Did you read the indictment? If not, you should. It's not long, and it's easily digestible. They make a very solid case that Trump knowingly, intentionally held onto some of the most sensitive national security documents that we have, knew he wasn't allowed to have them, lied about having them, and tried to hide them even from his own lawyers. Meanwhile, he had them stored in some of the least secured places imaginable.

So what do you think the feds should do? Don't you think not holding someone accountable for that is terrible? And you realize they used a special counsel for the investigation - that's a role specifically designed to be independent from any political bias or manipulation.
