Nearly two years out of office, former President Trump continues to argue that he’s imbued with the powers of the presidency.
I’m not understanding the “Strikes Out” in the headline. Was there a ruling against DOJ or just the unsealing?
Edit: Re-reading it I think he means “Lashes Out”.
Edit 2: Aaaaand it’s been updated.
Headline is confusing. Made it sound like the DOJ “Struck Out” with regards to their arguments.
How long before the Trump children cut bait?
“I declassified it, therefore I own it” is just a complete non sequitur. As if a bank teller were to say “I picked up the stack of $100 bills, therefore it was legal for me to put it in my pocket and take it home.” Calling it a “shell game” is way too genteel. It’s unadulterated bullshit. Maybe I’m missing something. But it’s very frustrating to watch.
“Headline Strikes Out At Conveying Story.”
(Kidding, Mr. Kovensky! I’m a kidder! I kid!)
or “attacks”- Josh K was not raised with American baseball slang.
Someone needs to take Josh K to a baseball game.
I’m in.
Josh K? Baseball? Strikeout?
(I see what you did there.)
Lock Trump up!!! HE is the enemy of the people. And his millions of minions too!!!
Buy him some peanuts and Cracker Jacks.
Trump really believes that ‘possession is 9/10ths of the law.’
Trump is clearly ‘possessed’.
I just wish the DOJ would file charges today and be done with it. Just one big Fuck You!
Dearie may agree with the DOJ and act, but I worry what Cannon will do to assist Trump. She has already shown her willingness to indulge his efforts at delay and confusion. It’s actually pretty clear except to those wearing or creating Trump spectacles.
Pair the lawyer’s claim with the video of Trump’s boasting about he made it a felony to mishandle government documents, for all you need to know about his presidency and what he is.
qualified as a “designation decision,” and that, therefore, the records are “presumptively personal.”
Oh no. The old four-words-to-endlessly-debate strategy.
Dearie won’t buy it, but loosey cannon might overrule him, creating more delay. And then even more delay when DoJ appeals the overruling.
Geeeesus! Just lay an/some indictment(s) on the SOB and get on with removing him from public life!
Ok. The election is over. Time to stop playing the shell games and arrest this guy.
I would think it depends how much they got from The Intern’s $2 billion deal with the Saudis.
