More reckless is espionage by Braggadocio. There should be a 2nd indictment filed against Trump for the Espionage Act case.
Jack Smith could seek another superseding indictment against former President Donald Trump in the documents case based on Trump’s alleged discussions of nuclear submarine secrets with an Australian billionaire member of Mar-a-Lago.
At present, Trump has only been indicted for the willful retention of sensitive information, but not the dissemination of it. As with willful retention, dissemination is also a crime under the same section of the Espionage Act charged in the indictment, 18 U.S.C. § 793(e), punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
Interestingly, Pratt is on Jack Smith’s list of potential witnesses who could testify against Trump at the classified documents trial, but Smith has not indicted Trump over this allegation. A possible reason why Jack Smith has not indicted Trump for the alleged dissemination is concern over the disclosure of such sensitive national defense information at trial. Instead, Pratt’s testimony could help show a pattern of Trump’s recklessness in the handling of classified information.

Stephanie Grisham, who was White House press secretary from July 2019 to April 2020 and was the First Lady's press secretary before and after that, later said: “I watched him show documents to people at Mar-a-Lago on the dining room patio. So, he has no respect for classified information, never did.”[22]
On August 30, 2019, Trump tweeted a classified image of recent damage to Iran's Imam Khomeini Spaceport that supposedly occurred as a result of an explosion during testing of a Safir SLV.[76][77] Within hours of the tweet, aerospace experts,[77] as well as amateur satellite trackers,[78] had determined the photograph came from National Reconnaissance Office's USA-224, a highly classified reconnaissance satellite that is part of the KH-11 series of multi-billion-dollar spy satellites.[77]
In an April 29, 2017, phone call, Trump told Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte that the U.S. had positioned two nuclear submarines off the coast of North Korea. This was during a time when Trump was warning of a possible "major, major conflict" with North Korea.[81] The locations of nuclear submarines are a closely guarded secret, even from the Navy command itself: "As a matter of national security, only the captains and crew of the submarines know for sure where they're located."[82]
(Usually, you can tell if a man has interest in naval warfare. That is one of the first things you know about him, usually.)
Washington Post columnist Alexandra Petri mocked the four-times indicted Trump, claiming he found it impossible not to keep blurting out national secrets.
“Donald Trump has two modes of conversation,” wrote Petri.
“He is either ranting about all the things he intends to do when he becomes dictator of the country — so many rights to strip away! so much vengeance to extract against his enemies! so many guardrails to dismantle! — or he is volunteering classified information.
“Those are really it. If you don’t want one, you have to buckle in for the other.”
