Heilemann: Trump Is Panicked And Can See He's Headed For An Indictment

[jamescox]

This is why I believe a president should meet certain moral, ethical and political standards before we just let anybody into the most powerful house in the country!

[wandaflemons]

He is overdue for prison.He is so dam Corrupt.
LOCK HIM UP.

[MrSouthofBoston]

I was in law enforcement for 37 years. Part of the lengthy hiring process included a credit check. A candidate with bad credit was considered a risk.

[SmoothbassmanStudios]

This is absolutely insane! Anyone else would be buried under the court house! He has to be held accountable. This is a huge security risk for our country. They could have been sold to anyone!! This can't happen!

I have worked for and have many friends that still work for the government. If any of those folks had 1 document let alone more than one that was classified TS SCI, they would have already been locked up. Why does he get a pass on classified documents when no one else will? If he is not held accountable quickly, it diminishes what we deem to be classified and sensitive documents. This is crazy and exactly why people leave government work. The standards only apply to those who actually have morals. If you don't have them and know the right people you can get away with a lot. The "Good ol boy" network is real

[marykeough]

If any of the top secret documents were shared after the attorney attested to the fact that they didn't have any more confidential documents then that attorney needs to go to jail as an accessory.

[bingobiscuit]

It's people spending years in prison for marijuana, years and he hides classified information now ask yourself is there justice in this country

[joyceroberts]

I love that Donald is cornered for the first time ever in his life. and the DOJ has his number, playing cat and mouse with him and his unfit legal team. There's an indictment coming.

[willybones]

They guy couldn't care less about security briefings while in office and absconds with all of our secrets when he left. Its treason, It's insane. PUT HIM AWAY FOR LIFE.

[CyberBeep_kenshi]

This madness needs to end. Can you even imagine the quiet and peace when these people are behind bars? We should be working on the environment, together! Not having to waste time on this maniac

[marlinperkins]

Garland has no choice. He must indict. This country will not survive lawlessness from its president of this magnitude, because it only gets worse if there is no price to pay.

[scottydoggo]

You must jail that lawyer who lied and said there is no more documents at The Mobster home.

[janetclaireSays]

The dangerous precedent has been set by Trump. Prosecuting him is required. Also, we need a blue wave in November and then Congress must codify, not only abortion rights, but laws preventing any question of the sort of behavior we got from Trump's presidency as being allowable. Everything that was once taken for granted as proper behavior must be written into law.

[nitehawk]

Love how he's allowed to stone wall and keep being free. He already admitted he took them. Any other person would've already been behind bars since it was first known they were stolen.

[ruthslone]

I can see TrChump trying his best DeNiro impersonation, “you? Gonna prosecute me?” It might get dangerous in the streets…
It was 100% a threat against Garland, and should also be prosecuted.

[majikdivaa]

I CANT WAIT TO SEE HIM GET LOCK UP ! ITS SO AMAZING THAT HE S DONE SO MANY WRONG THINGS AND BREAKING MANY RULES ...NO ONES ABOVE THE LAW ! LOCK HIM

[alsharpe]

They need to lock him up!
We also need to know what documents he brought to Russia when he met with Vlad

[barbaramullins]

Who helped him get them out? He is not that sneaky. He is a bull in a China shop. There are a few people in charge of these documents who need to be headed to jail too.

[henryrodriguez]

The people who have empowered him should also have to answer for this. Using the excuse of POLITICS is nothing but BS!

[rnelson]

We have been saying this for months. ACTION. ACCOUNTABILITY.
