Trump document case highlights - 3/14

[leftwinger]

Trump hid them from the DOJ, Biden hid them from the public. one is illegal, one is just dishonest.

Biden was never a President and was in possesion of stolen documents he had no authorization to remove from GOVT possesion.//

 

[Seymour Flops]

was he hiding them from the DOJ or just the public?

If it is the former then he should 100% be changed the day he leaves office.

If it is the latter, there is nothing illegal about it and he was clearly hoping to hide it from the public.

That is some Democratic Party logic for you. It’s cool that Trump lied to the American public, as long as he told the truth to his own staff at the DOJ.

This is a strange precedent that y’all Want to set. Commit the most heinous crimes imaginable, but as long as you admit it – only to the DOJ – when you get caught - it’s cool.

LOL.,...Trump acknowledged possession of documents, even let FBI in to view them, more than once.

Biden had his doc's moved all over the place....so what's your point?

In what the rest of us call reality, Trump has denied publicly and in court that any of the material was even classified.

Furthermore, he did not let the FBI view them all, then he quickly hid the documents in a new hiding spot.

There is a difference between being "cool" and being illegal. While it is not cool to lie to the American people, it is not against the law to do so.

No he did not. Trump lied about them to the DOJ, he even lied about them it his own lawyer causing her to lie in court

Why did the fat orange slob wait until his house was raided, 17 months after being asked to give the documents back?

Whatever of Trump, whatever of views on him, he has shown more courage than many of us peasants would in that situation. If he did not run, most likely none of this would have happened. While Progs keep smearing him, they spew that their own are pure and clean. And they are not. And there are many corrupted.

 

[Seymour Flops]

No he did not. Trump lied about them to the DOJ, he even lied about them it his own lawyer causing her to lie in court

Could you quote the exact lie that Trump told to the DOJ, hopefully with a date and some kind of evidence?

 

[Delldude]

No he did not. Trump lied about them to the DOJ, he even lied about them it his own lawyer causing her to lie in court

How could he lie if the FBI were there and viewed them twice, the last time telling Him to use a better locking device on His storage room?

Now that is a good question. I am eager to see Harpy Eagle answer it.

 

[Robert W]

He was no in the same boat as Trump as he did not lie to the DOJ about them and he did not attempt to keep them all even after telling the DOJ he had given them back. He did not have his employees putting them on planes and flying them around the country to hide them.

Biden had his when his were illegally at his house. Trump as president had designated his as his to keep. Bear in mind, nothing the Government prints is just a single copy. They could have all of Trump's records by checking places Trump got his from.

I savor every minute of this falling apart after enduring years of insane persecution prosecution

And watching the judge have to coach them up to do their job correctly and Try Again.
They won’t be able to catch up and provide that for there is no legitimacy

[Rawley]

Biden did not try to hide them from the DOJ

Sure he did. For decades

And then hiring Russian Prostitutes to pee on them.

can you point out where that happened on the time line? It appears the first search is august 8, 2022.

time line is here.

From day one this judge showed them that no presumption of Trump guilt was in play
They just can’t grasp that

@tysonzahner

The reason you back a politician in this day and age has very little to do with the character of the politician. That ended during the Clinton era. It has to do with the policies that person holds, and the person you’re voting against.The fact that all you people can talk about is the Trump’s character just shows you can’t defend the policies of his alternative.

Timeline: The Justice Department criminal inquiry into Trump taking classified documents to Mar-a-Lago | CNN Politics

The federal criminal investigation into former President Donald Trump's potential mishandling of classified documents ramped up this week in significant and unprecedented fashion, with the FBI executing a search warrant at Trump's home at his Mar-a-Lago resort.

www.cnn.com

June 3, 2022​

Federal investigators, including a top Justice Department counterintelligence official, visit Mar-a-Lago to deal with the subpoena for remaining classified documents. The investigators meet with Trump’s attorneys, including Corcoran, and look around the basement storage room where the documents were stored. Trump briefly stops by the meeting to say hello to the officials, but he does not answer any questions. Corcoran hands over the 38 classified documents that he found. Trump lawyer Christina Bobb signs a sworn affidavit inaccurately asserting that there aren’t any more classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.

Debating Democrats is an endless game of Whack-a-Mole. I laid this to rest months ago, but I'm happy to copy and paste from my old posts (this was January 10, in response to forkup):

If Cocoran signed sworn documents knowing that they were false, then you might have a good case against Corcoran for falsely swearing. Has he been indicted?

Not to worry, he will not be. He did not sign the letter, another attorney did. She put in a qualifer that makes her innocent in the eyes of the law.

Here is the story of that statement:

Christina Bobb, the attorney who signed a letter certifying that all sensitive records in former President Donald Trump's possession had been returned to the government, spoke to federal investigators Friday and named two other Trump attorneys involved with the case, according to three sources familiar with the matter.

When Corcoran first testified to the grand jury in January, he was asked about what happened in the lead-up to the August search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence.

Corcoran had drafted a statement in June that attested Trump’s team had done a “diligent search” of boxes moved from the White House to Florida and that all classified documents had been returned. Christina Bobb, the attorney who signed the letter, added the caveat, “to the best of my knowledge.”

If that sounds like lawyering, it is. That's what lawyers are paid for. It is not yet a crime to have good lawyers, who consider all possibilities in case of a malicious prosecution. How could you think that Trump's lawyers drafted and signed a document that would lead to their prosecution?

Notice who is not in that story at all? Donald Trump. Whatever Trump may have told the lawyer, that was relayed as hearsay to the jury, is certainly no evidence of a crime by Trump.

I talked about this months ago, it isn't news. I explained it in detail.

I told forkup in January, that I had said the same thing months ago. Democrats never research, they just blurt Democrat talking points.

You have no quote of Trump lying to the DOJ, so your claim that he lied to the DOJ, was itself a lie.

That was one or so of the first motions they made after being seated. Timing?

quotes --

Less than two days after amassing enough primary victories to assure he will be the next GOP presidential nominee, Trump was in court as a criminal defendant, listening carefully as his lawyers asked a judge to dismiss many of the federal charges against him. They argued that the Espionage Act under which he was charged was too vague, and said a different law, the Presidential Records Act, protected him from prosecution.

After nearly four hours of back and forth, Cannon sounded unswayed.

“You would agree that declaring a statute is unconstitutionally vague is quite an extraordinary step?” she asked Trump lawyer Emil Bove.
