Trump appears to concede he illegally retained official documents in filing


Donald Trump appeared to concede in his court filing surrounding the seizure of materials from his Florida resort that he unlawfully retained official government documents, as the former president argued that some of the documents collected by the FBI could be subject to executive privilege.

Lock him up!

much as i'd want to see trump in jail , mainly for refusing to gtfo of the office ,

This document thing doesent sound like that much of a big deal really.
a paperwork error .
I doubt there is actually any malicious intent.

unlike when he tried a coup on jan6th


This document thing will all lead to nothing ... and the trumpites will just put him higher up on the persecuted martyr pedastal.

The trouble with him is he has a marked tendency to do dumb and egotistical things that have the appearance of criminal intent. Of course, if he had been removed after impeachment for 1/6 the question of him running would be moot.

He should have gotten the boot after Jan 6.

I'm sorry how many convictions for insurrection? Still 0?

reply

yup . And I doubt there will ever be any , as its its not black and white law-wise only common sense-wise.

He can always plead " i just said and did those things (and didnt do other things like try to stop it) because im a fucking moron"

...and the jury would have to buy it , after all there's lots of evidence to back that up.

It'd go like this.
Trump Lawyer: "I put it to you your honor that my client did not intend to start a riot , he's just to dumb and egotistical to see the consequences of his actions"
Trump : "OBJECTION!"
Trump Lawyer: "case in point , my client is stupid enough to object to his own defence council"
Trump : "OBJECTION!"

Trump's cult believe it's fine for their cult leader to steal hundreds of highly classified documents, including with nuclear information and CIA information, placing personnel and the country in danger.

Then, they wonder why they're called a cult.
