Exactly. The far right is completely off its rocker. |
"Constitutional lawyer and scholar" - HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! NO he isn't. He's a radio host and has been for 20 years. He hasn't published any academic pieces on constitutional law in legal journals or law reviews. He hasn't argued a constitutional case in his life. Yes, he has a law degree, served as an attorney in private sector and as a second-tier bureaucrat in the Reagan administration but has zero qualifications as "constitutional lawyer and scholar" other than whatever self-professed grandiose delusions he may have. But I guess he has you baffled into believing his schtick because he wrote some books and included a few bookmarked quotes from Hobbes or de Tocqueville or whoever. This is your expert? https://www.mediaite.com/tv/martha-maccallum-tries-to-correct-confused-mark-levin-during-unhinged-rant-about-trump-classified-documents/ |
And Sidney Powell used to be a US attorney. She's still a wacko and conspiracy theorist. |
What's NOT in the indictment: evidence that Trump destroyed and/or altered any documents. Evidence that Trump passed any documents to foreign spies or countries. This indictment was written for a jury they hope will be majority/all democrats.
If there's any doubt in anyone's minds as to how political this indictment is (goal: destroy 2024 election), read the following articles. Even the ABA stated this: "The fact check looks at the legal landscape for handling classified information and other government secrets, including those under the Atomic Energy Act. The new posting notes that a president clearly has broad legal authority, in most cases, to classify and declassify documents. And it also points out that while prevailing law requires federal officials to follow certain procedures in declassifying documents to establish specificity and memorialization for future handling, whether a president must abide by those formal requirements has yet to be tested in court." https://www.reuters.com/article/us-clinton-fbi-commentary-idINKCN0ZM1TG https://www.cnbc.com/2016/07/05/fbi-director-james-comey-has-concluded-the-investigation-into-clintons-emails.html https://www.americanbar.org/news/abanews/aba-news-archives/2022/10/legal-fact-check-document-declassification/ https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/all-things-trump/old-case-over-audio-tapes-bill-clintons-sock-drawer-could-impact |
Levin is not Powell. We are talking Levin. Quoting Salon is just as wacky as quoting Powell. |
Mark Reed Levin (born September 21, 1957) is a Constitutional lawyer, president of the prestigious Landmark Legal Foundation in Washington D.C., a top-rated nationally syndicated conservative talk radio host and a best selling non-fiction author. Also, the former Chief of Staff for Attorney General Edwin Meese during the Reagan Administration. |
Sorry, but that's a fail. Merely calling Levin a constitutional lawyer makes him no more a constitutional lawyer than calling him an astronaut would make him an astronaut. |
Wow really? I must have been asleep when Salon was involved in wild conspiracy theories involving companies acting on the behest of a dead Venezuelan dictator stole an election using foreign satellites and then staging a coup as a result of it. Just as wacky? No. Not even remotely as wacky as Powell. |
I also don't recall anyone from Salon going around shrieking "MORON! PUKE!" at people they disagreed with in an attempt to shut them down. On a scale of wacky, those three would be: Least wacky <---------------- ---------------------->Most wacky Salon Mark Levin Sidney Powell |
Do yourself a favor, and read the laws. What you’re saying is nonsensical. |
He hasn't asserted it in ANY of the court pleadings to date. Too late. |
It’s not too late. He hasn’t presented a defense yet. His attorneys have been arguing over access to seized material. |
Then please point out what was false. |
re the bolded...none of that is needed to be found guilty under the law. Why are you posting a red herring? |
He is only a constitutional lawyer because that is what he calls himself., That doesn't make him one. |
