Trump lawyer says she's told him all litigation involving the former president 'will stop' if he announces he's not running for office in 2024

[rightwinger]

Trump will be the next President of the USA!

That's all you have to know.

Can Presidents serve from Prison?

 

[rightwinger]

Al Capone would be proud of this rotten stolen Administration!

Time for the scum to go to jail for a very long time!

Al Capone thought he was above the law
Just like Trump

They caught him on tax evasion
They will get Trump for hoarding secret documents

I fought the law and the law won

 

[Mac1958]

I would give it more credibility if it was coming from AG Garland
I really don’t think he cares if Trump runs or not

Of course not. This isn't about shoplifting a KitKat™ bar. The rubes are just feeding themselves some soothing fantasy.

It will be a long time before we know anything of substance here, so the fantasies are gonna be flyin'.

 

[rightwinger]

I think she’s wrong. I think the Democrats will continue to go at him regardless of what he plans to do in 2024. As is typical, the Democrats need something to run against vs. what they have accomplished.

The wheels of Justice turn slowly
Trump has been exploiting that his whole life
He has a team of lawyers to delay, delay, delay

These cases have been in the works since Trump left office. They are finally coming to fruition as Trumps challenges are running out.

They have nothing to do with whether Trump runs or not

What are you talking about “since Trump left office?” These cases have been in the works since he took office. Again, they are coming at Trump from all angles. If he runs, Democrats will have something to run against.

Personally, I hope he does not run.

Which ones?

The Georgia election tampering investigation is since Nov 2020
The document investigation since Trump left the White House

The only one that has been long term is the NY tax fraud investigation. That is only because Trump claimed immunity while he was President

 

[BrokeLoser]

Trump has been breaking the law well before that

Because a bunch of TDS’ers say so huh?

 

[BertramN]

The trump Nazis cannot comprehend why “the process has started,” or why “it will run through completion.” In the same manner, the trump Nazis cannot comprehend the lawlessness and corruption of their beloved cult leader. In their addled minds, he can do no wrong and is being persecuted by his enemies. (Even though many of his crimes were [and are] committed openly and admittedly, the trump Nazis' denial of reality blinds them to all his illegal actions.)

The trump Nazis believe that he should be made the nation's führer as soon as possible and to grant him unlimited power. The trump Nazis would expect their führer to intern the approximately 200 million citizens (mostly people of color) whose very existence is keeping the U. S. from achieving its destiny as a white, Christian conservative, fascist state as decreed by God. The Fourth Reich they’ve longed to create, where their führer will have the authority of life or death over those who offend him.

Georgia’s devoted trump Nazi, Marjorie Taylor Greene on Friday said she would soon introduce articles of impeachment against U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland. Other loyal trump Nazis in Congress have promised to impeach Biden and Harris shortly after the next congressional session begins in January. If trump is made House Speaker by the expected GOP House majority, he will be in the line of presidential succession and returned to the White House as soon as Biden and Harris are removed from office.






.

The trump Nazis should be giddy at the idea of their cult leader becoming führer so easily and so soon.

Of course, who disagrees with this assessment?

It's difficult to make a self described narcissist billionaire a sympathetic figure, but, his enemies have done so.

Trump lawyer says she's told him all litigation involving the former president 'will stop' if he announces he's not running for office in 2024

"I told him this is going to actually increase your support in your base," Alina Habb said about the FBI raid, noting Trump was "honestly not surprised" by it.

www.businessinsider.com

lawyer for Donald Trump said all investigations into the former president would stop if he were to announce he won't run for president in 2024.

"If he's not leading in the polls – I've sat across from him, every time he gets frustrated, I say to him: 'Mr. President, if you would like me to resolve all your litigation, you should announce that you are not running for office, and all of this will stop,'" Trump attorney Alina Habba said on Real America's Voice on Friday. "That's what they want."

She added that Trump was "honestly not surprised" after the Department of Justice executed an FBI raid of Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, seeking classified documents taken from the White House.

There is not one democrat walking that agrees with this. Either he is prosecuted or we lose all respect for the law. Lock him up. Lock him up. Lock him up.

I would give it far less credibility since Garland is a scumbag.

That mean Garland is not treating my Dear Leader nicely.

[Trump took the documents with him AFTER he was not the President anymore. He did not go through any process to declassify all he took ]


Classified information is the kind of material that the U.S. government or an agency deems sensitive enough to national security that access to it must be controlled and restricted.

There are several degrees of classification. Documents related to nuclear weapons will have different classification levels depending on the sensitivity of the information contained. Documents containing information related to nuclear weapons design or their location would be highly classified. Other information may still be highly classified but deemed not as sensitive. For example, in 2010 President Barack Obama declassified the number of nuclear weapons in the U.S. stockpile.

In general, classified documents must be handled in a way that protects the integrity and confidentiality of the information they contain. This includes securing documents in a safe or other authorized storage container when the documents are not being used by staff. If staff needs to move them from one place to another, they must follow security protocols to do so.

Though classified information can be taken off the premises in the course of official duties, taking classified documents home is prohibited by executive order.
Authority to take certain information – say, the existence of a weapons program – and classify it top secret is given only to specific individuals, including the president and vice president and certain agency heads.

Procedures for declassification of materials are complicated. However, the president has ultimate declassification authority and may declassify anything at any time, subject to certain provisions of the Atomic Energy Act.

Deciding what information is classified is subjective. Some things clearly need to be kept secret, like the identity of covert operatives or battle plans. Other issues are not so obvious. Should the mere fact that the secretary of state had a conversation with a counterpart be classified? Different agencies disagree about questions like this all the time.

Mishandling classified information, especially if it is accidental, is usually handled as an administrative matter. However, more serious violations can incur criminal charges and penalties. Federal law (18 U.S. Code § 1924) states that anyone who “knowingly removes such documents or materials without authority and with the intent to retain such documents or materials at an unauthorized location shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than five years, or both.”

Here’s how government documents are classified to keep sensitive information safe

What are classified documents? Who gets to see them? What happens if they are released?

How could he take documents after he was president? Did he sneak back into the White house?

You're just another leftwing dumbfuck..

You are right. He took them while President BUT without going through the proper protocols and procedures required for him to do so.

I am a Democrat and proud of it.

The "protocol" is that the president says they are declassified. Then minions take care of the paperwork.

Blame the "minions" then for not going for the process to declassify what he wanted declassified.

But did he give the order to declassify them, at all?

It was declassified the minute Trump said it was declassified. That's the process.

 

[Sixties Fan]

It does not work that way. What he declassifies needs to be recorded so that the National Archive will know about it, maybe even get copies of them for their records. All documents, emails, tweets, etc belong to the government and need to be in the National Archives eventually.

Democracies require records of government documents.
