No, that wouldn’t be a legal defense, but I doubt the government could prove otherwise, or else they would have deposed those persons. I think President Trump was just being theatrical when he said it was a “classified” document to whomever he waved it at. If it’s unclassified, it really doesn’t matter.

This is the indictment stage. Perhaps deposing witnesses will come later during the trial... Isn't it that the way it is done? Please as a legal head, correct me if I am wrong.

Deposed simply means to testify under oath and out-of-court. This indictment was unlike any in history. Generally, indictments contain generalized information, saving the details for the trial, but this one is chock-full of intricate details, including the testimony of several “witnesses” who made statements under oath, including some of President Trump’s attorneys who were forced to do so. I don’t think the DOJ is aware of who the document was waved at or shown to. President Trump doesn’t have to rein in his mouth. We love him just the way he is. His mouth is what got him results—from NK, China, and the NATO countries. It won’t be his downfall because there will be no downfall. Making up fake crimes to try to prosecute him will be an exercise in futility.

You are underestimating the opponent, a tactical mistake. Of course they are aware! How would they even know about these incidents if someone who was present didn't tip them off? And the 6a indictment mentions that present were a writer, a publisher, and 2 members of DT's staff. Come on, they know who were present and who the document was waved at or shown to!

Again, I like my leaders to be wise as serpent, to measure their words and actions, to be strategists. Not petulant personalities whose words and actions we have to constantly defend as we are facing the greatest threat to our world as we know it.

Aren't we tired of losing yet? Apparently not.

Suggest you learn to count. I've seen live television coverage of Trump supporters around the Miami courthouse which number in the thousands.

George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley, in an op-ed Tuesday, was critical of both the Justice Department’s pursuit of charges against former President Donald Trump under the Espionage Act of 1917 and the act itself.

Turley’s opinion piece came in the left-wing outlet Daily Beast. While he acknowledged that images from the 49-page indictment show boxes of documents stored in a restroom at Mar-a-Lago, and noted that no one would legitimately contend that is a proper way to store such documents, he zoned in on the law’s reference to an “intent to harm” U.S. national security:...................

I didn't even mention DS in my post...

But since you mention it, are you saying that a bumbling leader who cannot be trusted to do and say the right things is a better option?

Do you have a link? What was it exactly that DS said to the reporter that makes it juvenile? Did he say something that we would have to twist ourselves into pretzels to excuse and explain - like the mental gymnastics we have to do to excuse some of what DT says?

I am genuinely confused. Are you expecting a leader to NEVER lose his temper and snaps at someone? A leader is still human, so that was not the gist of my point. My point is that a leader should measure his words and actions. Maybe I should have added "for the most part" since apparently you took it to mean 100% of the time.

It would have been nice of you to provide a link of DS outburst at a journalist so I can see for myself what you call juvenile...
