The Lincoln Project in a newly released video slams those who have enabled Donald Trump after the former president was indicted over allegations that he mishandled classified documents in violation of the Espionage Act.
“Donald Trump indicted again, this time, for violating the Espionage Act,” the video’s narrator says, calling it “one of the worst crimes imaginable.”
The pro-democracy group in the video compares the allegations against the former president to the actions of others convicted under the Espionage Act, including Robert Hanssen Aldrich Ames, Ana Montes, John Walker, Ronald W. Pelton.
“All indicted for violating the Espionage Act with the prison terms that traitors and spies against America deserve,” the narrator says.
The narrator then posits the question, “And what will Trump get?”
“The men and women running against him for president will defend him, praise him, make excuses. They'll lie about the prosecution and make up stories about the deep state to rile up the MAGA base. There is no excuse for espionage. No defense for stealing America's secrets or sharing them with anyone, ever,” the video’s narrator says.
“Trump did this to himself. He took the documents he shared them and conspired to cover it up. Patriots know people who commit this crime belong in prison, not the White House.”
