      “They brought me into this place, you wouldn’t believe it, real hole in the ground, not like my resorts, they’re very nice, big tall buildings, very nice, no but this place, real dump, it was in a liberal part of town, I bet sleepy Joe, sleepy Joe would love, he’d, he’d say to me, he’d say to you, it’s not his job, it’s up to the Justice Department, but this place, it was no good, they showed me these pictures of nuclear weapons, and these pictures, I’ve seen them before, I had them at Mar-a-Lago, they used to be my pictures, and and they were great pictures, just beautiful, and Jack Smith, he, he took away my beautiful pictures, and they showed these nukes, they had big ones, and long-range ones, just beautiful nuclear weapons, the best in the world, even, and they’ve got 'em all over, there’s a base in Utah, very big, very nice base, they have the most nuclear weapons, then another one in Wisconsin, I don’t like that one as much as the one in Utah but it’s still nice, they have a guy there, an Air Force Major he was, and he says to me, ‘sir,’ he says, ‘sir, would you please sign the nuclear weapon,’ and I did, there’s a warhead in Wisconsin with my name on it, someone could maybe buy it, but no, the liberals would never allow it, they’re very uptight people, the liberals, no fun at all, very boring with sleepy Joe in the White House, a disgrace, and there’s another base I almost forgot, that one’s in South Carolina, it’s not as big but there was this cute girl at the desk there, very young, very cute, I almost asked for her number, she had a ring on but I’m not sure if it was a wedding ring or not, I didn’t ask, because you know I was very busy, I was inspecting the nuclear weapons.”

    What is the punishment for disclosing the confidential material that he is reviewing? And what punishment would a “normal” person face? If the answers are anything like the punishment Trump faced for violating a court-mandated gag order, I suspect he will talk about these confidential documents, and punishment will consist of a harsh tone and finger wagging. And don’t be fooled, to the wealthy (or to those receiving large sums in political donations), a monetary fine measured in thousands of dollars is just that: a harsh tone and finger wag.

    IDGAF if he’s the former president. IDGAF if it were Biden, Clinton, or the most liberal/Democratic person in existence. If they break the law, if they break court orders, punish them equally.

    I get that this is required for disclosure of evidence rules in our justice system, but it still feels a little backwards. We’re trying you in court for violating classified documents handling rules, so we’re going to let you look at classified documents.
