Espionage Act, Here We Come

By Hubie and Bertie

A while back, we cats predicted that Jack Smith and the Department of Justice would indict Benedict Donald in the classified documents case before the Fourth of July. Turns out we were only off by... 26 days.

That's okay! We're happy to be wrong. But what a day! It started with the news that Pat Robertson had died, followed by a surprise 5-4 decision by the Roberts Supreme Court to hold up a key part of the Voting Rights Act — an outcome that caused the Cook Political Report to move five 2024 House races in the Democrats' favor. You'd think it was somebody's birthday or something (ha, ha).

We're not legal beagles, but with witnesses still testifying to the grand jury in Miami, it seemed far-fetched that the indictment would happen today as some predicted. But then rumors started flying that DNI Avril Haines was convening the Gang of Eight in the SCIF this afternoon.

Sure, it could have been a meeting about Ukraine's new offensive against Russia. But it must have been a head's up that Benedict Donald would be charged with — our view — taking and sharing critical intelligence with America's enemies (and maybe one of its friends). No word on how shaken the Senators may have looked when they emerged.

We hope we're as wrong about that as we were about Smith's timing. The thought of MBS, Putin, and other scumbags getting their grimy hands on our nation's secrets is scary in the extreme. But knowing what Trump is, it's hard to come to any other conclusion. We cats HISS.
