Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said Friday on MSNBC’s “The Last Word” that former President Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign is an attempt to protect himself from legal consequences of his “criminal actions.”
Raskin said, “Jim Jordan and James Comer, and the MAGA forces running the House of Representatives, would much prefer to arraign the entire law enforcement agencies of America, at the FBI, and others on charges that they are part of a vast conspiracy to get Donald Trump, then to accept the possibility that Donald Trump actually swiped hundreds of confidential and top secret government documents, and then hid them in his residence at Mar-a-Lago, even when there is photographic documentary evidence of his having done so.”

Like the democrats did with dementia joe for the 2020 election
Commie spew…
It’s interesting that he should mention that. I believe that the campaign against Trump being waged by the Media-Dem Party is primarily to protect themselves from the legal consequences of their ocean of lies, fraud, and all-around dishonesty over the last 8 years.
This guy is a real fake hair, Communist. Has been for years— and the people in his district (Montgomery County, MD) are highly paid fedgov trough eaters who support all he redistributes of the REST of the country’s workers and investor. He has no shame, lies worse or equal to Schiff without to fine a point of it. Monkey County encompasses many of the medical military industrial complex of globalist siphoning Beltway bandits and fedgov “institutions”.
“Raskin added, “At this point, the Republican Party is operating like a shield, like an umbrella for people who come underneath it to try to hide their past offenses.”
It’s ironic.... how he literally described, to a “T”, the crooks and traitors in the DemocRat Party. The leftists are always experts in lying and projecting.
Trump had the lawful authority to remove documents as President. They were not “swiped”.
If Trump’s 12-member petit jury is not allowed to see the documents, why should a 25-member grand jury (of which none are known to have a top secret/SCI clearance) have the right to see them?
The National Archives has the right to just one copy of every Presidential document.
I believe Trump is the “decider” when it comes to what is a Presidential document.
The Speech and Debate Clause is saving Raskin from civil liability and criminal consequences.
Once again projecting.....So Alinsky and so predictable.
Raskin knows that’s just another of his lies, because the Left’s interest in persecuting Trump would stop the second he lost or withdrew.
Trump’s alleged “criminal actions” have all been manufactured by you and your lying cohorts....documented!!! How can this schmuck, or any of them, face themselves in the mirror without laughing???.....’cuz we sure are!!!
That is exactly right.
President Trump had a duty to keep Presidential papers separate from personal papers.
Why should he have reason to believe well over twelve months from leaving office that many, many boxes of personal papers also had quite a number of papers with classification markings?
Why were his copies of documents with classification markings not sought by White House staffers for placement back into White House safes?
Mr. President, your Tuesday morning classified briefing document apparently has not been stored back into its safe. If you find it...
The National Archives has no right to Presidential copies of agency documents.
If Trump stuck a marked document into a stack of papers to hide it from personal quarter staffers who might walk into his room and find it before answering a call of nature, and then has to attend to important official business and forgets about the hastily stored marked document, does that make him a criminal?
Not from the speeches ive seen Prison Jamie. Relax bro.
Just what “criminal actions”?????

Speaking of J6, what happened to the tapes?
So then it's not just a matter of Personal vs. Presidential records. The president can take copies of presidential records...which is what he did.
This was the plan all along..sell, Trump as the bad guy..so, the real bad guy (the entire dim party,fbi and the RINOs that love them) doesn’t seem so bad.
IOW..the “everybody does it” excuse...so, Trump is fair game.
I forgot fake news.
