So apparently they found them easily enough without surveillance footage didn't they?
Yeah, Trump is a fucking moron that treated them like Bush treated his pop-up comic books. Had em all over the place.
So apparently they found them easily enough without surveillance footage didn't they?
Comey refused to bring charges.
But yes, Pence is guilty also.
It is illegal to take documents when you leave office, period, that is the law.
Actually, it was Loretta Lynch since she was the head of the DOJ. Comey left office in MAY 2017. Why didn't Trump go after Hillary then?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Comey
7th Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation
In office September 4, 2013 – May 9, 2017
BTW, Netflix has a good miniseries about it: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9174536/
As for Biden and Pence, yes, it was illegal, but I think the DOJ was looking at intent. Neither intended to take the documents but Trump did just like Hillary intended to delete evidence in her 30,000 emails. Again, why didn't Trump prosecute her?
Most people who misplace documents are not charged. NARA just gets the documents back and writes them up. The ones prosecuted are doing much more like hiding them or using them. Or they lie about them. They are different law breaks. Not the same thing at all. Trump did what no person ever did with documents, let alone a truckload. And he lied about them, hid them, and told people what was in some of them.
I have trouble believing you really cannot understand how different the cases are. You are being dishonest in trying to help Trump, the thief-in-chief.
It is lawful for Trump to retain any document he wishes.
So you advocate ignoring the 1st and 4th amendments. Gotit.
Hillary DID destroy evidence, Sock.
Biden DID unlawfully retain confidential documents, Sock.
I'm hoping it was something as simple as the local library closing down.
Just before trump's terrorist attack on America, I was briefly on another board with a bunch of idiots. They had an auto censor feature where certain words were automatically altered. Of course, I was always getting into trouble for simply putting spaces between letters to skirt the feature.
There was some connection between the boards, as an 'Omar' showed up there who I believe was our Darth Omar.
In exchange we got that redneck who couldn't spell, and always talked about his guns. I can't remember his name now?
I reported a member there to the FBI after trump's attack, as he had been calling for violence for months before the insurrection.
I left the board and told them that I would never participate on a board that promoted terrorism.
Hillary never destroyed squat and Trump is not being charged with retaining documents. If he had returned them like Biden and Pence, he never would have been charged.
It is not illegal for the President to take documents when he leaves office. It is also not illegal for the Vice President to take documents when he leaves office.
It IS illegal for Biden to have the documents he had in anything but the viewing office of NARA. AND Biden had them for YEARS.
I suggest you study the Constitution of the United States Article II, and Titles 18 and 44 of the USC.
Agreed. They encapsulate everything that is Trumpism; white nationalism, anger, poorly educated and not-that-bright.
Maybe. There's a lot of Americans in the same boat which, IMO, is a testament to have our nation has failed a lot of our citizens. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer and our public schools are deteriorating into a hot mess.That will work to our advantage come election time because those assholes will vote for him even if he isn't on the ballot, they will write his name in. I don't think he will win the nomination and if he does it will be the biggest blue wave in history.
Biden did not misplace documents, Norbutt. He STOLE THEM.
NARA did not get them back. Biden STOLE THEM.
Biden hid them in his home. Hunter also had access to them while traveling to Ukraine and China. That's ESPIONAGE, Norbutt!
Biden lied about them. He still does.
Correct. Biden broke the law. Trump did not.
Presidents have taken documents after leaving office. It's okay...really. They have the authority to do that.
Irrelevant.
He did not.
He did not.
Trump has all the authority he needs to show unclassified documents to anyone he wants.
Biden committed a crime, Trump did not.
Trump didn't steal anything, Nordbutt.
I can see you are too emotionally involved to have a rational argument. Considering this is early AM, I can't assume it's simply the alcohol talking as it was with Stone last night.Bullshit now you are fucking lying.
Biden was not supposed to EVER HAVE POSSESSION of them. He had no authority. STEALING documents is not 'forgetting about them'! Hiding them in his home for years is intent.
Trump did not hide anything, and did not steal anything. Trump also has the authority to retain any document he wishes upon leaving office. Biden NEVER HAD ANY SUCH AUTHORITY.
Trump’s former Attorney General Bill Barr said Donald Trump is “toast” after a 37-count criminal indictment against the former president was unsealed Friday. The indictment revealed allegations that Trump willfully retained hundreds of classified government records at his Florida home and conspired to prevent their return to U.S. officials. “He is not a victim here,” Barr said. “He was totally wrong that he had the right to have those documents.”
Why would Russia support Trump, he put harsh sanctions on them.
That won't fly in court.
The law says it's illegal to take them in the first place. It doesn't matter if you give them back or not.
If you steal a car and give it back does that mean you are not charged?
If Trump is convicted for taking them then Biden and Pence will have to be also.
To monitor, they need a search warrant.
They raided his house, why did they need security footage?
Do you think they don't know how to search?
The documents weren't hidden in a wall or something, they were sitting in plain view.
Besides, the Secret Service knew where they were kept, they would have told the agents raiding Trumps place.
This is just filing charges that are irrelevant to anything because Smith is an ass.
