But Hilary’s emails!!!! |
Do the people around you know how insane you are? |
How on earth are they going to get an unbiased jury for Trump, in Florida or anywhere else? |
Can someone explain how this is markedly different than Bill Clinton and the court's ruling under the Presidential Records Act? https://ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show_public_doc?2010cv1834-13 The Court notes at the outset that there is broad language in Armstrong I stating that the PRA accords the President “virtually complete control” over his records during his time in office. 924 F.2d at 290. In particular, the court stated that the President enjoys unconstrained authority to make decisions regarding the disposal of documents: “[a]lthough the President must notify the Archivist before disposing of records . . . neither the Archivist nor Congress has the authority to veto the President’s disposal decision.” Id., citing H.R. Rep. No. 95-1487, at 13 (1978), reprinted in 1978 U.S.C.C.A.N. at 5744. Since the President is completely entrusted with the management and even the disposal of Presidential records during his time in office, it would be difficult for this Court to conclude that Congress intended that he would have less authority to do what he pleases with what he considers to be his personal records. **** Because the audiotapes are not physically in the government’s possession, defendant submits that it would be required to seize them directly from President Clinton in order to assume custody and control over them. Def.’s Mem. in Support of Mot. to Dismiss at 1, 15–18. Defendant considers this to be an “extraordinary request” that is “unfounded, contrary to the PRA’s express terms, and contrary to traditional principles of administrative law.” Id. at 1. The Court agrees. |
One quarter of eligible people in Florida don’t even vote. https://www.dos.myflorida.com/elections/data-statistics/elections-data/voter-turnout/ |
You’re missing the crucial “during his time in office” part. |
This has already been covered. Bigly. If you can't see the difference, that is a you problem. |
I think you’ll be surprised that a lot of voters feel this way. Remember how the right’s great achievement of overturning Roe came back to bite them in the midterm? For every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction. |
"Equal justice under the law" doesn't apply if you have an R behind your name. |
Yep! The ex-Presidents haven’t jerked NARA/the gov around trying to keep the documents. Classified documents are government property not, personal property. Trump acts like a king or dictator, which isn’t what we have in the US. But by all means keep up your whataboutism because we know you can’t do anything else. |
The equal justice is that he IS being indicted for crimes HE allegedly committed. If he wasn't charged THAT would be two tiered. Are you suggesting a former president is above the law? Because in the old days, that would be a king. We had a revolution over that, remember? |
Among many other differences, these tapes were considered personal by Clinton and NARA, and the court agreed. They also were not classified. |
+1 And he’s been treated with kid gloves for two years. He basically begged DOJ to prosecute. Anyone else would have been in prison by now. |
As soon as HELL FREEZES OVER! |
