I couldn’t read it. There were semen stains all over it.
I've been through it with some detail.
His body man NEVER should've talked to FBI without a lawyer. Process crime. He claimed he didn't know anything about the movement of boxes at Mar-a-lago when it's clear he moved boxes himself. Stupid.
A couple of the charges make no sense when you read the supposedly supporting statute. They are misconstruing the term "cover up" which in the statue literally means hide, deface, etc. like the words it's next to.
Most of them are "He had documents!" charges.
At NO POINT do they allege he tried to sell or share the documents with enemies of the United States or tried to profit from the documents.
They spend a lot of time claiming that Trump was reviewing some boxes of documents over time in the residence while they were negotiating with the National Archives. So what?
At one point he had an old classified map and told whoever was in the room with him not to get closer because it wasn't for their eyes. At another moment he talks about a file he'd just found that "proves" his claim the DOD came up with an invasion plan, not him.
Sounds like he didn't even know what was in all of these boxes or where.
This is a bit overblown and none of this would've amounted to anything if he'd not kept any mementos from his time as POTUS unlike all his predecessors. Right?
I expect Trump could be found "guilty" on one or more charges depending on the jury. This really seems more politically motivated than equal justice under law.
The photos of boxes in the bathroom, including one that looked marked for Melania, is sensationalist and not substantive. I need dates on the photos for context. I didn't see where they say when Trump moved these documents to Mar-a-lago. Was he still POTUS or was it after noon, January 20th, 2021?
“I couldn’t read it. There were semen stains all over it.”
Next time try like a Playboy or Penthouse or something.
What a steaming pant load of BS legalese to pretend this was an actual honest investigation with no political nexus.
.
Everything Trump did, contradicts their frame up.
From the beginning the boxes could be easily seen-known leaving the White House. And then to Fla. No where else.
No willful intention to hide anything.
Boxes have to go somewhere. From the pics don’t see anything hidden.
Nothing hidden in the walls.
Why would someone talk about something at a resort they were trying to hide?
