Robbins: Trump’s document misdeeds put country at risk

If there’s one thing worse than a crooked tyrant, it’s an unpatriotic crooked tyrant, and with the unsealing of the detailed 44-page indictment handed down against him by a federal grand jury in Miami last week, one thing is clear: Donald Trump checks all the boxes. Trump, who began his adult life dodging the draft in order to avoid serving his country in Vietnam, has passed the rest of it dodging criminal indictments for tax fraud, mail fraud, wire fraud and fraud-fraud. He has finally hit a wall in the federal indictment-dodging department. The grand jury charged him with willfully retaining classified documents in violation of the Espionage Act, withholding classified documents, corruptly concealing classified documents and conspiring to obstruct justice, the latter of which Trump commits as casually as he consumes cheeseburgers.It wouldn’t be an indictment of Donald Trump if it did not contain at least one count of making false statements. One surmises that this is the only coun...
