Federal prosecutors have charged Donald Trump with violating the Espionage Act and conspiring to obstruct the criminal investigation among other counts, according to a person familiar with the matter, a historic development marking the most significant legal peril yet for the former president.

Well, I'd like to see ol Donny Trump wriggle his way out of THIS jam!
*Trump wriggles his way out of the jam easily. Ah! Well. Nevertheless,

He's not wriggling out of this. Dude tried to overthrow the government, they're going to hit him with everything they can legally prove. I know a lot of people are disillusioned with the system because the wheel of justice has been grinding slowly but it has also been grinding thoroughly. Motherfucker is going to be 00 flour by the time they're done with him.

Edit: That's if he doesn't commit suicide. I'd bet my bottom dollar he'd rather off himself than face the consequences of his actions, especially at his age. Too many bone spurs in his spine.

Would I love to see him put in handcuffs on live TV? Yes.

Do I think it will ever happen? No. Literally everything has been "This is the one" and it never is.

I'm optimistic that the DOJ will do...anything, I guess. But im realistic at this point that he will never face any actual consequences over what he's done.

That's along the lines of what people said in response to me claiming since about two years ago that he'd be charged with anything at all before the next general election and yet here we are. You're not being realistic, you're being pessimistic. The shithead fucked with the system, they're going to make sure he can't hold a public office again and even republicans that are upholding their public facade of support are chomping at the bit behind closed doors for his conviction.
