Last week’s indictment of Donald Trump is the latest example of why liberals really should have read my book, “Resistance Is Futile.” Or Aesop’s fable “The Boy Who Cried Wolf.” Either one.
After years of making insane accusations against Trump, from Russian collusion to indicting him for misdemeanor record-keeping errors in his blackmail payments to a porn star, liberals finally have him dead to rights committing serious felonies. And no one believes them.
It’s your own fault, liberals.
Much to my surprise, the documents Trump had spirited away to Mar-a-Lago were not cheesy souvenirs appealing to his juvenile sensibility, like Shaquille O’Neal’s shoe or a picture with Kim Kardashian.
No, the documents he’d stuffed in Mar-a-Lago’s ballroom, bathroom and shower (among other highly secure locations) included information about our nuclear weapons programs, the defense capabilities of the U.S. and other countries, potential vulnerabilities of the United States and its allies to military attack, and plans for possible retaliation.
As Trump’s Attorney General Bill Barr said in an interview with “Fox News Sunday,” these were “among the most sensitive secrets the country has.”...
In another reminder that Trump defenders need to wait a beat before repeating his claims like trained seals, the government has Trump on audiotape boasting about how incredibly “secret” and “highly confidential” the documents are — as he showed them off to people at his Bedminster Club. “As president I could have declassified it,” he told the non-security-cleared person, “Now I can’t, you know, but this is still a secret.”
How many Republicans have sworn up and down that Trump had declassified all the papers he removed from the White House? Now he’s on tape admitting that that was a lie.

Have they played the supposed tape in public? If it says what they say it does, if there is no video, I would say he was speaking theoretically. People trust the anti-Trump conspirators too readily.
What you anti Trump freaks don’t get is that by merely taking the documents with him when he left the white house, they are declassified. Trump had sole desecration as to what is and what is not classified. And in the end, that is what the courts will find, just like they have in the past.
Yeah, we know there’s a double standard.
Name not even spelled right in the headline.
That’s a lie. And there’s no violation of any law.
Why else do you think Rachel Maddow said that Trump could exchange the end of the witchhunt for a promise to not run for office?
Sorry I misspelled it. Maybe a moderator can correct it?
Seriously, and sadly so however, I have no exculpatory words.
Some statements can be "back-peddled". Here, I'm not seeing it.
Why have Trump’s poll numbers gone up since the indictment?
I have stopped following Ann for years now. IMHO she jumped the shark a long time ago. I say she is wrong on this one too.

New Revelation: Special Counsel Smith Altered Trump’s Recording In Indictment-—Edited Trump’s Words Out Of Context

Trump’s argument isn’t that he didn’t do it, but deflection. What about Hillary? What about Hunter Biden? It’s a double standard!
YOU DIDN’T ALREADY KNOW THERE WAS A DOUBLE STANDARD???
Any Republican who thought he could get away with doing something illegal because Democrats did it first is too stupid to be our champion, much less the Republican nominee for president.
You want to do something about the double standard, right-wingers? Run someone who enrages the left by winning, not by constantly creating legal messes benefiting no one but himself.
Squirrel!
You apparently can’t see that the Presidential Records Act (PRA) entirely guides the outcome here, yet Jack doesn’t bother telling that to the grand jury, nor is it properly woven into Smith’s indictment. (He don’ know Jack!)
As far as National Security and military secrets, those are prepared entirely for the US President. PDJT embodied the every aspect of the Executive Branch at the time.
Under the PRA, the president can declassify anything and take anything with him as he leaves office. He doesn’t have to tell anyone. He doesn’t have to go through any administrative procedure whatsoever. If there ever should be a discrepancy, the PRA provides for good-faith efforts and non-criminal contests concerning any difference of opinion or understanding. If there were any problem(s), that is where Jack should have focused his efforts, not pursuing a criminal indictment. <— PERIOD!
This was already adjudicated in a Judicial Watch vs Bill Clinton lawsuit where Slick absconded with all manner of valuable, previously classified intel and hid it in his sock drawer. The case determined all Slick did was legal. What PDJT did with his documents has been far tamer.
Yes, she’s wrong.
Wrong about not being required to respond to a subpoena?
Simple Dr Watson............the flunky needs top secret clearance to view classified documents. Flunkies usually will not get that level of clearance. I had top secret clearance at my job because of the nature of my job where I had access to classified information. FBI did a thorough investigation of me and my background, including interviews with my neighbors, before granting the clearance.
Yep,
especially when you look at all the backstabbers he appointed that are gleefully backstabbing him now.
I would be happy to see Trump prosecuted right after they line up the hundreds of democrats who have committed the exact same crime and gotten away with it.
Coulter is motivated by her hatred same as the rest of the democrats.
And just like them the only use she has for the justice system is as a vehicle for revenge.
I think only Republicans were polled (for the primary election). I don't think these polls were for the general election.
