. Does it really matter who packed the boxes?? They are in his possession.

[AM-nisz]

How many laws dose this man need to break before the American people say, "stop"?

[LostCylon]

It's not mishandling, it's criminal *TRAITOROUS* behaviour.

[supercuda]

Like everything before, Trump did what Trump wanted and like before, no consequences for his actions, Preisdent or not. When is the DOJ going to do their job?

[boyvale]

Like he's done his whole life, he'll get away with this without consequences.
