Don't take it from me....  How about a legal expert:

 

“Indeed, that was the opinion of the Department of Justice for two long decades. They argued in the famous Bill Clinton case that a former president can keep whatever he wants including classified documents – a federal judge agreed. Suddenly, Trump comes along and the DOJ throws that policy out the window. They indict Trump on top of it they charge him with obstruction for doing exactly what Bill Clinton did. Clinton resisted,” Jarrett stated.

Rules for thee, but not for me.

 

 

 

How about some other experts ?
 

CLAIM: A case involving Bill Clinton keeping audio tapes in a sock drawer proves that Trump’s actions were legally sound.

THE FACTS: The case in question involved very different documents and experts say it isn’t the parallel Trump makes it out to be.

 

The Washington, D.C. based organization had argued the audiotapes were “presidential records” that the agency should provide under the federal public records law, but U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson ultimately dismissed the case, ruling NARA didn’t have the authority to seize the records from Clinton and hand them over.

David Super, another professor at Georgetown Law, argues the 2012 Clinton case has “absolutely nothing to do with” the charges Trump currently faces.

For one thing, the court didn’t dismiss the case because it found that Clinton was entitled to keep the tapes, Super said. Jackson simply ruled that NARA could not turn over the tapes as public records because they were owned by the historian and not government property.

 

Legal experts this week also dismissed those arguments. Margulies, of Roger Williams University, said the claim “mixes apples and oranges.”

“The Clinton materials were audiotapes of conversations with an historian that incidentally recorded some calls on official business,” he wrote. “In contrast, the documents that Trump kept were all presidential records from the moment they arrived at the Oval Office from other parts of the government.”

The real difference is that, as President, Trump had the authority to declassify anything he chose to.  The VP's, didn't.

Except Trump didn't have the authority to declassify nuclear arms documents, and one was found illegally in his possession , (document 19).
He has also conceded that he was in possession of documents that had not been declassified.
So, as previously mentioned, the difference is that both Pence and Biden returned the documents once discovered, and Trump attempted to retain possession of the documents he stole, (and most likely still has some).

Most folk would call it good business.

"Most folk" would be wrong, just like most folks think declaring bankruptcy to avoid paying debts is "good business".
It's illegal, and if caught there are penalties, irrespective of who commits the fraud.
The adage, "Oh everyone cheats on their taxes, so its ok", might be accepted but, if you are caught, expect no mercy.

Rather have a President that falsely claims vast wealth to please his ego, than a corrupt one with vast inexplicable wealth and webs of shell companies and llc's funnelling cash to family members. For obvious reasons.

 

Basic politics 101

If you even bothered to read the article you would discover that inflating his wealth had nothing to do with his over inflated ego but :-
"to pay lower taxes and improve its insurance coverage. James is seeking $250 million in financial penalties".
But no, rather than educate yourself, you throw out a fatuous opinion and follow that up with  unsupported claims about someone else in an effort, once again, to justify your support for Trump.
No wonder Trump can grift his supporters so easily.

Average topic 30 replies. Trump topic 500+ replies.

 

 

It would not be surprising that the large number of comments in a Trump article

could be due to the fact that the Trumper/Maga/Qanon/Sovcits members continually post

such bizarre trolling posts, conspiracy theories, opinions posing as facts, deflections and

and “whatabout” Biden posts, that the more informed feels obliged to offer detailed lucid responses pointing out their misconceptions. But, it doesn’t stop there, because when the medication kicks in on another Trumper, they rinse and repeat and off we go again.

Thanks all for the help so far????...altho the Canadian embassy sample looks great, the NZ Embassy letter is just a notarized statement(by me) of my claimed income...in other words, i write the statement and the embassy just puts their stamp on it...

Just a heads up. I had a visa app refused by KK Immigration because I had used the word "income" instead of "pension" on my Australian stat dec, despite this being my 8th visa using the same wording on said form. 
My application had initially been reviewed by my local IO before sending to KK for consideration without issue. In the end they did approve the application, and my local IO admitted that KK did indeed make a mistake.

So just to be on the safe side, I would use the term "pension" instead of income, (btw my income is not a pension, but they just couldn't understand my financial arrangements).

Comparitively yes of course. MAL is heavily guarded you cant just walk in there. Key word is comparitively 

So well guarded that Inna Yashchyshyn was able to gain access to MAL multiple times using a fake identity, and Yujing Zang sauntered in claiming she was attending an event. Zhang was carrying 4 cellphones, external hard drive, thumb drive and a laptop.

Poor Rudy. Sad to see America's Mayor having such a public battle with alcoholism, and the mocking and abuse he cops from the usual quarter for it. Hope he can get clean and regain his former self, he was an absolute lion.

 

 I expect a huge raft of SA cases to swamp every GOP member now that proof and evidence are no longer required, nor even remembering when it happened. 

 

 

Suggest you watch the 4 part series  "When Truth Isn't Truth". Transpires that Rudy was more of a hyena than a lion.

Such sad news.
Rest in peace, Joe.

You were a great wealth of information on this website, and you will be sorely missed.

I watched 7 hours of the debate on the floor of the house!

It all centered around a protest outside the chamber with 3 dem house reps shouting and chanting at the podium !

The debate centered around house rules of decorum being abused!

The 3 dems would not admit their

role in wrongdoing ( deliberately taking the podium without permission). 2 of the three were

expelled by a two thirds vote!

 

So you would agree then, that Taylor Green and Boebert should have been expelled from Congress for their behaviour during Biden's speech on the State of the Union ?
Seems like double standards from the GOP, does it not ?
This is not about gun control or decorum, but an attempt to create a super majority and is an abuse of power.
