Trump Gets Indicted Because He’s Such a Dumb Schmuck.
So, I read the entire indictment and if you want to read it, you can download the document right here. It’s not very long, only 50 pages, but I’ll save you the trouble and simply say that I think the government has Trump dead to rights.
Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not an attorney and I have never been the subject of a criminal complaint. So, I’m not the kind of ‘expert’ in these matters which would get me on CNN or Fox News.
But I do know how to read English fairly well, and what I read in this indictment didn’t make me feel that Trump’s protestations of innocence won’t get him very far.
Know the name Robert Hanssen? He was a former FBI agent who died last week, but before that he was serving a life sentence in Colorado’s Supermax because he sold counter-intelligence secrets to the Russians for more than 15 years.
They even made a pretty good movie about this story, ‘Breach,’ starring Chris Cooper, Laura Linney, and Ryan Phillippe.
Now, every document that Hanssen sold to the Russians was classified, every document contained information about national security, every document gave our enemy a leg up in its attempts to penetrate our national security shield.
