Top Trump Aide Vows People Will 'Go to Jail' Over Russia Bounty Leaks

Source: MSN

President Donald Trump's chief of staff, Mark Meadows, vowed that people would "go to jail" over reports that Russia offered the Taliban bounties for U.S. soldiers, during an interview with Trump supporter and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani released Friday.

"We know a crime was perpetrated," Meadows told Giuliani of The New York Times' bombshell report. "Whoever leaked this — they didn't even leak the whole story."

Meadows, the top aide to the president and a close confidant, said he expects a criminal investigation and prosecution.

"We're determined to get to the bottom of it," he said. "They're serious about the investigation."

Once again, Republicans will say that the real problem is not that Russia put bounties on U.S. soldiers and that Trump was fine with it. Rather, Republicans will say the real crime is that this information was leaked and not kept secret from U.S. soldiers and the American people.

Why is it a crime?

And if it’s true, why the fuck would Mark Meadows confirm it. The correct answer, regarding classified information is “ no comment.”

Jail time for leaking anything that makes Trump look bad, but not for putting a bounty on troops.

Of course, when he tries to cop an diminished capacity plea, the fact he worried about leaks may be used as consciousness of guilt.
