Always some excuse...
The DNC token speaks up for a white guy as instructed!
He never left the plantation and making excuses for staying.
Steppin’ n’ fetchin’ it fer The Big Guy...
Pathetic unacceptable drivel.
These things happen…….bull sh*t !
Only when it’s a rat that got caught.
And the Mar-a-Lago raid was because of . . . ????
Of all the documents between Trump and Biden, we have "0" knowledge of what may have been Declassified at the time they were taken.
Betcha ALL of Trump's had been declassified...but none of Biden's had been or have been declassified.
Now here's a little trick...Biden can reclassify anything while President. He can also declassify anything. Are we going to play some back room game??
But he still had those docs for the 4 yrs BEFORE he became POTUS. That makes it a crime, no matter what he does tomorrow.
Apparently, the democrats running NARA didn’t care about government documents until Trump left the White House.
This shows once again that Trump is being treated unfairly, compared to past Presidents & Vice Presidents.
My prediction is special counsel “Jack off” Smith will fart around & collect a paycheck before handing a “nothing” back to Garland.
It’ll be a Durham 2.0 type thing. It’ll sell in the media & public opinion, but never enter a courtroom.
Did anyone expect a semblance of ethics from James Clyburn?
I sure didn’t.
But he still had those docs for the 4 yrs BEFORE he became POTUS. That makes it a crime, no matter what he does tomorrow.
**************
The reality is neither Trump or Biden are “going down” because of documents that the democrats running NARA can’t keep track of.
Spending time on either “so called” scandal will end up being a waste of time & energy.
And let's guess about his meeting with Newsome. Since when does the President go to flooded areas in Ca. It happens every year. Plenty of Ca folks have posted on FR that have lived there for years have said...not that unusual.
This trip is about Biden informing Newsome that he will be the candidate next time around.
Clyburn and the other Clueless CBC members, and all other Obama lovers want to brush this off keeping the focus on Joe. This should eventually ensnare Barack Hussein Obama these documents were supposed to be under his control. Joe had no power to de classify anything and most of these documents left proper custody on Barack’s watch.
democrats only use law to hurt their enemies.
Hi Clyburn, you fraud! What about these people???
You gonna spring them from prison?

"Mr. policeman I do understand that 3 kilos of meth, 10 thousands hits of acid, 3 M16s, 10 kilos of C4 with det cord, and a copy of the United States Constitution have your concern. Firstly, I must apologize for the copy of The Constitution. My insane conservative wife put it there to incriminate me. Apart from the constitution that my wife put there THESE THINGS HAPPEN
I think I need a new wife."
Yeah, just like Sandy Burglar stuffing classified documents in his socks. No idea how they got there. The Clintons get him off with a slap on the wrist. We’ve seen this act before.
