The Obama administration, wrote former New York Times reporter James Risen in December 2016, ‘prosecuted nine cases involving whistleblowers and leakers, compared with only three by all previous administrations combined.’” Obama ruthlessly hid the corruption in his government through fear and intimidation. “It snooped on Fox News reporter James Rosen’s phones and named him as a ‘co-conspirator’ in an Espionage Act leak case. “In 2013, the Obama Justice Department used the Espionage Act to justify wiretapping trunk lines and 30 separate Associated Press phones,” continued the Washington Examiner. It wasn’t used again until the presidency of Barack Obama. The Washington Examiner explained: “But as the left-wing substacker Matt Taibbi pointed out, ‘Anyone thrilled at the prospect of trying to prosecute a former president under the Espionage Act has blacked out the recent history of this law.’ It’s a history of liberal Democrats invoking a notoriously overbroad statute to curb freedom of the press and penalize criticism of government policy.” Wilson used it to unjustly jail socialist presidential candidate Eugene Debs. In 1917, President Woodrow Wilson signed the Espionage Act into law with bipartisan support in response to German espionage however, it has a long history of being abused by Democrats. Mike Davis August 12, 2022īoiled down, the two major questions are: Did Trump violate the Espionage Act? And did Trump mishandle president records, classified or declassified? Contrary to reports by the mainstream media, the answers reveal that these laws were abused by a former president-but it wasn’t Donald Trump. The Supreme Court reaffirmed this in 1987. He has the inherent constitutional power, as commander-in-chief, to classify and declassify anything he wants, in any manner he wants. In theory, the president can declassify anything he wants, but the documents are the property of the National Archives.Īgain, the classification statutes/regulations *do not apply* to the President of the United States. The Presidential Records Act was created in 1978, following the Watergate scandal, and asserts that the government retains complete ownership over presidential records. There are laws governing how these records are handled. These laws have never been used against a former president before. The president has the ultimate authority to declassify any document or presidential record. Yet when these laws are examined, we find that they cannot be used to target a former president.
The wording of the statutes is so broad it opened the door for the search warrant to target “ny government and/or presidential records created between Jan.
In summary, Trump is being accused of destroying classified evidence or having classified evidence that could be a national security threat.
This statute prohibits the destruction of “any record, document or tangible object with the intent to impede, obstruct, or influence the investigation or proper administration of any matter within the jurisdiction of any department or agency of the United States.” This law prohibits the removal of “any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document or other thing, filed or deposited with any clerk or officer of any court of the United States, or in any public office ….”ġ8 USC § 1519. This statute “prohibits communicating, transmitting or delivering to any person not entitled to receive it ‘any document, writing, … or note relating to the national defense,’ or attempting to do so.”ġ8 USC § 2071. §§ 793, 2071, or 1519.” A lawyer broke these down, writing:ġ8 USC § 793-also called the Espionage Act. The warrant grants the seizure of “evidence, contraband, fruits of crime, or other items illegally possessed in violation of 18 U.S.C. There are three statutes in the warrant that Trump is accused of violating. Some of the details further expose the corruption of the current regime. The unsealed warrant reveals that the radical left is following the same pattern of previous attacks on Trump. On August 12, Judge Bruce Reinhart approved the motion by the Department of Justice to unseal the search warrant the Federal Bureau of Investigation used to raid Mar-a-lago, the home of United States President Donald Trump.
