No admission in former President Richard Nixon's Watergate tapes was "as clearly illegal" as that of Donald Trump in audio first published by CNN where the latter describes having "highly confidential" papers in his possession, a leading historian of the period has said.
The audio, in which Trump appeared to admit some of the documents in his possession hadn't been declassified, was published on Monday. In response, a Trump campaign spokesperson said the former president had been "speaking rhetorically and also quite humorously," and hadn't committed any wrongdoing.
Earlier this month, Trump was charged with 37 counts related to his alleged mishandling of classified documents, to which he pleaded not guilty. Trump's legal woes, which include charges in New York regarding the alleged payment of hush money to pornographic actress Stormy Daniels, could have a significant impact on the 2024 presidential election, with polling indicating the ex-president is the Republican frontrunner. Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing, including rejecting allegations of an affair with Daniels.

Records are now digitized. Have been for awhile
Bob Woodward was a deep state rat.
Newsweek, This is already fake news. The story is BS. I’m sure they will publish a retraction?
What was in the boxes? Thumbdrives?
Lol, I love the smell of desperation in the morning.

Watergate isn’t 1/10th of Biden’s decades of selling Policy and favor for $20 Million plus.
Biden has his own boxes with Nation Security Docs, except he was never cleared to have them - and he was selling them.
Why else steal from a SCIF?

PTrump was writing a book
Besides, the fib was there for hours. Without approval or observation. They could stage any number of things.
Ruin Melania’s wardrobe. Scratch through things. Cut out clothing labels.
Leftists have not recognized his legitimacy.
Go rant on socks Burger or 0bama’s warehouse.
Process crime, if anything at all.
Another President is documented to have sold tens of millions of dollars of access.
But treason is such a small thing compared to process.
Watergate was a Sunday School picnic compared to the illegal scams by the Clinton/Obama/Biden crooks.
“Copies”
If everything was digitized, the the copies would also be digital.
Watergate was Democrats running a Republican president. Isn’t allowed to go the other direction.
This is obviously wrong because, as we’ve been told, this is ‘worse than Watergate’.
On second thought maybe that was the last ‘scandal’ supposed to take Trump down.
Or maybe it was the one before that.
What is never reported is they were looking for information on Daniel Ellsberg, who had worked for Sandia Labs in advanced nuclear weapons design.
Information said he had shared with his psychiatrist that he wanted to defect to Russia and bring those secrets to the Soviets.
If Trump had it, it is declassified.
Can’t people understand the Constitution?
