Well I think there isn't a chance of that happening until after Biden gets reelected.

No way Biden does this either way.

You're probably right. But they're isn't a chance before the election.

"A lawyer for Mr Trump asked the judge to impose the strictest penalty for the criminal "atrocity"."

So Trumps lawyers will for sure ask the same for his leaks of confidential material at Mar a Lago /s

Guilty for doing what Trump was already supposed to be doing on his own anyways.

Every state should pass some form of a tax/income disclosure law in order to run for at least certain offices, on my opinion

All elected offices should have glass doors. No privacy or meetings hidden from the public they allegedly represent.

I'm sure this has been commented a lot but my first time seeing it, wow the leaker's name is actually Littlejohn as in Robin Hood's right hand man.

His middle name is also Edward.
