The difference is that Trump actually had a job and a home office to work from. How exactly did covid restrictions keep him from doing his job? Was it the hazardous commute from his bedroom to the office? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

placeholder Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Here's a compelling article from Dan Goldman and the NY Daily News The possible path to prosecuting Trump: Democratic congressional nominee Dan Goldman lays out feds’ likely case "When it comes to information “respecting the national defense” (which is not always classified information), the Espionage Act is a broad statute that does not necessarily require intent to disseminate or distribute such materials. But in weighing whether a set of factual circumstances supports such a charge, prosecutors consider four factors: intent to distribute, clear knowledge of document importance, volume of the material and whether or not investigators have been lied to." https://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-oped-the-possible-path-to-prosecuting-trump-20220904-o7omj3c37zehdi6htwcwrjeb4y-story.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Trump spends more time hours watching daytime TV than any person with a job has any reason to. But clearly that was more important than intelligence briefings which he regularly skipped.

From the link. President Biden will wrap up a two-week vacation at his beach house in Rehoboth Beach, Del., Wednesday as one unofficial count indicates he has spent more time away from the White House than his three immediate predecessors at the same point in their terms. It marked Biden’s 49th visit to the First State since entering the White House in January 2021 and brings the number of days he spent in Delaware to 150, according to an unofficial count by former CBS News reporter Mark Knoller I made bold the counts which appeared to be unofficial and by a former CBS News reporter Mark Knoller. Just because he was away from the White House does NOT mean that he was not working at all.

Cult members would say, "I'll drink that Kool-Aid Reverend Jones !" It's clear even here in comments. Posters will grasp every lie 45 tells and promote it as truth. The path from when the first article about this appeared simply follows each new lie 45 spouted, and the cult speaks in unison, chanting the latest lie. 45 could tell two diametrically opposed lies in the same sentence, and his cult will believe both. They're that captured. "Planted" "I declassified all of them" "I gave them all back" "They're mine !" His ever-changing stories are just a way station until he can find someone to blame, whether that's a staffer or rudy or a family member. In his latest rally of the Goobers in PA, 45 praised putin as brilliant (despite now losing twice as many soldier in Ukraine since March than the US lost in 15 years of Vietnam...plus losing billions in weaponry and now even losing territory) and praised xi for 'running china with an iron fist'. Funny, xi would take that iron fist against someone who broke laws like 45, and have him arrested, tried, convicted and executed all in the same day. Bottom Line: 45 had no right to the docs. Their mere presence is proof of guilt. He declassified nothing. He lied about handing back everything. He must know DoJ is building a multi-pronged case against him that will likely include several felony charges. Plus, DoJ is likely building cases against anyone who helped 45 break those laws. Behind the scenes plea bargaining is likely happening now, and more facts are being gathered that will convict 45 and send him to the slammer where he belongs. Totally agree with you, but he'll never do jail time. Best that can happen is house arrest and banned from running for public office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow! Were you unaware that Presidents have always been allowed to work from the White House? And that only Trump spent seven hours a day watching television? I may have watched as much as seven hours of television in one day on infrequent occasions, but I've never watched that much on a regular basis. It sounds mind-numbing.

I suspect the charges will conveniently come early November. If I were a Democrat, I'd be sweating about the mid terms, and welcome anything to distract the people from the chaos bad times going in the US. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
