Mediaite reports:
Fox News Analyst Jonathan Turley painted a grave outlook for former President Donald Trump following the unsealed indictment alleging he violated the Espionage Act. Turley has previously been aggressive in his defense of most — if not all — of Trump’s legal problems but has previously called the unsealed indictment “extremely damning.”
“All the government has to do is stick the landing on one count, and he could have a terminal sentence. We’re talking about crimes that have a ten or 20-year period as a maximum.”
“The evidence here is quite strong.” he continued before hedging a tad. “Now, we have not heard the other side. Generally, the indictments are a lot stronger on the day they are issued than on the next day, so [Trump’s attorneys] may be able to knock down some of these issues.”

The problem is, he has to run the table,” Turley replied. All the government has to do is stick the landing on one count and I’ll be condemned to a terminal sentence. We’re talking about crimes having a ten or 20-year period of imprisonment — as a maximum. https://t.co/YJYxjHBTNQ
