“SC”. But yeah.
You call that winning?
I don’t. It is more like a hammer to the head of everyone that works.
And Trump going on national TV to say that he took them.
Trumps lawyers admitted that he took them.
WuWei:Yes, they did.
OK than…I’m expecting charges.
On the documents? Me too.
I wouldn’t have done that.
On the documents? Me too.
I wouldn’t be holding your breath.

What? Of course I call it winning. Trump gave them the whole government for 2 years and they’ve got the two most important pieces for another 2.
Dumbass is loading the courts as we speak.

I wouldn’t be holding your breath.
I’m not, but I do expect them.

He did it after Trump “announced” for 2024. I think the goal was to undercut any nonsense about that, although I’m not sure what I would have done, in his place.
Too many eggs in one basket.
I’m not, but I do expect them.
They would have to prove that Trump didn’t declassify them…or Trump knowingly taken em without doing so.
No reasonable prosecutor…

I can understand how winning can look like that, from the losing side.
DougBH:Without the breaking into the Capitol, everything that happened that day was a protest, as protected by the first amendment. There has been no evidence that he expected or planned for anyone to break into the Capitol building.
But once they did break in, Trump did nothing except to throw fuel on the fire with his tweet about Pence.
Than he sat back and watched while a whole bunch of folks pleaded for him to stop all of it.
His whole decision to make the election process his giant issue was a terrible decision that may have cost him what would have otherwise been a re nomination and another chance in 2024. It was a big mistake. Just not a planned “insurrection” on his part.

Nope. They are marked and registered classified. Trump would have to prove he did.

That’s not exactly how it works.
First, Trump would have to claim that he declassified them. He hasn’t actually done that, in court.
Then he’d have to provide evidence that he declassified them, and the prosecution would have an opportunity to provide evidence that he didn’t - or that his testimony that he did is not credible.
Right. The default is they are classified.
Will see…
Right. The default is they are classified.
Yes, the markings would establish at least a rebuttable presumption that the documents are classified.

The classification of the documents does not change the fact that he broke the law by having Government documents that he was not suppose to have.
