Ann Counter: The Trump Indictment
AnnCoulter.com ^ | June 14, 2023 | Ann Coulter

Posted on 06/15/2023 7:20:19 PM PDT by Angelino97

Last week’s indictment of Donald Trump is the latest example of why liberals really should have read my book, “Resistance Is Futile.” Or Aesop’s fable “The Boy Who Cried Wolf.” Either one.

After years of making insane accusations against Trump, from Russian collusion to indicting him for misdemeanor record-keeping errors in his blackmail payments to a porn star, liberals finally have him dead to rights committing serious felonies. And no one believes them.

It’s your own fault, liberals.

Much to my surprise, the documents Trump had spirited away to Mar-a-Lago were not cheesy souvenirs appealing to his juvenile sensibility, like Shaquille O’Neal’s shoe or a picture with Kim Kardashian.

No, the documents he’d stuffed in Mar-a-Lago’s ballroom, bathroom and shower (among other highly secure locations) included information about our nuclear weapons programs, the defense capabilities of the U.S. and other countries, potential vulnerabilities of the United States and its allies to military attack, and plans for possible retaliation.

As Trump’s Attorney General Bill Barr said in an interview with “Fox News Sunday,” these were “among the most sensitive secrets the country has.”...

In another reminder that Trump defenders need to wait a beat before repeating his claims like trained seals, the government has Trump on audiotape boasting about how incredibly “secret” and “highly confidential” the documents are — as he showed them off to people at his Bedminster Club. “As president I could have declassified it,” he told the non-security-cleared person, “Now I can’t, you know, but this is still a secret.”

How many Republicans have sworn up and down that Trump had declassified all the papers he removed from the White House? Now he’s on tape admitting that that was a lie.

Why did he have to brandish a document and say he never declassified it?

If he *HAS* it, it is defacto declassified. Everything Donald Trump took with him is declassified so far as i'm concerned. Don't care what he says. He *HAS* the documents, so by his action of taking them, they are his, and legally so.

Trump would have been unlikely to win the general before this...

Well not until we fix vote fraud in the swing states, but then neither would anyone else win until we fix the vote fraud problem in the swing states.

It's simply not possible now.

Nobody cares about these stupid made up legal charges.

Someone should tell him.

Someone should tell you that you *WILL* get Donald Trump as the nominee.

Who knows himself a braggart,
Let him fear this, for it will come to pass
That every braggart shall be found an ass.

Does anyone have a copy of the documents to which she referred, or was it merely a reference to a document?

How do we know which document it was?

Can the jury see it?

Can we?

Talking about having classified documents seems to be not enough to convict if there is no proof it was published to a third party.

Having possession is not necessarily illegal for a former present, either.

So, what is the evidence of the publication to a third person or persons of still classified material?

Was it in a sock drawer?

It would help if we could all see that evidence, or at least know that the document has been identified and is going to be in evidence.

Ann needs to change her photo. She has been using it for 20+ years. She is now 61 years old.

Former President Trump can have classifed material, but he has to manage that material according to some government regulations.

That management is the border where government and Trump skirmish.

Trump wanted to keep some papers that would prove he had been wronged by the leftwing government departments of JUSTUS. (No doubt, the left wing would like to know exactly what are such papers.)

Meanwhile, Trump also had:

LocationNumber of DocumentsClassification Markings
TRUMP's Office27Top Secret (6) Secret (18) Confidential (3)
Storage Room75Top Secret (11) Secret (36) Confidential (28)

Trump needs to be forthright about how he can, and will, comply with government regulations about managing such material.

A federal judge should:

- dismiss the government’s notions of there being criminal intent,

- dismiss the government’s notions of there being intent to do harm to the U.S.,

- dismiss any and all criminal charges,

- order the Archivist of the NARA and former President Trump, to work out:

- what papers are the responsibility of the NARA,

- what papers are personal,

- what papers need whatever classification markings are necessary (if any),

- where papers and materials go,

and make that so; then report back when the work is completed.

Valid points, but I didn’t intend to relay all the problems with a Biden presidency.

Coulter’s March 30th article over at Takimag is unique.

It’s titled “transgender nation” & she ends her essay by calling Trump a liberal white woman.

Ann is backing DeSantis.

Ann is also a nut job at this point in her childless life.

"Why did he have to brandish a document and say he never declassified it?"

Is there proof he actually showed the classified document to the interviewer? I don't recall any of the people in the room with him at the time say they got to put their hands on it, and looked it over. He could have been waving a totally different document, and allude that it was the classified document he was talking about.

Why would he claim that it was such a document? Isn’t that incredibly stupid?

I'm not going to second guess Trump. I wasn't there. I don't know the context of the conversation, or what actually occurred. All there is, is an alleged audio tape.

He was talking to someone without a security clearance.

Talk to any cop in America.

They legally lie to you.

Really. All of them. Constantly.

Yes she is wrong. Mark Levin and other competent lawyers have torn the governments case to tiny pieces.

He was just messing with people.

He was probably waving around tomorrow’s menu at his club.

The menus are TOP SECRET!

She’s reading Deep State talking points.

He took the nuke codes too!

BTW, they are changed quite often.
