Don’t you hate when the guy you really need to clarify something is dead? (Beckler)
It’s really the worst isn’t it?
I will go out on a limb and predict these people will lose in court…who is getting the billable hours on this trifle of a suit…well done whoever you may be.
“Some criminal law experts have expressed skepticism about the transition’s claims to legal ownership of the emails,”
More like “all criminal law experts”.
No collusion here, but if there was collusion, you have no right to see it.
Can TPM seriously stop the "Trump Says . . " headlines and replace them with something accurate?
"Despite Lack of Legal Basis, Trump CLAIMS . . . "
I hope the lawyers continue to encourage that feces-hurling Russian traitor Anusmouth-Putindickholster and his sleazy traitor spawn to file lawsuits.
So. Much. Irony…
Wasn’t it Republican’ts, in the throes of rationalizing the NSA illegally hoovering up all of America’s electronic communications, who condescendingly said, “Hey, if you don’t have anything to hide you’ve got nothing to worry about!”?
The vast cache of emails should never have been delivered to the Russia election meddling investigators without Trump for America’s authorization, a lawyer for the transition group wrote in the letter obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press.
Of course, a subpoena served on GSA would get the emails since GSA was in possession. So, what’s the problem, Trump team? No time to erase them and wipe the servers with acid?
Nahigian said the agency’s cooperation with the special counsel without the knowledge of the transition “will irreversibly chill the operations of future presidential transition teams.”
No more colluding with foreign governments to steal an election?
GOP Summer-Fall 2016: Y’all need to see these DNC emails released by Wikileaks. Why isnt the Media paying more attention to Robert Podesta’s hacked emails? Russia, if you’re out there, maybe you can find Hillary Clinton’s 30,000 emails for us. I love Wikileaks!
GOP 2017-2018-My God, man, expectation of privacy. Don;t you folks know that Transition emails are Private property? We are going to use the FOIA to get information on how GSA turned over the emails, but these emails were entitled to complete secrecy.
Nahigian said the agency’s cooperation with the special counsel without the knowledge of the transition “will irreversibly chill the operations of future presidential transition teams.”
Maybe that’s not such a bad idea.
My goodness, yes. Imagine what the expectation of accountability would do for transition team decorum.
Even if true (and I doubt it is), what is the authority of the GSA administrator to agree to ignore public records laws?
So are they saying it should have been done through Wikileaks??
Indeed. And, if he (Beckler), had made that decision, and sent a memo to Mueller’s office, wouldn’t he also normally have informed the transition by sending them the same memo? And maybe, I don’t know, looped in his deputy?
The nerve.
This is the second time its been written about here, they don’t have legal grounds to take it to court so they are depending on GOP members of congress picking up the story and running with it…
I hope that when all said, all is uncovered, that some one somewhere is keeping track of the money spent on the cover ups, the suits, counter-suits, and right down to the number of rubber bands, post-it- notes, and paperclips this Trump business venture has cost the US citizens.
Which if they run with it doesn’t that leave it open to an investigation? And once the lid is taken off do they really want to see what Trump & Co. stored in this can?
