How to reinforce drinking the Koolaid....about the Espionage Act and the Presidential Record Act....

Attorney says Trump grappling with reality: Spending 'decades in jail' hasn't 'sunk in'

Alina Habba, an attorney for Donald Trump, said that her client is still grappling with the possibility that he could spend "decades in jail" after being hit with a federal indictment.

"I know you've been with the president," Fox News host Shannon Bream told Habba on Sunday. "What is his mood? I mean, a conviction here on any number or multiple of these charges could be decades in jail. Has that sunk in?"

"No, I don't think he's thinking of it that way, and I don't really think that's a realistic way to think about this case," Habba replied. "He's done nothing wrong. He said that this is completely politically motivated. It's election interference at its best by a political opponent."

Hey, Alina have you by some chance typed in these two acts.....or is this a parking garage crime....

Espionage Act of 1917...

The statute criminalizes a broad array of conduct related to the mishandling of sensitive government records connected to the "national defense," a term generally referring to military records that if disclosed could damage U.S. national security.


Presidential Records Act....Wikipedia

The Presidential Records Act (PRA) of 1978, 44 U.S.C. §§ 2201–2209,[3] is an Act of the United States Congress governing the official records of Presidents and Vice Presidents created or received after January 20, 1981, and mandating the preservation of all presidential records. Enacted November 4, 1978,[4] the PRA changed the legal ownership of the President's official records from private to public, and established a new statutory structure under which Presidents must manage their records. The PRA was amended in 2014, to include the prohibition of sending electronic records through non-official accounts unless an official account is copied on the transmission, or a copy is forwarded to an official account shortly after creation

When they talk about Clinton or Hunter Biden do they use jail or prison? I haven't paid attention & just noticed with this post.

Projection. Every accusation is a confession.
