FBI Raids Mar-a-lago

[Next Day Error]

I only referenced them because that’s your God. But apparently you only believe your God when it suits you

"That's my God." Good grief... You right-wingers amaze me. You benefit from all things science and engineering and then go cherry-picking what you believe based on feelings and politics.

As to whether or not there’s a homosexual gene I don’t know and I don’t care.

@vantexan seems to think there should be. My point was he's wrong.

Why Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Document Dump May Be a Crime

8. Could Trump have declassified the removed documents?​

Presidents do have ultimate decision-making power over the classification of documents, and Trump could theoretically have declassified any records he removed from the White House. Indeed, former Trump National Security Council member Kash Patel has claimed Trump did just that before leaving office. There is no set procedure for presidential declassification, meaning that could be the basis for a defense if a case proceeds against Trump. But even if Trump was found to have declassified documents, he could still potentially be prosecuted for removing or destroying them. And Richard Painter, chief White House ethics lawyer under President George W. Bush, points out that declassification of documents for an improper purpose could be a crime in itself. “If he declassified documents in order to remove them and destroy them, he’s destroying evidence, and that’s obstruction of justice or obstruction of Congress,” Painter said.

Yawn

You've been checkmated and then act like this is all no big deal.

Trump is facing real trouble. I think it's hilarious he's finally being cornered but I still don't think he'll be held properly accountable in the end.

Can't declassify after the fact.

who says its after the fact. Trump says he declassified them. there is no one with higher declassification authority to dispute him.

I know you really want this but you cant just make crap up to create a crime, though lord knows the FBI has tried in the past.

My point is no one knows, and I agree with live and let live.

 

[newfie]

The topic really should be "FBI executes a legal search warrant". Calling it a "raid" implies some extralegal activity. Let's try and be accurate.

you snowflakes are so sensitive. 30 armed agents taking over a private residence is a raid

Court-ordered search.

No. You cannot take documents with you after leaving office as if they're yours to keep. LOL. COME ON!

 

[bbsam]

Ultimately they belong to us. Archives are to keep them for future generations to see.

And by law they are stored at the Archives?

I’m not certain the legality. It’s pretty clear most presidents don’t worry too much about it when they leave office.

Actually it seems most presidents seem to follow an established routine dealing with declassification.

 

[Next Day Error]

Believe that these HIGHLY-CLASSIFIED materials were actually declassified?

I have a big, beautiful bridge to sell you in Arizona.

how do you figure? every president has had a similar dispute over what they felt belonged to them. Clinton also tried to take white house furniture which he had to return.

 

[Thebrownblob]

This is for you everyday-error
If everything you feel is true how much trouble do you think Trump will be in?

https://irp.fas.org/congress/2007_rpt/berger.pdf

In 2005, he was fined and sentenced to two years of probation plus community service for unauthorized removal of classified material from the National Archives. He gave up his license to practice law.

Wow a fine and probation lol, and he wasnt president!​

What's to stop Biden from claiming he reclassified the document's after Trump left? Since there's no process does a president just wish away a classification?

 

[Thebrownblob]

Let's find the cure for abject stupidity first.

Unfortunately you’re a terminal case.
