U.S. Justice Dept asks judge to hold Trump team in contempt in documents probe -report
Reuters ^ | 12/08/2022 | Staff

The U.S. Justice Department has asked a federal judge to hold Donald Trump's office in contempt of court for failing to fully comply with a subpoena to return all classified documents in the former president's possession, the Washington Post reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.

U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell has not yet held a hearing or ruled on the request, the newspaper reported.

One of the key areas of disagreement centers on the Trump legal team's repeated refusal to designate a custodian of records to sign a document attesting that all classified materials have been returned to the federal government, the report added.

Trump's side has taken the position that such a request is unreasonable, according to the Washington Post.

They don’t appear to be demanding an attestation as to what was already seized. They appear to be demanding an attestation that Trump no longer possesses any classified materials.

No. I think if Hillary has committed indictable crimes, she should be indicted. Same for Hunter and it appears AOC has a problem. Same for her. I’m not one of those who excuses one side and turn a blind eye when our side does it. I have seen a lot of that here.

But he declassified them, so, he doesn’t have any classified documents at his house.

LOL!

Any of that will happen when Obamas fly out my butt.

You've been here since late 1997 - almost 25 years now - and you actually still believe in the "rule of law".

Damn, son - are you related to Benjamin Button?

A properly crafted subpoena would allow for that response. Your statement would serve as an objection in a series of objections. Unfortunately, objections do not relieve one from providing the documents. The ways to quash or modify a criminal subpoena is claiming that the subpoena is unreasonable or oppressive. (Fed Rule Crim Pro 17(c)(2)). The odds of prevailing in general are slim. With this judge, nil.

You said I’d excuse any bad behavior by the other side. When I shared some of the examples I’d have no trouble with, you shift the goal posts. Typical.

Just pointing out that you're credulous.

I know that it stings.

You've admitted to the fact that you're credulous in the past.

A gentle reminder is not out of order.

Admitting that you goofed isn’t bad and not necessarily admission of being credulous. Using your definition, anyone who changes faiths would qualify. Or switches political parties after learning or maturing.

With all your years on FR, saying something like this is an admission that you're either lying or you're brain-damaged to the point where you can't discern reality.

Considering your positions on FR over the the last couple of decades, I'll opt for the latter.

My reality is full of discernment. I do not care which side of the aisle you are. If you’ve done wrong, not just perceived wrong, but violated a statute, the you should be charged. A lot of folks on both sides of the aisle are willing to accept anything to lock someone up as long as it isn’t someone they admire or even worship. Are you one of those or are you a by the statute person no matter the person.

As I said before - 25 years on FR, and you haven't figured out that there is no law in America.

Only a Jesters System.

You know, one of the biggest jesters was DJT. Why? Do you ever hear him say “I’m ordering the justice department to file the following charges against HRC”? The justice department reports to him. And it would be unusual for a president to do that, isn’t that why he was elected? To do the unusual to make a difference? No, on matters such as that, he was a jester.
