Oh ANDY McCarthy, not Charlie. No matter, both are ventriloquist's dummies. Charlie is Edgar Bergen's, Andy is Klaus Schwab's.

Michael Bekesha, the ‘Clinton sock drawer’ lawyer, misses the distinction between agency records and presidential records.
I’ve already extensively addressed why the Presidential Records Act (PRA) is not a viable defense against charges that President Trump unlawfully and willfully retained national-defense information under Section 793(e) of the federal criminal code (which, in hope of avoiding Senator Lindsey Graham’s conniptions, I’ll refrain from calling the Espionage Act). So I’ll state the main point as succinctly as I can: Agency records are not presidential records.
Trump’s case is about agency records regarding the national defense — mainly, classified intelligence reporting generated by U.S. spy agencies. The PRA, by contrast, addresses documents and other records generated by and for the president in the carrying out of his duties.

Oh look, another deadbeat loser working for the Deep state
Why don’t they rename it “Democrat Review?”
When they start picking fly s*** off of rice in an effort to explain the legal case against trump, you sure as h*** know that the government should not be prosecuting a former president and leading presidential candidate over this document nonsense.
I guess he is just going to ignore precedent
Makes no sense. ALL records are presidential records if in the presidents hands. Otherwise the president is not the ultimate power in the executive branch.
Which agencies are not under the executive branch?
I guess Biden’s garage and Pence’s house didn’t have any “agency records”.
And they weren’t even president at the time.
Oh, but nobody cared.
Exactly!
Who is the agencies the agent for?
Of course records from executive departments which president trump took in his possession when he was president were in fact presidential records by definition. I am sure that all of the millions of other presidential records include plenty of documents from every agency of government they don’t all come straight from the executive oval office.
Excuse Me! The classified documents re: Mar La Go were REFERRING TO WHEN TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT! It had nothing to do with before during 2016 Election prior to Trump being President...no matter when the agency records actually happened. His possession was after that fact!
I wish Trump would quit messing around and hire Barnes already.
Barnes Law says different.
Excuse me! His possession and access to records after the fact is exactly what the presidential records act addresses.
By the way, did the act or anything else give Biden or Pence a pass from when they weren’t president?
But no one would hunt them down as criminals because it’s ridiculous.
National Review is dying a thousand deaths.
Why even post the crap from NR and McClueless?
NR died when Buckley did.
Lost me at “Andrew C. McCarthy”
Did the judge in the Clinton sock drawer case draw that distinction?
No.
McCarthy does not impress me. Never has. Never will.
ANY Document that is handed to the President is a Presidential Record,
no matter which agency generates it.
Oh ANDY McCarthy, not Charlie. No matter, both are ventriloquist's dummies. Charlie is Edgar Bergen's, Andy is Klaus Schwab's.

When was the last time the Espionage Act was used on a POTUS?
When Hillary contracted a Firm advertising that they could wipe data so that it couldn’t FORENSICALLY be recovered - was that Obstruction?
Why No Raids for ant Democrat - but they did raids for Joe’s girl’s diary!
Why? Why did they raid Trump’s Lawyer Apartment?
And your slogan is - No one is above the Law?
