Whether Kash is honest or dishonest isnât the point. The point is that we donât know if he was honest or dishonest. Thatâs what makes his statement useless. It canât be used to determine if those documents are classified or not.Youâre quite verbose. Seriously, you need to drive for brevity.
Kash saying it doesnât make it so. On that we agree. But I donât believe there is any fair basis to say that Kash is dishonest.
I donât care why they may or may not choose to believe it. Their belief doesnât constitute evidence.
And the government damn well knew what documents (which are all labeled and recorded) said. Your contrary claim is make believe.
Your argument about the immediacy issue is wordplay. The point remains that there was no rush and no perceived need for any rush. And you canât point to any such alleged need.
And no, the government didnât know what documents were retained by Trump. The record keeping for these documents was clearly substandard.
National security is the reason to get the documents back. As for a rush, they really didnât rush given they started asking for these documents early in 2021 and didnât raid his house until late 2022.
You claim that they just needed to wait longer for ongoing negotiations, which is clearly wrong given that Trumpâs lawyers claimed that they had resolved the matter by turning all his documents over.
Of course people knew the subject matter. The documents have designations so that our vaunted intelligence agencies can keep track of exactly that.
