a) Smith charges Trump with unlawful possession of classified docs beginning the day he left office, January 20, 2021;
b) Months later, the DOE pulls Trump's 'Q' clearance but backdates the removal to January 20;
c) there is no clearly stated legal requirement for a President to have a clearance, nor the procedure for acquiring one. Such a requirement would mean the bureaucrats have a legal right to withhold information from the President, which is absurd.
d) there is no history of any President or Vice President being charged regarding handling classified docs, despite the fact that all past Presidents are known to have retained oodles of classified docs
This also shows how important it is that the case is being tried in Florida and not DC, as the DC circuit and court of appeals are clearly tools of the Democrats after Obama expanded the size of that circuit. Almost like they were planning to indict their political opponents.
Great post. Thank you.
