If you want any story that shows how much of his fastball that he's lost, look at this story and compare it to the intelligence apparatus trying to entrap him in 2016, which he navigated incredibly well. He was deft, intelligent, and forward-thinking to avoid the US, UK, Australian, etc. intel agencies. This documents scenario was a nothingburger situation that he handled about as stupidly as you could do.

I honestly don’t care if Trump committed any “crimes” like obstruction. It’s bullshite, and the DOJ should have nothing to do with this.

However, Trump also knew they are relentless and will do anything they can to smear him, and should have acted in that regard. He appears to have been sloppy and irresponsible if some of the stuff accused is true. If.

More I think about it, the more I'm convinced that Paul Manafort helped him navigate that. Once and since he has been in office he has routinely tripped over his dick in YUGE ways.

And how do you know this? You realize no one has ever treated a former President like this and now the precedent has been set. If I was Joe or Hunter I wouldn’t be making plan after 2024 due to this childish vendetta.

We are down to obstruction in reality. Doesn't this make obstruction moot? How can you obstruct what you have full authority to do?

It seems as if this is a moving boxes like all past President's with the massive amount of content.

Trump's lawyers didn't dig and find every document the DOJ demanded. It seems like a minor dispute.

They can't nab him on perjury when they had no authority to raid his home to begin with.

The Senior FBI agent in charge said that the raid of MAL was seriously flawed. The DOJ had no authority to demand anything. They also W/O Trump's lawyers present could have said they were looking for 47 documents and dropped the 48th in a box.

quote:

“Amy Berman Jackson, the judge presiding on that case, said a couple of very important things,” said Farrell. “That the president had an absolute, unreviewable right to take any records or documents that he wants when he leaves office. “

“No one can come back and second guess or double think or ask questions about what the president elects to take with him,” Farrell continued.

In her ruling, Jackson wrote that “the President enjoys unconstrained authority to make decisions regarding the disposal of documents: ‘although the President must notify the Archivist before disposing of records . . . neither the Archivist nor Congress has the authority to veto the President’s disposal decision.’”

Farrell points out that this ruling has existed without challenge or question for ten years.

No there are more charges, like concealing documents and lying to federal officers.

He doesn't have the authority to conceal unclassified documents from federal investigators pursuant to a subpoena issued as part of an ongoing investigation.

He doesn't have the authority to lie to those federal investigators about declassified documents, either.

Have you read the indictment? This is not what's alleged. They even have text messages from Trump employees about moving the documents around (ie, they knew about them).

Thanks former AG and Constitutional expert Strannix.

Y'all better temper your enthusiasm for the Trump case; otherwise it will be a tough fall. I feel sorry for the guy.

The trial will most likely happen prior to this. If he loses at trial, the appeals will be heard while he's in jail.



scotus has already ruled on this. They will take it up very fast

Doesn't matter little Marxist. Even Ms AMy got it right because the SCOTUS has ruled many times on this.

On concealing the documents of giving false statements to the feds?

You're confusing things b/c you read a tweet and don't understand what you're discussing.

He has zero obligation to even talk to them about it because HIS AUTHORITY is settled.

His people can move box after box after box. It's ok.. Because Trump owns those. It's NOT up to the FEDERAL Gov to say "We didn't allow that."

The case DIES with the fact that the SCOTUS has RULED he has the authority to even decide WHO can see them... CLEARANCE or not.

His authority to what?

These charges can apply if all of those documents are declassified. The President cannot ignore a subpoena request (US v. Nixon), and Trump wasn't President when the alleged concealment/false statements crimes occurred.

Not when they are subpoenaed.

And he can't lie to investigators about them, either.

How does the classification status even apply to the concealment or false statements charge?

Aw shucks you mean Trump can't just "negotiate" with them to give them what he thinks they should get and hide the rest?

Again... Already settled law.

Presidential Records Act, not Espionage Act, controls a former president’s handling of his presidential records—classified or not. Former presidents can have their presidential records. No criminal component to PRA.

Therefore, it’s legally impossible to obstruct investigations into non-crimes.
