House Oversight Committee Chair Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) promised on Monday night to look into how ex-President Donald Trump was able to take at least 15 boxes of White House records, that he was supposed to give to the National Archives, to his Mar-A-Lago resort in Florida instead.
This is a big deal, absolutely, but I donāt see anything coming of it. Yes, āmostā of the documents have been returned, but this is just another violation that wonāt see any prosecution or penalty.
He probably intended it to hang over the entry to his presidential library. You know, the one that will never be built - like Trump Tower Moscow - because heās torn up most of what little might have gone into it.
tfg really likes that one because it puts his contempt for the nationās citizens (and humanity at large) on full display. It basically says āfuck you all, I decide the way things are, not some pointy-headed know-it-all expert. If I say itās so, then itās so!ā
The Democrat described the revelations as ādeeply troubling ā but not surprising.ā
Democrats can be their own worst enemy with their messaging.
Saying ābut not surprisingā is an unnecessary dig that minimizes this as, āgosh, there he goes againā.
Focus on the rules violated and drop the commentary that deflects from the point.
They should also check into missing golf clubs, golf carts, china, silverware, paintings and those ever popular red Christmas trees Melania graced the WH with. You know this guy took lots of stuff.
One important step is to make it clear that if thereās anything else out there, it must be returned, and that anyone having knowledge of it is culpable unless they do so immediately.
