2019 tweets after “Russiagate”, fresh as if he just truthed ‘em yesterday

Speaking of spying or treason, under the Espionage Act, which Trump has been indicted for violating, all the government has to prove is that the defendant had classified documents he was not allowed to have, that he handled them carelessly. In the ex- president, future dictator on day one’s case, while also in a position to give or sell them to the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Jared’s buddy, or perhaps a fine fellow like Vlad Putin, or Xi, or Orban. 

Add in his recently released filmed obstruction of justice, evidence in the case against him, surveillance video showing his hapless  workers moving boxes, at his direction,  into new hiding places to avoid being seen by the FBI and his lawyers who could then swear that they had never seen the documents he had them falsely declare had all been returned.  He was also trying to make sure the dozens of proofs of his crime were not seized and used as evidence against him.

The only thing he has going for him in that case is the female Alfred E. Neuman who is presiding over US v Trump, after the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals forced her to dismiss Trump v US for lack of jurisdiction and abuse of discretion.

Both cases, the illegal one preemptively brought by Trump to block the government’s case against him, involve the identical fact pattern. She is one dedicated Colombian/American woman, Judge Cannon (shout out to her colleague and countryman Juan Merchan) working her ass off for the man who appointed her.   It appears she’s hoping he’ll reward her doglike loyalty with a Supreme Court seat.  She couldn’t be a more obedient lapdog to reactionary oligarchs religious and racial extremism, than Alito or Thomas. She would be at home on the John Roberts supreme Court.

She’s presiding over the stolen documents trial, for the moment, anyway, but, though she has the most brilliant legal minds at the Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation advising her how not to overstep the bounds of her discretion every step of the way, she doesn’t seem to be that much sharper than her severely limited benefactor, the guilty acting criminal defendant who would be dictator, though only on day one.

We’ll see how much stronger her impulse control remains as she continues wildly lashing out at the Department of Justice on the defendant’s behalf.

Part of being a good Nazi is showing your willingness to show you have the stomach to do whatever needs to be done, and the unflagging stamina to do it by any means necessary.
