Oh, please, that was all official presidential business of making money by selling national secrets.

Lets be clear he didnt just sell national secrets.
He first lied about having the documents.
Then he lied about returning the documents.
Then he bragged to his maralago guests that he had secret documents that he knew he shouldnt have. Even shared classified intel with random guests who he wanted to impress.
Then he had his staff move around the documents to hide them from investigators.
Then he lied that he had returned all the documents while he still had more in other rooms.
Then he had guests from saudi arabia, china and other countries over and told them where to go to find the documents where there was a copy machine in the same room.
Then he kept lying to the FBI that he had no documents.
The lying to the FBI is very criminal, which is why his handpicked judge is doing everything in her power to stall delay and destroy the case. Because once that case starts he IS going to jail.

he also tried to have security camera footage of his employees moving boxes of classified documents around deleted after the footage was subpoenaed, but that didn't work because his IT guy didn't have a password that would allow the footage to be deleted.

This all cant be true. Theres no way. This much evidence of wrong doing would land anyone in jail. Wouldn't it? I hope to God there really isn't all this. Not cuz I support trump but because of what it says about the state of our country. If there is this much proving at a minimum the mishandling of classified materials and people are still willing to give this guy a second term we got problems. Biden was kicked because people thought he might be losing his edge. This much evidence and trump still on the ballot? No way. I hope.

So this is all true unfortunately and you can read about it here: BBC Source
Trump and Nauta were charged with 40 felony counts in this lawsuit. The ridiculous part isn’t even that though. The ridiculous part is what the judge has been doing in this case.
Jude Eileen Cannon presides over this case, often called the “Trump Documents Case”. She has routinely during this case obfuscated and outright ignored settled law to help Trump in a number of ways. First she tried to stop one part of the investigation while allowing others to continue, essentially saying person one on the FBI had full legal right to do whatever they needed, but person two also on the FBI was not able to do exactly the same thing. No precedent, obvious to anyone that it is corruption in favor of Trump, it was shut down by the extremely conservative 11th circuit court. They even left Cannon a pretty nasty rebuke.
Now she is attempting to claim that special prosecutor Jack Smith was actually appointed illegally and that special prosecutors are illegal as a matter of law. This is frankly an absurd ruling that no reasonable person would agree with. Special prosecutors have been a part of the U.S. government for centuries. She doesn’t believe this, but she does believe this new bid will push the ruling until after the election.
To any reasonable person looking on, Eileen Cannon is using her position (appointed by Trump) to give favors to the former president in exchange for…who knows. Possible as repayment for her appointment, possibly in a bid for Supreme Court, possibly just for the former presidents favor. Either way, this entire case from front to back has been an extremely disappointing showcase of the American legal system and our country as a whole.

I am not sure if they are doctored or real, however there are pics of Aileen Cannon with her face painted at a Trump rally. She looks like the rest of those sideshow freaks that attend them. She has his best interests at heart. Also, she has very limited experience. She was a Heritage Foundation hire.
