Not a part of any dispute.
It leaves to the President to make the call as so which documents are Presidential records. Otherwise Iām sure youād point out the sentence anywhere in that non criminal statute which leaves such decisions to anyone else.
When is the operative word. And thereās zero evidence that President Trump ever violated that act.
Nope. One can be sanctioned for a violation of a driving law. There is no sanction for any alleged āviolationā of the PRA.
They sure did. And?
What ARE presidential records? Who decides? The amusing part is that the DOJ argued Bubba Clintonās position when he had material in his sock drawer.
Their legal argument, at that time, prevailed. It is only being flipped and flipped by them this time because they no like Trump.
Presidential Records are not the focus of the indictment. In fact, the only mention of them in the indictment is in the description of what was found in boxes and some background information. All charges in the indictment arise from the classified documents, not presidential records. The issue of Presidential Records are just a red herring meant to distract attention from the indictment and for good reason.
Much of the evidence is shocking and damning according to a Fox News legal commentator. "The special counsel knew that there would be a lot of people who were going to allege that the DOJ acted in a biased or politically motivated way. This is clearly an indictment that was drafted to answer those questions," Turley said. "It's overwhelming in details."
Conservative legal commentator and Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley called the indictment against Donald Trump "extremely damning."
