The Box on the floor which was opened (who opened it?) clearly shows there was no “documents,” but rather newspapers, personal pictures, etc. WITCH HUNT!

This is the man who caused the Lois Lerner catastrophe with the IRS. He went after Evangelicals and Great Americans of Faith. The United States had to apologize, and pay major damages for what this deranged lunatic did. He had a unanimous loss in the Supreme Court. His wife is a Trump Hater, just as he is a Trump Hater—a deranged “psycho” that shouldn’t be involved in any case having to do with “Justice,” other than to look at Biden as a criminal, which he is!

Biden moved his Boxes all over the place, including to Chinatown and up to his lawyer’s office in Boston. Why isn’t deranged Jack Smith looking at that? Also, I supplied them openly, and without question, security tape from Mar-a-Lago. I had nothing to hide, nor do I now. Nobody said I wasn’t allowed to look at the personal records that I brought with me from the White House. There’s nothing wrong with that….
….Biden had records for years, totally unsecured, even stolen when he was a Senator. This is crazy! Just like Jack Smith, Lisa Monaco, and the man they sent to the D.A.’s Office, Matt Colangelo. It isn’t America anymore. Under the Presidential Records Act, I’m allowed to do all this. Under the Clinton Socks Case, the decision is clear. There was no crime, except for what the DOJ and FBI have been doing against me for years.

Boxes stored on the White House sidewalk for all to see, prior to being moved down to Florida. Nothing to hide here. WITCH HUNT!
Double Oops! I think it is time to go take a nap. The first posting I said your name was MagsUSNRET and I should NOT have put the s. Second time when I tried pinging you to that post I gave you the WRONG post number.
Lets see what happens now. :-( Go to #2113
Thanks Granny for whipping up a cake for Mag. I don’t know why my oven isn’t working. :-)

I’ve read the entire indictment. And I disagree
@mitchellvii

Let me explain something to everyone about how statutory interpretation works. (And it’s clearly a weak spot for Jack Smith, given his 9-nothing smack down in the Supreme Court on the honest services case against former VA Bob McDonnell and his failed prosecution against wealthy Dem trial lawyer and VP candidate John Edwards. As the Edwards case shows, Smith is particularly stymied by highly complex regulatory statutes.)
Here, Smith is totally ignoring the Presidential Records Act — but it’s on the field and cannot be ignored. When multiple statutes apply, they often must be harmonized.
One of the key principles of statutory interpretation is that the specific controls over the general. And the Presidential Records Act is the more specific statute given what the facts are at issue as alleged in the indictment. It controls here over the Espionage Act unless, perhaps, Smith could show that Donald Trump was acting as a spy giving national defense info to our Nation’s enemies. And of course, he can’t because Trump is so loyal to the US he sweats Americana on a hot day and on a cold day his soup is red, white, and blue.
So ironically, like many of the Left’s plays are really a form of psychological projection, the Espionage Act (as to China, Romania, and Ukraine) perhaps is in the Biden family’s tarot card reading — their fortune telling. But DOJ under Biden cannot simply wish away Trump’s defenses.
Sadly, the Leftist media in their breathless frenzy will not try to educate their viewers on how complex statutory construction works.
And truth be told, most of the relevant viewers wouldn’t get it even if CNN tried. Because they have something akin to immunity to deep rational analysis. To logic. To the law.
They are like paper people who can see in only two dimensions.

Sorry, folks, he’s pretty much busted. This won’t end well
Mr. Trump. :-(
He admits to showing classified secret documents to individuals without security clearance. He also states that he did NOT declassify these as president and they were now in his possession.,

I kept getting a call several times today it just said Washington State. I finally decided to answer it. This is what it was.
Watch the very short video.

Thx, Gran. Will do, after WR.
So sick of Repukes trying to grift off/fundraise off of Trump’s indictment. I’ve lost count of all of the emails I’ve received from these charlatans, today.
The most disgusting one, so far?
From MTG ... w/the the subject line....I’m the reason Trump was indicted yesterday. (Needs a barf alert!)
What a ... well, I can’t say what I think of her, right now.
I had a terrible time with Postimages when I was posting this thread.
And have had trouble since.
I know CB was having trouble posting kitty pictures not too long ago.
It isn’t you, it’s Postimages’ problem!

I see nothing that suggests the Espionage Act of 1917 (since amended several times) was ever intended to apply to a president (which raises very serious constitutional issues) or a former president (the first time the Act has been used against an ex-president is Trump). Indeed, if the intention was to apply it against even an ex-president, and there is no legislative history to suggest such a thing, then wouldn’t all the post-presidential activities of a former president require oversight by the DOJ to ensure that the former president did not violate any aspect of the Act?
After all, a former president has an institutional memory about all kinds of top secret and national security information that could be passed, even accidentally, in the form of a private discussion, etc. How would this even be managed? It is true that a former president is not explicitly exempted from the statute, but the history and practice over the last more than 100 years suggests its inapplicable. This is the ONLY instance in which it was even considered.
Moreover, re the Presidential Records Act, a federal judge in 2012 held in a case involving Bill Clinton, the court has no power to retrieve documents from the former president and the former president has extremely broad authority to retain documents.
