Casdon Surely prison is the ultimate outcome assuming they have found that he’s stolen state secret papers? I wonder if that would change the view of republicans about him?

No, Republicans have no critical thinking ability.

I don’t believe that. It’s not just rednecks who are republicans.

I don't believe it's an acknowledged fact that only rednecks lack critical thinking ability. Look to Kevin McCarthy, Mitch McConnell, John Bozeman, Tom Cotton.

But half the population of the US is republican, you can’t tar them all with the ‘stupid’ brush.

imaround do polls show Trump, if running again, a chance to win?

This is correct.

Trump is not running for office, yet.

I can only hope that SOMETHING sticks. Treason? Espionage? Tax fraud?

I will take anything that stops him from running again.

He is claiming that he declassified the documents while he was still President so there was no problem with him having the documents at his house.

Absolutely No one can de-classify the top classification known as
Top secret/ SCI.

So he is lying.

There is also doubt about lesser security documents as in order to de-classify Trump would have had to go through a procedure which it is doubted that he did

Someone told me today there is a rule about not investigating someone who is running for office ? And he is ? But they did go after Hilary did they not ?

Someone more knowledgeable than me please ?

No it only applies to a sitting President.

He can’t get off the hook that way.

Of course they all had/have connection to Russia, including Johnson.

Another vote leave instigator/supporter under investigation then. What a surprise!

I don't think anything will change Trump supporters' entrenched view that he is a the subject of a witch hunt. Here's Nigel Farage stoking the fire via his Twitter account yesterday -

"The idea that Donald Trump would keep top secret documents from the Oval Office at Mar-a-Lago is laughable. This is a set-up and people won't believe it."

Just read that the FBI are looking at Farage - good oh.

Let's hope the Justice Department can prosecute him successfully. As for his extremist supporters I think the US educational system needs an overhaul to promote critical thinking abilities.

Read somewhere yesterday, that Trump’s supporters are calling for a civil war.

Hope it is just a silly rumour.

There are significant rumours that the FBI were tipped off by Melania, or by Jared Kuschner

So what else?

1. Insurrection and being investigated - Capital Riots.

2. Wire fraud - he asked for money to be sent to him in order to fight the “fraudulent election”. The money was never used as intended and syphoned off elsewhere.

3. Georgia election tampering. Violated at least 3 criminal election laws. Remember “find me some votes”?

4. There is a civil and separate criminal enquiry over whether Trump inflated the value of his assets in order to obtain large loans.

5. Being sued for defamation by someone who claimed Trump raped her, and he has subsequently gone on to trash her character.

Good egg all around?

Well more difficult this time, and the security services are showing their muscle.

So 3 investigations under the law.

1. Violations under the Espionage Act.
2.Criminal obstruction
3. Criminal handling of government documents.

That’s without all the other investigations.

He will probably wriggle out of it or someone else will be his ‘fall guy’.
