Apparently the “planted” evidence is is his now. 😂

@aa-ig3ng That’s misleading because you lack the understanding that there is a literal legal requirement to classify or declassify a document even a President has to follow. The POTUS cannot just decide in his head that a document is no longer classified and that’s it. It must be voiced to appropriate people or written down. In other words, there must be evidentiary support to them being declassified or classified. Those cases spell that out VERY clearly. In this situation, there isn’t a single person nor a single document or email or text so far that is stating that Trump declassified them while in office.

@potcrak1 Did you not read his comment? “If they get him on this lesser charge…” demotes a crime.

@notentirelyapathetic9458 Being uncooperative and obstruction of justice are different things. Don’t conflate them.

@Shichard2006 I wouldn’t pain all Republicans with that brush. I know Trump and his cultists certainly are that way.

It’s not looking good for Trump and for the life of me I don’t understand why most Republicans, priding themselves on Conservative values like respect, values and order aren’t dumping this guy like a spent tampon. He goes against everything they claim they stand for. They have plenty of others to push through. I’m a former Republican myself (now Forward) and this is EXACTLY what drove people like me and so many like me to leave. The GOP simply doesn’t respect anyone anymore. They’ve basically become religious fascists - the Taliban. Heck, Trump literally praised the Taliban, calling them “smart” and “good fighters” and the RNC website published it!

@erickborling1302 The police don’t throw books at anyone. Judges do.

You can add sentences for each conviction, if you get one, but prison? No. No one is suggesting that Trump can go to prison. You don’t want to go down that route - of putting former heads of state into prison. House arrest is the most they can do, but a felony conviction should be enough for Congress to ban him from running for anything again.

@trentdardick Yes, lots of people do.
2
@trentdardick No, but in reality, it would cause dissenting future heads of state to use their power to imprison their predecessors and other possible challengers. There are tons of case studies of this around the world and they all end in dictatorships.

@potcrak1 The police don’t pile anything. Only the DA actually charges criminal charges because it’s the DA who prosecutes. But please go on… keep demonstrating your ignorance of the law and US government. We’re all enjoying the show.

@potcrak1 No, police arrest and recommend charges. The actual charges are filed by the state via the district attorney’s office, by the ADAs.

@trentdardick “Punishments match the crimes”… I don’t think you understand what the justice system is. Imprisonment isn’t designed to punish. It’s to protect the society and in theory to rehabilitate - teach a person to not do it again. It’s not a retribution. As such, most crimes have a big range of sentences that can be imposed, due to circumstances, and how/where those terms are served. A judge has huge leeway on those because every crime, every circumstance is unique and has to be considered on its own merits. States set minimums and maximums for most crimes. Within those ranges, the judge has full autonomy in his/her decision.

@trentdardick No. In sentencing they consider previous convictions in a chronological order. If the judge was to go that way, the defense lawyer would remind them that the later case was actually an earlier crime. The charge, however, doesn’t consider prior convictions. I can commit 100 robberies and each one would be charged simply depending on the robbery itself, not my prior record. However, the sentence given accounts for recidivism, so if I keep committing crimes, the judge will increase the sentences until they get to the max allowed by law for it.

@trentdardick I do not work in law, but have always had interest in it and took classes in college. A few of my friends are lawyers. My father was a prosecutor abroad and my best friend is a prosecutor in NY. Lots of conversations on law and how it’s practiced/applied, which are pretty different things. This situation can be a good case study for public administration, and a good subject of discussion on democracy vs autocracy vs dictatorship. My favorite question to ponder on is whether a dictator is still a dictator if they were elected democratically, and is a country still a democracy even if they no longer have a voting process.

@shiftyeyesnv8352 Yeah… this guy’s not racist at all. Nothing to see here! 😂

@aa-ig3ng The Constitution DOES NOT state that. The Congress does not make rules on classification. You have the reading comprehension of a 5 year-old. What do all those have in common? They’re FACTS.

@springerworks002 He DID resist. He intentionally kept documents from the National Archives’ investigators when they came, twice, to collect them. This is after he intentionally, unlawfully removed them from Federal property to begin with. Why a Republican would support a criminal and a traitor is beyond me. Raegan and Bush must be spinning in their graves.

@edemmick3411 A number of reasons. First, they can’t provide safety and security for a former President in prison. They can’t just put him into general population and they also can’t just put him into solitary. No, they can’t build him a facility. Ut would take years, cost hundreds of millions and then the US becomes the only country in the world with a prison just for its presidents. He can have a house arrest at Mar-A-Lago the full sentence, with a USSS detail and regular checks from probation.

@whovotedforthis6907 There’s no such thing as a fake investigation unless you’re not actually investigating anything.

@notentirelyapathetic9458 That’s false. During his speech that preceded the attack on the Capitol he, not once, encouraged peace in any way. In fact, he was doing the opposite, encouraging violence. He was telling people to “take back the election”, to “stop Congress”, and “fight like hell”, etc. It was only hours after the attack that he told the rioters to peacefully go home.
