Exactly, there'd be no complaints if it was 100% democrats in the jury, but one republican.......oh no! That's not fair!

 

Should be 50/50 really.

He did not declassify the documents he had in his possession at MaraLago I am afraid. Your view and backstopping of the truth you believe is not the same as true life events.  I will agree to disagree with what you think. The President himself does not have wide sweeping declassification powers. To many security issues in those documents which need to be removed or redacted.

Nice try to avoid actually giving an explanation.

 

I thought MAGA people want to make their country great again.

 

What could be cult-like about that?

 

The country has gone down the toilet; we can see that all the way from Thailand.

I wonder Why imop
“[It’s] a foot-and-a-half of documents, almost everything that the FBI had left out of public sight,” Solomon said in an interview with a right-wing website on Jan. 14, 2021, predicting that the documents could be “made public as early as tomorrow.”

 

But the FBI objected to "any" release at all, Trump’s "declassification" memo said.

Scraping the barrel now then.......lol

 

Claims made in a John Solomon book, the politcal commentator who was removed from the Hill for his discredited opinion pieces and dropped from Fox news for his paid contributions.

 

Where is this make believe memo that Trump wrote to declassify all the docs?

 

Did he also declassify the documents relating to nuclear weapons or Iran's missile program or even the U.S. intelligence work aimed at China?

 

Try harder is my advice to you..................

Indictment of Donald Trump

 

Indictment of Donald TrumpThe People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump is a pending criminal case against Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States.

Your last link is quite interesting. Have you noticed this?

 

The classification system is separate from criminal penalties that Congress has imposed to protect security secrets. For example, the Espionage Act of 1917 — one of the three laws cited in the search warrant of Mar-a-Lago in Florida — is designed to protect secrets related to defense information that could harm the U.S. or aid a foreign adversary. It makes no reference to materials’ classification status, and prosecutors in an Espionage Act case do not need to prove that materials were classified but rather that they were “closely held,” and their release could damage national security.

The search warrant executed in August at Mar-a-Lago cited as “probable cause” violations of relevant parts of the Presidential Records Act, which does not carry criminal penalties, as well as three provisions of criminal law: a part of the Espionage Act that deals with the mishandling of “national defense information” (18 U.S.C. § 793); a records-related obstruction statute (18 U.S.C. § 1519); and a third that deals with the mishandling of public records (18 U.S.C. § 2071). None of the three criminal statutes deal with classified material per se. Penalties differ. The obstruction-related statute carries the strongest sentence of a fine and a maximum 20 years in jail for each offense.

Well OK but I have been responding to concerns about how the Secret Service would be involved following any felony convictions incurring prison time state or federal:

 

Tons of advance planning would go into Trump's security before he entered any sort of prison, according to law enforcement experts. Keeping an ex-president safe while in jail would be a major concern, and it's not something that security officials have had to plan for before.
