Life ban bet if Trump loses and appeals it will not be from jail?

There is one fundamental difference you seem to be missing regarding Biden and his documents.

Which is what, exactly?

I'm not talking about the documents he was already found with, so that dog won't hunt.

I don't do criminal stuff in federal court but explain what's wrong with my statements.

Do federal criminal proceedings have interlocutory appeals?

We have that here in LA, but I thought that wasn't an option with the feds. All the appeals had to be taken post-trial.

The feds let you out on an appeal bond if you appeal a conviction?

That's a serious question.

That’s what they are hoping by ignoring it all together. But it overlaps and cannot be ignored.

Problem for them Is the PRA says the president determines what is a personal record, and there is no ambiguity there.

They can’t say he illegally retained something when the PRA gives him the authority to take what he wants.

The TDS people at the archives had no business trying to decide for him what he can have. PRA says it’s his decision. Not theirs.

The question is if the PRA can do that with these documents. It's not something that's been specifically litigated.

It's certainly better to just move past that for the purposes of justifying this indictment considering the discovery and handling of those records correctly fell under the PRA

They are 2 completely unrelated and separate incidents, but his attempt at a gotcha is utterly irrelevant to the post he quoted.

My hypothetical was about Joe Biden the President. Not about what illegal stuff Biden may have done previously.

PRA - to my knowledge - doesn’t say it only applies to certain documents. It was written to apply to all records.

Second - disputes over the PRA are not criminal. But that’s exactly what Smith tried to do. Apply some statutes from the Espionage Act to make it criminal.

When this gets slapped down - it will be
embarrassing. If they had any shame.

So we're arguing that Trump can't be jailed?

He'd probably be sent to isolation or protected custody with a SS agent outside the cell.

This is all anyone needs to understand. The rest is just noise.

Garland is trying to ignore the PRA. Yet it supersedes everything in this case as long as the documents were in his possession before Biden was sworn in. And I still think Trump has leeway in that.

Again, what courts have specifically ruled on these types of documents?

He's not charged under the PRA

The statutes can apply, though, theoretically. Again, this hasn't been specifically litigated.

and if it doesn't, you'll claim the judges were compromised

I’m stating Trump won’t be jailed in any fed penitentiary.

The PRA may not apply to these specific documents, which also may not be of the type to permit unspoken/uncommunicated "declassification". Assuming a court rules what I just said is true, what is Trump's defense?

If he's found guilty is he going to become Escobar and get "jailed" at his compound?

Where is your evidence of this? It’s pretty clear the president’s powers to declassify are plenary. It doesn’t matter what kind of documents.

I'm waiting for the caselaw. There isn't a controlling opinion b/c the PRA hasn't been litigated that much.

Hence why I said "may not".

What case has specifically authorized the President to mutedly "declassify" nuclear and/or national defense secrets?
