Most GOP voters fear Trump classified document indictment is political: poll

By Josh Christenson

More than three-quarters of Republican voters are concerned that the indictment of former President Donald Trump for allegedly mishandling classified documents is politically motivated, according to a new poll.

The CBS News/YouGov survey found 76% of likely GOP primary voters said they were more worried that the indictment was political, while just 12% said they were more concerned that the documents Trump, 76, allegedly retained posed a national security risk.

Another 12% said they feared both that the indictment was politically motivated and that the documents — which allegedly contained nuclear information and military plans — also presented a national security risk.

Four out of five likely Republican primary voters said they thought Trump should still be able to be president if he is convicted in the documents case, while just 20% view a conviction as disqualifying him from holding office.

Of course it's political.  It doesn't mean he's not guilty of being an idiot.

Being an idiot is NOT a crime @Jack Russell

Yes, and sometimes merely being an idiot is not a good reason to prosecute, even if the evidence of a violation is clear, precisely because of superseding political considerations.

Back during the Obama regime, the 'Rats thought they'd be real cute and allow lower-court judicial appointments to be confirmed on a simple majority vote, instead of the 2/3 vote that had historically been required - McConnell used that to their lasting lament by proceeding to apply the same rationale to Supreme Court nominations and getting three conservative (more or less) justices seated, despite heated 'Rat opposition and a very slim majority.

I hope that the 'Rats will also end up regretting this decision.  Personally, I hope that the first thing that happens after Biden leaves office is that he is indicted for bribery.

No, but it could be a powerful defense in this case.
