I won’t be shocked to hear that Trump was shot while trying to escape. We just seem to be that kind of country now.
If Biden wants to raise his poll numbers, he should pardon Trump immediately.
Comparitively speaking as far as keeping classified material between several high profile politicians. Why have classified material around after you are no longer in a position to use it.
Walking off of the job and taking some copies of “mementos” which are classified with you? What purpose that serve? It is flawed reasoning by all parties both past and present. Rather stupid behaviour IMHO by all individuals.
Could Trump conceivably call all living former presidents to testify about their treatment of classified documents?
,
We will do the same when you run for re-election.
They threw the book at Trump in hopes the news would be on Trump, this week. and not on the bidens..
They have known what biden was doing, and saf on it for those years. They let joe be President, knowing he was taking millions from other nations for favors.
We the people, in their view, are dumb enough to tell lie after lie and we will buy it
Hillary and Biden “mismanaged” classified documents without being President.
I am of the opinion there is no crime. Unless it can be shown in regards to the documents that Trump or the others “... has reason to believe could be used to the injury of the United States or to the advantage of any foreign nation” All they have done is be careless in handling the information. What about the “ willfully retains the same and fails to deliver it to the officer or employee of the United States” part?
Now although under the Presidential Records Act the President at the end of his term is by law to surrender documents that come under that law including classified documents failure to do this is not what USC 793 is referring to. The distinction is this “retains the same” that same refers to the documents/information mentioned previously. Now remember these are documents the “possessor has reason to believe could be used to injure the United States or to the advantage of any foreign nation.” Just as it is not enough to have the documents it is also under this act not enough simply to fail to deliver those documents. He has have reason to believe they are documents that could be used to injure the U.S....”
Failure to turn documents over to the archivist is certainly not a violation of the Espionage Act. To claim so is pure assfoolery. Now I argue the president is exempt from the Espionage Act. But even if he is not,since the president is the Commander in Chief and given broad powers under the same. That includes deciding who shall be given access and possession of national defense documents (classified or not). That control would logically mean the president is not subject to the demand of any officer or employee to surrender those documents as stated in USC 18 793.
The Presidential Records Act is 44 USC 2200. I am unable to find any penalty for not meeting the request of the archivist. Maybe it is in another chapter.
Every administration since President Ronald Reagan’s has mismanaged classified documents
What classified documents? The ones the DOJ has said they were recovered but won’t show them? Issue is, that I never see brought up, the lawyers can be ‘read in’. People are ‘read in’ for access to all sorts of government operations that require a clearance. You’re briefed on the non-disclosure stuff, the penalties of leaking, etc, sign some paperwork saying that your lips are sealed and, voila, you can see the documents.
One of the problems I see is, if DOJ did that, defense could them challenge the “classification” of the documents. IE…..This document is dated, ????, on that date is was given this classification, now you’re saying it’s been changed? Who changed it?
Thanks for the PING.
I’m sure President in Exile Trump’s lawyers are all over this.
What a crock. I HATE the times we’re living in. How I loathe Mother Government! *SPIT*
Trump charged. Biden and Hillary skate. Equal justice under the law my ass.
BTTT
We’re on the same train tracks as Rhodesia, South Africa, Venezuela, etc.
And the “locomotive” is running on steroids.
At some point, there has to be “resistance” to this utter communist/racist BS.
Today, this afternoon, EVERY single Republican should stand on the steps of the Capital and in the states on the steps of their legislatures and DENOUNCE THIS. If not, I will never support any of them.
I’m sorry, this is Ukraine style corruption and the GOP better wake up, not tomorrow, but today.
“But then this isn’t about actually winning the case, but winning an election.”
Exactly. It’s about putting doubt into people’s minds about Trump. The charges will eventually be dismissed or he will be exonerated, but I guarantee they will drag this out as long as possible.
That said, why don't we fix the rules for handling classified and then follow the law?
The only people who are ever punished are underlings, and the price is usually very high.
This is what a collapsed failed state looks like.
