Maybe hes packin?
He’s worked for Presidents before Trump
And he knew better but decided himself above or exempt from the Laws he was clearly there to protect...how many otherwise good people that mis-handled Classified information, not just retaining it have been sent to Jail or had their careers ended?
I expect Prosecutors had him dead to rights with multiple other charges/instances, but settled on a guilty for one count (which counts as a win) opposed to a protracted Court Case.
Draining the Swamp? I'm all for it but at this pace it will be drained in say.....60 years?
