On Friday’s broadcast of Fox News Radio’s “Guy Benson Show,” author, National Review Contributing Editor, Fox News Contributor, and former Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew McCarthy stated that while former President Donald Trump does have ample reason to say he’s been singled out, the indictment against him is “a devastating document. If they can prove half of it, he’s toast.” And he believes more than half of what’s in the indictment can be proven.
McCarthy stated, [relevant remarks begin around 35:35] “It’s a devastating document. If they can prove half of it, he’s toast. And I sense that they can probably prove more than half of it, because a lot of it is recorded conversations, testimony from his lawyers, and that sort of thing. So, I think, Guy, part of the reason that he’s been hitting so hard at the idea that he’s being singled out — which he’s got a lot of basis to say that — part of the reason is his real defense here…is the Hillary Clinton precedent. And I’ve had to try to make this point a number of times today, selective prosecution defenses are very effective in terms of trying to argue to the prosecutors that they should not exercise their discretion to charge. Once they do charge, those defenses don’t help you very much.”

“Yo Andy. When are you GOOBer flunkies going to send FJB’s Gaystapo after the FJB Crime Family Syndicate? Hmmmmm?????”
They’ll get right on it as soon as they see Alan Dershowitz great constitutional scholar and defender jump on it.
I read the Durham report too.
I find reading light fiction is good to help me sleep.
Andy is controlled opposition.
Timber Rattler, we found the antidote for your ‘bite’.
PRESIDENT TRUMP 2024
I wouldn’t put Turley and Dershowitz in the same category as McCarthy, whom. I think is a Republican anyway. Both Turley and Dershowitz have defended Trump.
The indictment is one-sided—there is a defense side that maybe we will get to see
So how does he plan to win the swing states and independent and suburban women voters now, voter fraud aside.
This coming from a NeverTrump, EverVaxx, Neocon, who cheers on the perpetual war machine.
Pardon me if I disregard your Trump Derangement.
Tick Tock...
sorry. there’s recent precedent for this.
since clinton, the courts had ruled the PRESIDENT has the sole discretion to determine what is their private papers and what isn’t. the classification level does not come into it.
SENATOR / VICE President joe biden does not have such capabilties.
Neither does the SEC of STATE, Hillary Clinton.
oops.
they opened the door. the opportunity is there. the right SHOULD take advantage and file similar CHARGES against Pedo Joe and Hildabeast... but they won’t
Big “if”, as they say.
One vote at a time.
Trump is toast. His biggest problem is he did not fully understand how ruthless and how conniving the politicians are in DC. They hate non-political people and use us citizens as pawns to gain power and wealth over us. I am still amazed that we have not had a massive revolution where the people have not burned all politicians at the stake. I mean, come on now. the way they lie to us repeatedly and squander our tax money, throwing it away and then insist they need more and take it without asking? It’s the exact same thing as getting robbed by gunpoint on the streets. Today under the current leadership it is a dictatorship. We have no say, no value, no representation. And the WH lies to us every day. If we challenge the government by force, they call us treasonous. However what the politicians are doing every day is treason. We have lost our country to the money and power of treasonous politicians.OK, I’m off my soapbox.
The Marxists and deep state parasites will get what they want.

Biden: “Trump went to Ukraine and bribed the government to get the prosecutor kicked off the case”
McCarthy: “if that’s true, Trump is in big trouble now!”
Me: “that’s BS - Biden is the one that did it”
Fury: “ Where is McCarthy’s analysis wrong, hmm?”
Btw Fury, while you’re here spreading your propaganda would you mind contributing to Free Republic to keep the lights on and your job? K-thx.

So you’re going to vote for Biden again?
I remember military careers being ruined by losing confidential documents (containing call signs and frequencies) during field exercises.
How much time do outgoing Presidents have to go through their papers to determine what to retain as personal documents?
The Presidential Records Act (PRA) requires the President to separate personal documents from Presidential records before leaving office. 44 U.S.C. 2203(b). The PRA makes clear that, upon the conclusion of the President’s term in office, NARA assumes responsibility for the custody, control, preservation of, and access to the records of a President. 44 U.S.C. 2203(g)(1). The PRA makes the legal status of Presidential records clear and unambiguous, providing that the United States reserves and retains “complete ownership, possession, and control of Presidential records.” 44 U.S.C. 2202. There is no history, practice, or provision in law for presidents to take official records with them when they leave office to sort through, such as for a two-year period as described in some reports. If a former President or Vice President finds Presidential records among personal materials, he or she is expected to contact NARA in a timely manner to secure the transfer of those Presidential records to NARA.
How are documents in the White House determined to be an official Presidential record or a personal record?
The Presidential Records Act (PRA) defines what constitutes “Presidential records” and what are “personal records.” 44 U.S.C. 2201. Personal records include “diaries, journals, or other personal notes serving as the functional equivalent of a diary or journal which are not prepared or utilized for, or circulated or communicated in the course of, transacting Government business.”
The PRA also requires that all documentary materials “be categorized as Presidential records or personal records upon their creation or receipt and be filed separately.” 44 U.S.C. 2203(b). The President does not have discretion to categorize a Presidential record as a personal record.
What are “personal records” under the Presidential Records Act (PRA)?
Under the PRA, “’personal records’ means all documentary materials of a purely private or nonpublic character which do not relate to or have an effect upon the carrying out of the constitutional, statutory, or other official or ceremonial duties of the President.”
No, I’m going to vote for DeSantis, or whoever the Republican nominee is. But that nominee won’t be Trump, especially after this indictment sinks in.
Cranky again this morning, Jon?
You know that, as ex-President, he still gets daily security briefings and classified info/reports? He kept them and other documents in a locked room in the basement of his mansion that has private security along with the secret service protection he still has…
Biden kept his in a cardboard box in the trunk of his corvette…
Who’s being charged for a cavalier attitude?
