No. My position is that it is unlikely to be trialed for just that. If Trump had given the documents back as requested, the NARA would likely have let it go.

You've been told many times and you still go on like a broken record. Trump hid documents and lied about it it. If he had just given them all back, when he was asked to do it, there would be no trial.

As you perfectly know, Trump's staff had to take plea deal, because they helped hiding documents and/ or lied to the FBI about the hidden document! Stop trolling!

Ok, I thought you were referring to the BRICS organisation itself. Right, some BRICS countries cooperate, but it's not directly related to the BRICS organisation itself. And BRICS countries may not be "friends". Ex. India is part of a strategic alliance with the U.S., which is clearly targeting China.

Multilateral agreement on what? (BRICS)

Thank you for this thorough analysis of the current geo-political situation.

It's also not an economic alliance. I certainly don't deny these countries potential. I just outline that their strategic interests are not particularly aligned, apart from the will to be more influent.

And Russia's share of the world's GDP is less than 3%! BTW, the BRICS is not a strategic alliance.

About China, I agree on is potential. However, Russia is an economic dwarf. It's GDP is comparable to Italy's GDP. (and I would prefer to live in Italy)

Ah, OK. Actually UK and Germany experienced a very similar fate in 2023. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn02784/

How about an attempt at derailing the topic?

I am truely in a fact-backed field... https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-longstanding-history-calling-elections-rigged-doesnt-results/story?id=74126926 "In October 2016, just weeks before the general election, Trump wanted to cast doubt on the results by tweeting, "The election is absolutely being rigged by the dishonest and distorted media pushing Crooked Hillary - but also at many polling places - SAD," 😀 "In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally," said Trump. 😀

Ooops! I did not see this one before replying. Biden arrived at the Senate in 1973, hence my previous reply. From when do the documents date? Anyway, the Republican special counsel has assessed he should not be indicted.

From when do these documents date? The rules have changed over time.

There's a similar trend among hard right parties in other countries, for example in France. While her father had holocaust negationism tendencies, Marine Le Pen is now rather supportive of Jews.

Actually, it's Trump who claimed the 2016 election was rigged! Twice! 😀 Before the 2016 election, he started to claim it would be rigged, because he initially expected to lose it. After the 2016 election, he also claimed the election was rigged, because he was furious that Hillary got more votes than him! 😀

Most of all, there is no Senatorial Record Act. Unlike Presidential documents, documents given to -or created by- Senators are not considered property of the country and don't need to be given back to NARA.

And, as usual, you have a trusted source confirming it! 😀

More precisely, he cited the "Ukraine scandal". If one wants to keep to facts, it's difficult to leave much room to the "Republican perspective" about it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden

But now his fans can buy distinguished gold Trump sneakers! 😆 Trump Booed as He Drops $399 Official Gold Sneakers at Sneaker Con | Video https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/trump-booed-drops-399-official-025257497.html

A Wikipedia article is no more nor less reliable than the sources used. That's what smart people do when they use Wikipedia: check the sources.

Why would they drop it? The Republicans don't need evidence, they can just make it up, as they have done up to now! 😃

And a nice gift! I wonder how two experienced lawyers did not see it coming.

It's not nice from him to laugh at his MAGA pal Riclag! 🤣

Anyone else has identified the MAGA instructions received about this issue? 😅 They cannot directly support Putin eliminating his main opponent, so they use indirect arguments: Navalny is stupid, he should have stayed outside Russia, he's corrupt, etc...
