Trump has been warned about a vast number of things by an incredibly wide variety of people and organizations. He’s been warned by members of his own family, close personal associates, business associates, numerous lawyers, various Federal and State Law Enforcement agencies, various Federal and State Courts, numerous politicians inside his own party, multiple former Presidents and at least two former Vice Presidents, one of which is known to shoot people and have them apologize for it.
He doesn’t listen and he never will as long as the warnings about consequences don’t come true.
He knows more than the generals
and all of those people of course.
Wait, he still has them?!
The preamble of the article clarifies that documents showing that his advisors told him if he kept the documents he would be charged, have been unsealed. The obvious importance being that he cannot use the defence of, “Who knew?!”
Regular people don’t get to use being unaware of laws as a defense so it shouldn’t even matter.
But it does apparently because he is a rich narcissist.
On advice of council is a defense. And this shows he did the opposite.
It was already ruled that Jr was too dumb to have colluded with Russia despite their best efforts to work with him during his dad’s campaign.
The argument isn’t that he was unaware of the law but that he was unaware he was violating it. In order to be convicted of mishandling the classified documents it has to be proven that he did it intentionally. The law is forgiving for accidental mishandling.
It refutes more than just playing dumb. It also confirms that all of his magic declassification excuses are bullshit and he knows it. He also used promises of a pardon to convince the guy to do things that both knew were illegal. Textbook definition of criminal conspiracy and corruption.
Trump took boxes onto the plane before the search The FBI didn’t search a closet and a storage area that they were supposed to. They were kept on stage in a ballroom. They were stored next to a copier in a bathroom. Cellphones have cameras.
Of course he still has documents. And those that he doesn’t have were copied or photographed. God only knows how many hands they’re in now.
Why wouldn’t he? What repercussions has he suffered?
It’s ok, he already sold anything worth value.
When you are famous they let you do it.
The Access Hollywood clip that, amongst other things, certainly swung the election. That’s what the history books should say so these past years aren’t all so embarrassing.
