“As president I could have declassified it,” Trump told them, according to an audio recording of that July 2021 comment which is quoted in the indictment.
“Now I can’t, you know, but this is still a secret,” he added.
Hard to backtrack and say you declassified everything on the way out, lol
If he doesn’t have a chance to pardon himself. he’s so fucked. People better fucking vote.
He shared a plan of attack. Is there anything that could be worse to share?
This guy’s completely deranged, and he got elected president. There were probably ~165 million Americans eligible to run for US President in
20202016, and this is the guy that was selected. This is the one we came together and said, “Yep, he’s the guy we trust. Let’s put him in charge. He’s the best we’ve got.”edit: wrong election year
Let’s be fair, we didn’t “come together and choose him.” Most of us didn’t want him. Most of the people who voted didn’t vote for him. But, due to a quirk in our system, he won anyway.
yeah, this is the kind of outcome that would cause everyone at a family game night to enthusiastically review and amend the rules.
I always found the discussion around the fact that Trump didn’t win by popular vote moot. Of course the US election system needs an overhaul, but he still won 46% of people’s votes. That in itself is a point to be majorly concerned about, it should never have come that far.
@RealJoL @BackOnMyBS Ah, but what proportion of *eligible* voters does that 46% represent (considering specious disqualifications as well as disinterest)?
It was really an indictment on whatever passes for GOP leadership that Donald Trump absolutely bullied and cowed every single Primary rival in 2016. None of them were raised with enough spine to stand up to a bully.
Indicted is not convicted. Until then the bottle of champagne remains sealed.
True. But I’m still going to enjoy the fact that he’s filling his diapers at Mar A Lardo right now because he’s scared of being convicted.
I’m still not holding my breath that anything will ever happen to him
This case really feels like a parallel construction case; as in someone got picked up with one or more of these secret documents or copies by a TLA who can’t prosecute (CIA or NSA) and they tipped off the FBI.
You would think so, but he really is that stupid. He loved to bring VIPs to Mar-a-Lago and show off his documents. He never thought any of them would flip on him.
