    I thought it was a great showing of support for President Trump, it shows how many Americans still respect this man.
    Hopefully he'll get a fair trial and put an end to this bullshit once and for all.

    Nothing wrong with fellow Americans showing their support for a great President.

    Have you read the indictment? My guess is no. Because as Barr puts it, even if half of it is true, it's pretty damning. How anyone can support a guy like Trump after reading the indictment is beyond my comprehension.

    Trump has zero chance of winning.

    He put those judges in that repealed Roe.

    People will blame him for that.

    And rightly so. And there's no way Independents vote for Trump. There is no good data that will support that argument. Trump will get slaughtered again.

    No such thing as “more Top Secret”. It’s either Top Secret or it isn’t. Sure, things may be more sensitive or have additional caveats, but with respect to violations it’s treated with the same seriousness.

    People in 2016 said there was no way he could win. He couldn’t win the Republican nomination. Then he couldn’t win the general. But he did. The odds are stacked against him, but the future is uncertain. Biden could become dreadfully ill. Or even die God forbid. Or maybe a severe recession. Or something else happens.

    Maybe Saudi Arabia Russia and China conspire to drive up gas prices.
    Ultimately it comes down to a few states. While it is highly unlikely Trump will win the popular vote it is plausible he could win the electoral college. 2020 was still pretty close. Biden is less popular. Most other major democrats probably don’t play well in the rust belt. Harris? Buttegeg? Newsom?

    What? The laws on handling classified information are cut and dry. So are the laws for obstruction. He already basically confessed to taking the documents, and there is hard evidence of the obstruction and improper sharing.

    Yeah, I don't know why some people here are acting like he has no shot. It makes you wonder if the government didn't purposely put this in south Florida so they can blame the judge when he gets acquitted or dismissed. That way, the Dems did what they could and he's off the hook. Everybody wins. At the very least, she's going to make sure there's 5 or 6 Trump voters on that jury. And then all the things mentioned in your video become possibilities as well.

    There are levels of classification. Confidential, Secret, Top Secret, and TS with additional markings like SCI or NOFORN. Legally, by the letter of the law, all classified docs are given the same treatment. And with the Espionage Act, docs do not have to have any classified marking. But for DOJ purposes, they look at the potential severity of the leak when it comes to charging decisions. Accidently leak a confidential doc that had a schedule of meetings a few weeks old, and chances are, the DOJ isn't going to care much. A TS/SCI with nuclear secrets? Different story.

    The woman in KC who just plead guilty likely had access up to Top Secret, but not access to docs with further markings. Just a guess. Trump, on the other hand, we know had docs at the highest of classified levels.

    It's anybody's race at this point. Numerous scenarios I see where either Biden, DeSantis or Trump wins. If you have to explain that to somebody, you're teaching kindergarten.

    Like I said, there are caveats and control markings. That’s what those things you listed are called. You said “the documents in question aren't likely to be as Top Secret as the docs Trump held”. Maybe what you meant to say was “sensitive”, but when you say Top Secret, it means something specific.

    I agree. I just want him to go away. The irony of this is if he’s taken out the GOP will have a better chance of winning the White House back.
