Yup. It’s potentially illegal. Private e-mail can be insecure, and the executive is required to use government accounts for archiving purposes

Oh geeze you’re going to try your red herring again?

The White House Chief of staff is who we are talking about here.

The texts and emails we were read tonight are from Senators, Congressmen, etc… communicating with Mark / The White House Chief of Staff, in the middle of his work day, at his office, in his official capacity, in the white house, literally about what was occurring in our government and the president.

I read where Trump would write something down and then tear it up and put in in a trash can. The WH got two staff to sort through the Oval Office trash and tape back together all of his notes. Anything that the POTUS writes or dictates must be preserved as official government records.

Not just the prez.

Missed this gem the first time.

Ya, You. For the entire '16 campaign.

I’ll chock it all up to a misunderstanding of the presidential records act if you join me in calling for Jared’s entire Whatsapp history during the administration to be made public.

Yup. That was one of the central beefs with Clinton’s e-mails.

Edit: Jared’s Whatsapp-oh yes. He was doing a bunch of off-the-books foreign policy, that must be accounted for.

I have always wondered how many files get deleted in the west wing before the previous administration leaves.

Wouldn’t it be better to beat Trump at the ballot box instead of this never ending digging and smearing campaign which started with Russia, Ukraine impeachments now January 6th? Biden won the last election all he needs to do is be a popular president to win. The vast majority of people are 100 times more worried about inflation than January 6th.

January 6th are for those people who don’t have the problems most of the population is facing right now. A good example ask the regular working person people making under 60k a year which is more important Jan 6th or the price of groceries, climate change or the price of gas. If Biden loses in 2024 and the democrats lose in 2022 midterms it was because they are not popular with the voters. Be a better leader/candidate would be my message.

God, love Nixon. Fault the man for everything except his record keeping.

After Nixon I never heard of another POTUS who recorded Oval Office meetings.

Hillary hobbled her old self into congress and spent, what, 12 hours in front of Trey Gowdy and she never whined like this.

Disagree. They’re going to try it again unless found out.

So…the protests were government business then? Ok. You say so.
Prosecute. Dems have the DoJ, and still will after 2022.

One of the charges is “Obstruction of an Official Proceeding”. So yeah. .

Sounds about right.

You’re hilarious right now, Doug.

That we agree on. Can anyone tell me why the FBI wouldn’t be also very interested in all this off book communication?

Nice try. you don’t get a pass for attempting a coup. There are consequences. What’s the matter? Law and order has no meaning now?

All the sturm und drang over Benghazi, yet the same people can’t be bothered when an attempt to overturn a lawful election more and more appears to be coordinated from the highest office in the land.

We live in strange times.

They are going to try to find what unless found out? Not following you

The FBI report called it a non organized riot, only the left wing is keeping the coup word going while bleeding independent and swing voters who are watching their purchasing power disappear as inflation runs rampant.
