President Trump re-upped his argument that the January 6 Committee’s investigation is illegitimate this week, telling the Supreme Court that Congress is really trying to have Trump arrested over the Capitol insurrection.
So he wants to seal off his evidence of crimes . Because he was innocent?

This just smacks of guilt. He knows he’s guilty. Not that he feels bad, but he doesn’t want to go to jail.
The most innocent man ever in American history, if I recall correctly.
[“His argument is nearly monarchical in its reach, claiming that former presidents have the right to seal off records pertinent to investigations into wrongdoing that took place during their time in office.”]
Nearly?
Trump will get home arrest and an ankle bracelet.
Seems like an admission of guilt here and asking the S.C. to participate in the cover-up. It’s not subtle.
To Trump’s point, who among us will be safe if Prosecutors are allowed to investigate people they believe may have committed crimes, rather than just the more traditional indictment based on color, or economic status?
Thin, watery soup, not a meal for SCOTUS.
Much as it pains me to say it, TMFWWNBN will never be charged with anything related to 1/6, let alone found guilty.
We’ll see if SCOTUS does the right thing here, or if the stepford wife, rapey mcbeerface and frozen trucker come through for him
Cults can deal with lack of subtlety fine.
That ability (the ability to tolerate and applaud Trump’s rank criminality by Republican voters, minions and politicians) caught millions of people by surprise starting from the first time we laid eyes on this man.
Some people are saying that.
But a lot of people don’t know that.
Uncle Thomas will agree with Massa Trump whatever it is.
I think the fuse on my sarcasm meter just blew. Thank you for the Sahara level dry humor. Sad it’s more than a little true though.
If trying to overthrow the government doesn’t create a valid need for legislative action, then nothing does.
There’s no exploration about it, this was on TV. This was a televised crime and “We the People” want that crime punished to the extent that it never happens again.
Bengazi, anyone?
“asking the S.C. to participate in the cover-up. It’s not subtle.“
He’s all practiced up, with his Georgia elections call.
“The Committee cannot make a mockery of Congress’s constitutional mandate that its requests and investigation be supported by a ‘valid legislative purpose,'” Jesse Binnall, a Trump attorney, wrote in the filing.
In other words, investigating how and why a mob was able to interrupt a process of Congress that is mandated by the Constitution has no “valid legislative purpose”.
Thompson, Trump said, “admitted his goal of uncovering information that could result in a criminal referral to the Department of Justice.”
Gee, isn’t that pretty much an admission that THERE IS CRIMINAL EVIDENCE???
