under the very same espionage act that trump is complaining about being charged under. and more than three years after the murder of george floyd under the knee of a minneapolis police officer, the doj finally releases the damning findings of their investigation into the minneapolis pd. but we begin tonight with the rantings of a twice indicted former president who seems to forget that history is well chronicled and easily searched. at his bedminster golf club earlier this week where it s cited in the special counsel s indictment that he on two occasions shared classified documents with people lacking security clearances, donald trump attacked the use of the espionage act under which he s being charged. charming a former president of the united states under the espionage act of 1917 wasn t meant for this. an act for a crime so heinous that only the death penalty would do. it s one of the most outrageous and vicious legal theories ever put forward in an american court of
that was your measure of success. that s how you pleased daddy. and to donald, he believes, like the french sun king, that he is the government, and that s absolute nonsense in a democracy. donald, remember, claims to be the world s greatest expert on 23 subjects. one of them is a subject as you know i m regarded worldwide as an expert on, tax policy. donald doesn t know anything about any of these subjects. he doesn t know more about isis than the generals. he doesn t know anything about nuclear weapons. the holding of these documents is tied up with the emotional horrors of his childhood and this need to hang on to things like someone who longs for their pet stuffed rabbit or doll from when they were a child. and at the same time, you know, donald knows value. whatever else you think of donald, he can look at a piece of land and say e oh, i can get value out of that building other
this same need and this belief, by the way, that he has like the french sun king that i am the stake, which is complete nonsense. and donald will never in his life, sadly, feel the joy, love, contentment. he ll say to every audience, we love you. but it s not a part of who he is. everything about him is transactional. these documents serve that function. they also have a second function. and that is he thought to protect and insulate him. and then when the fbi executed a search warrant, there was no raid, no busting into his house. they made an appointment, they showed up, they weren t armed. they were dressed so nobody would think they were fbi agents. when they showed up to get these documents from trump, i wrote back then that donald has no idea how to interpret national security documents, which are written in a way that requires an understanding of how they re drafted.
It s difficult at this stage to assess the strength of the Manhattan district attorney s indictment against Donald Trump, but as once was spoken, duty is duty.
