The judge in the Clinton socks case dismissed the case because the redress the plaintiffs requested was not available. There was no decision on the merits of the case, so no precedent. Also, there was no claim from the plaintiffs that the tapes were agency records and not presidential records, so the issue wasn’t even addressed in the dicta of the opinion.
“There was no decision on the merits of the case, so no precedent.”
All the legal experts I have heard who discussed the case said the judge ruled, as Trump himself quoted, the records that a president has are his to keep. That was the decision on the merits of the case.
No, the issue of what type records was not brought up because that is an issue that McCarthy pulled out of his ass.
