That said, Ad hominem attacks, moral relativism, logical fallacies, and the “but officer, other cars were speeding too” defense to follow:
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.
Self promoting concerns much?
Sure. Go ahead and try to put Trump in prison and see what tens of millions do to the scoundrels.
National Review was always gatekeepers for conservative thought, but at least Buckley was smart and funny.
Now I have no idea why its still around.
What in the world has happened to Andrew McCarthy? I once thought he had his head screwed on straight. Boy was I wrong or has he totally flipped out? He reminds me of Bill Barr who seems intelligent but is dumb as a box of rocks when it comes to Trump. Both he and McCarthy have severe cases of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
So is Andrew McCarthy trying to say that Trump was foolish to not simply sell the documents for ten million like Biden would have? Is that his point?
My understanding is that the FBI put the docs in the bathroom while they were collecting the documents during the raid.
Trump has the power to declassify, so they were not there illegally.
McCarthy mentions nothing of the Biden bribery scheme unfolding, nor a word about Biden who had classified docs as a vp and senator in his garage.
F Andrew McCarthy. These weak hacks need to be purged from the GOP.
People in their right minds who care about the country could never defend the National Review for being such nitpicking Media-Dem supporting aholes.
Andrew McCarthy just made public claims about what documented were in question after the Trump Raid. Trumps lawyers can’t get copies or even a brief description, but a TB hack now has full access.
They secrets can’t be important if the journalist already know what in the papers……. Somebody already leaked it from the DOJ or FBI, which means it’s not important.
Either that or it’s just another political garbage article. Just saying
If there is one thing Andrew McCarthy knows, it’s frivolous.
“he was storing the crown jewels of national defense”
Andrew McCarthy should do stand-up comedy. Does he know what the documents actually contain? If so, charge him with espionage. If not, he’s a spinning fraud.
Lemme see. Rich Lowry or Andrew McCarthy. Wanted to guess before I looked as to which drek wrote this crap.
Jeez, not Andrew McCarthy again.
This guy is SUCH a loser. A pathetic, friendless loser.
Typical ignorance of the NR.
Andrew McCarthy is a deep state supporting scumbag.
If they are the crown jewels of national defense supposed to be kept from even the eyes of President Trump then please explain why the very act under which they become property of the U.S.Government and kept at the National Archives specifies the former president shall have access to them. There is no reserve on that part of the act.
No one is going to say, “If a Democratic former president had done what Trump did, I’d be fine with that.”
Really? 15,000 secret, Top secret, confidential, including TS satellite photos in a unguarded furniture warehouse in Chicago, with no government copies or originals, and not a single Democrat says a word.
They were all ‘fine’ with that.
