The claim that classified intelligence reports generated by the Defense Department and U.S. spy agencies, for which the American taxpayer expends hundreds of billions of dollars per year, are somehow the “personal records” of Donald J. Trump under the Presidential Records Act.

The Defense Department and U.S. spy agencies all answered to the President of the United States. This preposterous claim by — that the President is somehow subservient to executive branch agencies that are wholly under his authority — is exactly what I would expect to hear from useless career bureaucrats like Andrew McCarthy who have constructed a fourth branch of government out of thin air.

If you pick a scab enough, even an old one, it will bleed.

I wonder just what Obama and Biden said on record that will NEVER hear the light of day nor have an FBI agent furiously copying the recording so he can share it anonymously with the New York Times and ABC News?

I had always thought better of Andrew McCarthy, but this statement by him has changed my mind. He has become nothing but a tool of the deep state. Maybe he always was one.

Most importantly, no one is going to say how sloppy other officials have been w/documents.

Because that would actually provide some perspective.

Article 2 - the president can take anything he wishes, share it with anyone he wishes and talk about anything he wishes.

You might want to learn a little more before swallowing the paid opposition nonsense. Watch the Barnes video and learn.

One is not mutually exclusive of the other. I’m going to call him stupid and corrupt until further evidence is brought forward.

Sometimes people do, but this one is on tape and will be presented/played during proceedings.

The “Crown jewel” of nation defense is Millies plan to invade Iran? I hardly think so. Plus they are Trump’s documents so they were vitally important to him , maybe he was working on a book about his time as President?

The same military who thought it was fine to keep troops in Syria while conspiring to lie to Trump that his orders had been followed and they were all out? At a certain point, all outrage becomes fake.

“I’m going to call him stupid and corrupt until further evidence is brought forward.”

They have no evidence against Trump. The indictment is illegitimate, according to dozens of legal experts.

Sure. Go ahead and try to put Trump in prison and see what tens of millions do to the scoundrels.

Rush didn’t live long enough to see the complete beclowning of the National Review and McCarthy.
