Legal Expert On Trump-Appointed Judge: ‘This Is More Like Food Court Than Judicial Court’

Election officials are stepping up security ahead of midterms as fears arise that some Republicans or right-wing radicals will sow violence on election night. Joy Reid and her panel also discuss the shameful hypocrisy of Trump defenders making excuses for the former president stealing sensitive government documents, some with the highest classifications, after years of attacks on Hillary Clinton over her email server.

This just shows how broken and pathetic this system is!

I'm a Ronald Reagan Conservative, but no longer a Republican as of 2016. My Stepfather is a retired NSA Spy who served our Country from 1964 through 2001. He told me that Hillary Clinton had to set up that server in her basement due to security issues at the State Department. When Colin Powell arrived at the State Department before Hillary, the only computer in the Department was a laptop computer in his office. The State Department was the last to move into computer age. NSA was concerned about security at the State Department for years. Their means of communication was with teletype, fax and phone. Classified and Top Secret information was always safe with Hillary Clinton. When she left office all Top Secret and Classified Documents went to the National Arkives. Hillary didn't keep anything. Many Republican Lawmakers say, Hillary was given a pass. That's False! Trump's DOJ never found any evidence to endite Hillary because she was innocent.
In addition to this, when Trump met with Russian Officials in the White House in 2017, her shared with them a past Middle East Opposition involving Israel, NSA and CIA. These documents had the code names that linked to the real names of every agent involved. The following week my Stepfather's personal computer was hacked by the Russians, as well as every agent involved. They created financial problems that lasted for over a year. Now when these agents retire they are aloud to keep their security clearances should they be called back into action due to a national emergency. Sense then may parents and the other NSA and CIA agents are required to live off the grid because of being exposed by Donald J. Trump. No computers, no cellphones and no GPS devices. I now own the new computer my Stepfather bought in 2017 after he was hacked. When the ruling came down from the NSA of having to live of the grid, he decided to not set up the new computer. Instead he sent the new computer to me. Trump should have been locked up over that one act along under the Espionage Act... Lock him up!!

You can’t shame the shameless, but that’s why ridicule is so much more effective.

This Florida judge is not qualified to be a judge and she's proving it she should be removed from her job she does not understand anything she's not making any sense

How a total lunatic man corrupted everyone to the core. So mind boggling. They will all go to prison one by one

[smoomanchew]

Why is Trump allowed to get away with this. If it was you or I we'd be locked up . End of story

[sandra]

Build a better America 🇺🇸 and all Rump does is whine and complaining, gossiping.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Lock up Rump and vote blue for Val Demings!!!

[Lonewolfmike]

This judge has done in her career in short order with her handling of this whole thing. She will never be taken seriously, again, the way I look at it. She has shown she is bought and paid for by Donnie and is doing her bidding. She will be forever known for this colossal screw-up on her part.

The Judge should not be involved in this case, there’s conflict of interest. Judge was appointed by Trump. Think about that for a moment.

[BunnEFartz]

So if I get a ticket for Jay Walking can I demand a Special Master and go shopping for a judge until I get the ruling I want?

[YZW]

Remember when Donnie called him little Marco? He fell in line just like lying Ted.

[danielortega]

Mark Rubio needs to be kicked out of congress for ever.

[luke_skywanker]

Well, something's sure going on there. Maybe DOJ needs to chat with her law clerks and find out who was lobbying her behind the scenes.

[OrdineDivino]

That chant is like being in 1930s Nazi Gemany 🤬

[twill]

Wrong little Marco- he a right to them within the security parameters while he was in office.
Right now, he's not entitled to bupkus.

[mikeharrington]

"...to defend the Constitution against enemies both foreign *and domestic." Yeah, they were cognizant of the threats even back then when they penned that Oath of Office. 😕

[YardHead]

LOCK up the FOOD COURT JUDGE and the Trumpy guy

[gaylesimmons]

The Republican Politicians and Party members, take a word from a statement, and turn in the most assine excuse. When the truth is Trump took Government Documents that he wasn't supposed to have.

[babatundeidowu]

This is Not the America that the world knew before Trump brought his bandwagon of MAGA cult. It's time for a positive reset; vote Blue in November.
