Brit Hume: Trump defense of taking documents ‘incoherent’
The Hill ^ | 06/20/2023 | BRETT SAMUELS

Posted on 06/20/2023 8:02:39 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Fox News analyst Brit Hume said Monday that former President Trump’s defense for keeping classified documents was borderline “incoherent.”

“His answers on the matter of the law seem to verge on incoherent,” Hume said after a portion of Trump’s interview with Fox anchor Bret Baier aired on the network.

“He seemed to be saying the documents were really his and he didn’t give them back when he was requested to do so, and when they were subpoenaed because he wasn’t ready to because he hadn’t sorted them or whatever from his golf shirts,” Hume said. “It was not altogether clear what he was saying, but he seemed to believe that the documents were his, that he had declassified them and therefore he could do whatever he wanted with them.”

Hume cast doubt on the idea that Trump’s explanation would hold up in court.

Brit Hume is a Uniparty Hack and an idiot

But that was redundant

Is Hume an idiot? (Yeah, I know, Rhetorical Question.)

Trump declassified the documents. They belong to him.

How does one not understand that?

Meanwhile the Bidens take 10 million dollars in bribes, lie about it to the IRS, and Hunter pleads to a misdemeanor.

Brit has become a worthless commentator, just another example of the poor product at FOX.

The most incoherent thing is Brit Hume pretending to be honest.

Britts odd stammering response sounded pretty incoherent for a professional broadcaster. Trump had the right to those documents he doesn’t need any other defense besides that .

“The leaked documents [of Airman Jack Teixerira] although still unauthenticated with some attributing them to being part of a misinformation campaign – were labeled “secret” and resembled routine updates that the U.S. military’s Joint of Staff would produce daily but not distribute to the public. They were dated ranging from February 23 to March 1, and detailed the progress of weapons and equipment going into Ukraine as well as U.S. spying efforts on Russian security services, NYT first reported.”

Joe Biden:

“I’m not concerned about the leak, I’m concerned that it happened. But there is nothing contemporaneous that I’m aware of”

Meanwhile THESE classified docs were hanging out in Joe's garage. Where Hunter and his Chinese buddies had years and years of access.

When I look at this crypt keeper, I think of Sandy Hume + Bill Paxon.

Brit should have retired a decade ago. He makes no sense as a conservative and is mushy-mouthed as a liberal.

I respect Brit, but the very act of using the DOJ to take down a political opponent is incoherent.

Some pundits cannot see the forest for the trees.

“Time after time in the Clinton years, then-National Security Adviser Sandy Berger was reluctant to approve military strikes against Osama bin Laden or al Qaeda, according to the 9/11 commission report.”

“That revelation comes as Berger faces the ‘Socks-Docs’ criminal investigation into whether he illegally snuck top-secret documents out of the National Archives in his socks while vetting material for the 9/11 Commission.”

Brit Hume: Trump defense of taking documents ‘incoherent’

Obviously Bret does not know the definition of "incoherent" and has not heard fetterman and biden.
