Law Trumps home raided

[Strychnine]

Sort of, but he’s also notorious for stiffing his lawyers on legal fees he agreed to pay

This is one example but it has happened numerous times and a lot of big law firms have decided not to represent him because of his history of doing this.

He also promised to pay Giuliani several million (before he lost his license) and never paid.

Yeah, Rudy got bent over and reamed. He'll likely never see a penny of what Trump owes him.

No give me some examples. Ive been asking for pages and nobody can tell me in simple bullet points

What is inside possibly?
Why is it a big deal?
What do you think he did with them?

(a) National Security Information (hereinafter "classified information") shall be classified at one of the following three levels:

• 
  (1) "Top Secret
  " shall be applied to information, the unauthorized disclosure of which reasonably could be expected to cause exceptionally grave damage to the national security.

Isn’t that all you need to know? And TS/SCI is another level….

Does that sound like a “big deal”?

In Trumps case I’m sure it was a high end top law firm…you can be 100% sure they are crooks…

Rudy isn't the cream of the crop

 

[Strychnine]

The lack of news from the fbi and the such makes me think there isn’t much there. You think we would have heard something that was dramatic by now

That's not how active investigations (much less ones involving classified material) work.

Yeah but nobody can even tell me what might be on there

What?

I just want someone to say

He’s a top billing in his office..

 

[kflo]

It's amazing to me that he has been hounded for the last 6 or 7 years by top law enforcement agencies, with nary a mouse fart of evidence to charge him with, yet somehow, all of these people still believe every narrative from the media and his political enemies, and still hold on to hope that this is the time he will go down...it's bizarre that anyone would still believe anything the people going after him says...

This is a fun game.

You’re not at all concerned with him keeping TS and TS/SCI information in a residence and not returning it?

 

[WklySportsMemes]

He had the documents for years. At least since he left the White House over a year and a half.

Why didnt he take them to Mar O Lago during his presidency why wait till after?

Again doesn't matter he was ordered to give them up multiple times post his term. Thus the warrant to go get them once they found out he did not cooperate and once they were tipped off by one of his pals that he still had them. Again even if he was still President they can not be handled like that. You are clearly demonstrating that you do not understand the rules and protocols for high level classified information. Even scarier is after people have explained it to you, you keep asking questions and making statements to show that you still have no grasp of what is legal vs illegal.

Are you suggesting the designation is bullshit? Again, TS has a meaning. Why do you need a specific example when by definition it’s information that could be a national security issue.

I just want to know what may possibly be on there and nobody can even theorize

I'm about as concerned as you were, over Hillary Clinton having top secret documents on her private server.

Comey and the FBI told me that this kind of stuff is just a harmless snafu.

As President, Trump can declassify whatever he wants and at will. This will be the crux of the matter. Did he declassify what was recovered and when? I can't wait to see how this one plays out.

 

[cincymma79]

Honestly the president can declassify whatever they want. He should’ve just opened all of it up and dumped it to some weirdo like infowars. Let them run the stories while everyone says it’s fake then have it all be true. This is just lazy

No, they can’t.

Again, it’s as if people are just ignoring the definition of TS or TS/SCI.

He can’t just declassify at whim and obviously these weren’t declassified.

The sitting President can declassify whatever he wants whenever he wants. The only question is the nuclear angle and is pure speculation at this point.

 

[MicroBrew]

My prediction of how this will all pan out:

- It will be anti-climatic.
- There will be no clear blatant act of espionage, but there may be highly unethical behavior.
- Trump will argue he is a victim and sell himself as a Martyr.
- The Feds will say the evidence justified their raid. The grassroots GOP will rally behind Trump because they got no choice, just as did / do in regards to Trump's coup attempt.
- The non Trumpers will be astonished at just how much Trump gets away with and his base continuing to support him.

News articles say there is a process to carry out ; that he can not just wave his hand and be done with it.

 

[cincymma79]

No, they can’t.

Largely bullshit a usual. Nuclear secrets can’t be but presidents can and do all the time. He is, however, a former president and that’s why I say it’s just lazy he didn’t do it before. Now jump up and down and scream

The President can declassify (nearly) anything at any time without process. That's part of the executive's power. If people don't like it - change it. Did Biden reclassify the material, did Donald declassify it as president, and was any of the material covered under the atomic energy Act(s)? Those are the questions going forward.
