after turning himself in to the miami federal courthouse. hundreds supporters took to the streets outside the courthouse. some even prayed for trump at a cafe that he arbitrarily stopped at as he left the courthouse. seemed kind of relaxed. the justice department is alleging, in case you ve been in a cave, that the former president mishandled classified documents that included u.s. defensive weapons secrets, even an attack plan on an unnamed foreign power. fill in iran. 31 charges file the espionage act. whatever you think of donald trump s actions, let s put it into context. the espionage act is over hundred years old. president woodrow wilson signed it into law to protect the nation from foreign spies during world war i. most prosecutions involving the espionage act have been reserved for actual spies. even trump s worst critics are not alleging that he passed classified material to russia or china, or anybody else. the espionage act makes clear that espionage is defined as
he s a disgrace. he was deputy director of the fbi. he leaked information about the doj s active investigation into the clinton foundation to to a wall street street reporter. prosecutors declined to charge mccabe. he was awarded with a cnn contributorship. ly see him all the time on cnn talking about drum roll, please donald trump leaking. now what s the point? the point is you could acknowledge that mishandling and leaking classified material, like donald trump has been accused of doing is wrong. we think it s wrong, but the fact the practice seems to be routine. that s sad. just the last week, for example, remember the story, an anonymous government official leaked classified information about a chinese spy base operating in cuba. these leakers were never charged with crimes. in fact, no one is looking for them. the media and washington bureaucracy only care about
durham s not even i mean, this is a serious investigation by the department of justice but we are going to have to see if he calls a grand jury. we may not know that. it may leak. we may find out. but this is a very serious investigation by john durham and horowitz. sean: will people be held accountable and charged? sara carter? they better be. they better be. because the american people are not going to put up with a two-tiered system of justice. sean: john solomon, will people be charged? le i ll wait to see. i don t have a high degree of confidence that will happen unless more evidence comes out. they had an opportunity to charge mccabe, an opportunity to charge comey, so far they have passed. sean: so they only charge paul manafort, general flynn, michael cohen, but the other guys did the same thing and get away with it, tom fitton? it won t happen unless there is more transparency like this, because of the corruption sean: keep it up. we got to keep the pressure.
it, the memo was there to say, this may not have been about hillary clinton. it s a game of telephone tag, but i don t see how even if that s the case, rudy giuliani kind of hinted at this, and it s not an obstruction of justice. he can fire them for anything he want. your reaction to this, again, a wild swirl right before this new oig report comes out and whether they decide whether they will charge mccabe. i spent 21 years in washington and one thing i noticed about the bureaucrats and the people who make it to the top of top of the agenciesy are superb at navigating through the washington system and that includes how they handle the media. so any time something bad and looming, that s the time you go into overdrive to get your story out ahead of time to preempt the bad stories that you know are
to mccabe the memo was there to write down, this may not have been about hillary clinton, there may have been russia interest going on here. a game of telephone tag. but even if that s the case, rudy giuliani hinted at this. it s not obstruction of justice. he can fire him for whatever reasons he wants. but unless there with corrupt intent. your reaction to this wild swirl before this ig report comes out and before they decide they re going to charge mccabe. i spent 21 years in washington and one of the things i noticed about the people who make it to the top of the agencies, they are superb at maneuvering the washington system and that includes how to handle the media. any time something is bad coming out in the press, that s about to come out from the fbi, that s the time you go into overdrive to get your story ahead of the time to preempt the bad stories
