Trumpers on the take….
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/10/us/jared-kushner-saudi-investment-fund.html
Trump was previously stating the FBI planted evidence, but his own lawyer just declared Trump was watching the whole thing on CCTV and they have recording. So much for that.

Trump bagsy it first.
You are aware this isn't a game?
What does that even mean ?
It means it’s time to ignore a poster.
Why break the habit of a lifetime.
if he told the truth about it, he might not be able to con as much money out of the so called critical thinkers who support him.
Well this is a totally normal event.
Armed trump supporters outside Phoenix FBI building

Interesting how the espionage act which was a law hated by liberals until 10 minutes ago gets a sudden make over.
Interesting how the people shouting 'lock her up' for years, now think it's fine to be much more reckless with sensitive national security files
What sensitive material exactly and was that person you're referring to raided by the FBI?
How long are you going to keep asking daft and irrelevant questions?
So do you think the names of law enforcement personnel should be kept secret, even when those names are on a warrant?
Because it hasn't been determined that Trump has been reckless or mishandled any national security files.
At this stage just make "being Donald Trump" a capital crime and be done with it. At least that would be honest.
Yep.
What's your opinion on the lies trump has issued around the execution of the warrant resulting in the death of two of his supporters this week?
What is it exactly about Trump that you admire so much that you'll keep embarrassing yourself time after time?
Surely you think that law enforcement should be accountable to the public. If you were stopped and searched by a member of AGS, you don't believe you should be entitled to their names?
The President by definition cannot “mishandle” classified information. The Presidency is the only constitutional and legal position to which this applies. (Which is why HRC, as a cabinet officer, by rights could well have been charged for gross mishandling of such info. But her husband could not while he was POTUS). Up until the second Biden took the oath, Trump could still have taken material- classified or not- from the WH. Presidents have always done this, how do you think Presidential libraries are stocked? Once a President takes material that is classified out of the WH or a secure location, they thereby render it unclassified.
Amazing to me how people across this issue think that some low level civil service spook can just classify something and that somehow supersedes the HEAD OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH...
Is that really true? My god, if only Trump had known this he could have settled this ages ago.
Makes you wonder why he said the FBI planted things. What could they plant when clearly he is the law.
Or come to think of it, why did he also sat all they needed to do was ask and he would give them back? Why would he give them back when he was perfectly entitled to have them?
Of course there will beva record of him stating there were declassified. Should be easy enough to produce from the WH logs.
And of course there would be a paper trail, because obviously those whose job it is to protect and secure classified documents aren't just going to unclassify them based on hearsay. For their own protection they would want a direct order and evidence of it in writing.
No doubt Trump will produce that in the coming days
You know, for the fake documents that were planted by the FBI on the behest of Biden and the Democrats!
I do, you and anyone else don't
The incoherence of your comment aside, I’ll restate - Presidents throughout history have taken material with them when leaving the WH. In recent history that is how they stock their libraries and/or write memoirs. The National Archives don’t have an absolute right to everything the President generates during time in office. They have a legal right to official docs. That said, there is often a negotiation when POTUS leaves office over personal notes, pictures, etc. where the archives tries to get everything- even personal items - and some things POTUS doesn’t give up.
The fact that the FBI took physical boxes out of MAL tells me they were confiscating Trump’s own notes and mementos that would be in hard copy. Today, anything related to the official business of the POTUS and WH would have been on servers and already all captured, backed up and sent to the archives already.
Anyone who knows better understands this raid was not about official WH documents or classified material and takes a large amount of wilful ignorance to argue otherwise.
But you just said in your previous post that law enforcement names should not be made public???
Their name still would not be public knowledge, you really aren't that good at this are you.
Again not really good at this are you.
Absolutely the president can mishandle classified information. Here’s the law on it:
Can you point to the sentence where it says the president is exempt from this law?
So many things wrong with this post I don't know where to start.
Apart from what you appear to have done is search the internet for a law which you think fits your argument, do you even know the piece of legislation you linked to is and specifically what part of this legislation do you think Trump is being charged with and when you've done that, can you show me what part of this legislation was used or is quoted in the Judges warrant to search MAL???
You are after quoting the wrong person. Again you really aren't good at this.
Also still waiting for your opinion on the lies trump told regarding the execution of the warrant resulting in the death of two of his supporters this week.
Are you absolutely sure that, as you wrote, "once a president takes material that is classified out of the WH or a secure location, they thereby render it unclassified. I am aware of this item "On Friday, Mr. Trump’s office claimed that when he was president, he had a “standing order” that materials “removed from the Oval Office and taken to the residence were deemed to be declassified the moment he removed them,” according to a statement read on Fox News by a right-wing writer Mr. Trump has designated as one of his representatives to the National Archives." LINK:https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/14/us/politics/trump-classified-documents.html
Given the staff position of the Trump staffer who read the item on Fox News, and the failure of Trump and his staff to be honest and above board in their dealings with the National Archives over documents it knew he had deprived them lawful possession of, I'd be inclined to take the statement read out on Fox News with a pinch of salt.
Thing is, the residence mentioned in the statement is the one in the White House, the same building as the Oval Office. and not his family home at the Mar-A-Lago estate in Florida. Conflating one residence with another is just a cute hoor try on by his office staff. The other point is that where's the proof Trump declassified the last stash of documents taken from his Mar-A-Lago residence. The only thing needed to believe this is the ability to accept the word of a proven liar who failed to get re-elected.
Apart from what you appear to have done is search twitter for a law which you think fits your argument, do you even know the piece of legislation you linked to is and specifically what part of this legislation do you think Trump is being charged with and when you've done that, can you show me what part of this legislation was used or is quoted in the Judges warrant to search MAL???
You and your lawyer are entitled to know their names.
That is not the same thing as releasing their names to your fanatical followers and the media, lying about the circumstances around the incident and then idly standing by as your followers go off to locate the personal details of those officers and potentially threaten and harass them and their families.
I have not “just searched Twitter for a law that suits my argument”.
I have given you a link to the text of federal statute 18 U.S. Code 793, more commonly known as the Espionage Act - which is referenced in the warrant used by the FBI, which you handily linked a couple of pages ago.
So, I ask again: where in the text of the law of which Trump is under investigation for, does it exempt the president?
