Ex-NSA attorney calls Trump’s admission ‘shocking’
What’s shocking is that he isn’t awaiting trial behind bars.
@Elizabeth Stanley I still haven’t heard your argument to explain away the top secret documents. So let’s hear it!
I want to personally thank DT and his idiotic lawyers for nonstop blabbing which further incriminates them. Good job! Keep blabbing!
@MuchoEd Just an observation, not an argument, playing dumb doesn’t work!
@C12H180-PC and your point is????
@MuchoEd I did – you said “what have they done that is incriminating?”
@MuchoEd Read the affidavit. Notice it references 3 criminal statutes.
Read these criminal statutes:
18 U.S. Code 2071
18 U.S. Code 793
18 U.S. Code 1519
Notice that none of these laws make any mention of classified material. Whether the materials were classified or not, or if they were ever declassified, is irrelevant.
Notice that Trump has confessed to violating the first two: By claiming the documents he had were privileged, he admitted he had them. By claiming the documents he had were privileged, he ALSO admitted he withheld those same records when asked to return them (since his argument is that he didn’t return them due to said executive privilege). He has no executive privilege – he’s not the executive.
Hopefully that will answer your questions.
Those documents were not his in the first place. Therefore, he has NO right to dictate how they should be handled.
@Elizabeth Stanley She stood up and was accountable. She never pled the fifth. She didn’t have any “memory lapses.” She was an ethical leader. Whereas trump pled the fifth more times than I can count…so he wouldn’t incriminate himself. You know, like a criminal.
@LJ I agree with that but it isn’t what he said. He is blaming the “three branches of govt” which is ridiculous.
Hilary Clinton
Why? Why? People stop acting like we don’t know wtf he was doing!
Documents would of gave him leverage against US government in response to indictment of Jan 6th consequences, this was last week’s of presidency.
This was a very unorganized and poorly executed last minute plan to avoid accountability
If I a citizen walk into the archives and attempt to walk out with the Declaration of Independence, a document for public viewing, I would be arrested immediately. Here, these are stolen classified documents by a citizen that were accessible by anyone who visited his resort and yet he remains free. Good grief.
Exactly!!

FINALLY !!!😃✌🏻here is finally!
Oh for crying out loud, throw this traitorous criminal in jail already! How many laws must he break, how many crimes must he commit before justice takes over? It’s illegal to have these documents, period. He broke the law, period. He should be arrested, period. Wtf am I missing here?
Well said.
Hilary Clinton
@LD 😂🤣 in jail he will have to wear a wig and a g string.
👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿
What a nightmare. All this damage from one man’s ego.

FINALLY !!!😃✌🏻here is finally!
And an entire party complicit in crimes against America. He was not operating alone. Never forget that.
…from one man’s pathology.
“Just say it was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the REPUBLICAN Congressmen” – Donald Trump to the DOJ
@PeaceLoveHarmony Sounds like I owe you a 20 spot!
@PeaceLoveHarmony I am finding that too. I ask my Trumpster friends if they are watching the hearings and they “say some of it”
What if it was a family member on trial . Would they say the same thing. ?
@HitNRun WTF does that mean?
Mind blowing, this is unprecedented. United state of America 🇺🇸 has tolerated too much nonsense from this man and it’s time he’s put in his place once and for all!
@The Plumber Sure about that? I wouldn’t bet on it.
@Brandi Lewis What about Hillary? Add material, make some point.
The so-called patriots who defend this breach of our national security amaze me.
PINOs?
@Mdebacle YEA, BATH SALTS
Another reason why it is a joke to say that ‘everyone is equal under the law’, why does anyone in the justice system have to bend over backward for a guy that was clearly breaking the law, knew it, lied about it then tried to obstruct? At what point will it be proven to the American people that everyone is equal under the law?
1 Douglas Hughes Fuk what you saying it here 😠 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRdI9j2ZsDg
Felicidades, es un buen ejemplo. 😠

Saludos desde la Cd.. de world 🌹😉💖
los mortales abian apreciado tan hermosa mujer
Agree, such b
Deference, to a man who least deserves it.
If you work at Walmart, and take home blank writing paper, without permission, you’re getting charged with theft at the least!
That’s like saying “you should expect to find drugs, he’s a drug dealer” what a horrible defense team..
It it about time to send Trump to jail!
Makes sense to republicans
He deserves what he gets – let’s just hope he gets what he deserves
Trump saying “you should’ve expected classified documents” is hilarious after two weeks of him claiming said documents were both “planted” and “declassified”.
Trump lies so much he has no idea which way is up or down anymore
u don’t have to remember all ur lies when u tell the truth
The saddest part of the whole thing is; you see many gullible crazies believe every single nonsense he spews out.
Unfortunately that goes for a whole lot of people who apparently don’t consider inconsistent,.. relevant, or haven’t noticed.
“I didn’t have those top secret documents lying on the floor. I hid them in boxes.” — Donald Trump defending himself
@Tinstrings those were planted
Laying them all over the floor is ridiculously reckless!! I put them in a unsecured room & let people go in & out, mishandling them & sending off documents to our adversaries
@ Yoga For The Ageless 🤣
@Tal Moore. . .in BIGGLY BIG boxes. Lots and Lots of Biggly BIG boxes
It’s super disheartening how many ignorant, WILLFULLY IGNORANT, people we have in the country.
Willing to throw their lives away, for a 76 year old conman.
What a life. Yikes 😬…
Hillary Clinton
@Brandi Lewis there’s a person cult of Hillary? Lol
@Brandi Lewis Brandi Lewis, Colonel Sanders, Santa Claus, Superman.
“Tonight, I say this to GOP who are defending the indefensible – there will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain
Cheryl,
You are right,that stink will hang around
them,for the rest of their ( short let’s hope) time in office!
Stay Safe, Stay Strong, Vote Carefully, Be Cool ,Be True, Vote Blue,Remove and Improve, Help Others please!
Stated by Lindsey Graham, who is now defending Trump’s “honor.”
“We cannot have someone in Oval Office who doesn’t understand meaning of ‘Confidential’ and ‘Classified’ ” – Donald Trump 2016
He forgot to add “or is too stupid to care.”
Maybe trumpy believes he is also employed as a librarian?
The fact that trump refuses to see the significance of his actions should disqualify him from running for federal public office at any level.
Any office not ever dog catcher.
I wouldn’t even let him enter my house, let alone running for a public office!
Yeah yeah cause you are the judge, you trolls.
The fact that a undercover government agent was shown these documents and could give there exact location in his office means he was showing them to anyone interested or he thought might be interested in that information they contain. This is the biggest case of espionage the US has faced.
glen…that’s exactly what my hubby said just a few minutes ago!…
