Well sure... that's a logical response. He's a billionaire and decides to get a job at the White House for $175,000 a year.
Do you remember Kushner was denied a security clearance? Maybe it was something in his background investigation due to his financial status, family business and foreign contacts. Hmmm... Wanna wager that Trump had something to do with the override?
jac, possibly the topic of a different blog for the other court cases.
Regarding Mar-a-Lago recap, Trump had his valet Walt Nauta move boxes into various areas. Nara keeps presidential archives and requested he returned the documents. This went on with Trump and his attorneys for months. Trump continues to complain about the search that he calls a raid. They arranged a day and time to have his attorney present. No secret. Trump goes on record about having clothing, personal items and memorabilia he needed to go through. Yeah... he had more than a year to sort through the boxes.
Complaining about Biden's boxes was meaningless as the majority of documents were before he was vice president and not covered on the presidential archives. Anything they was found confidential was immediately turned over. The same from Pence who was found to have some classified documents.
None of this would have happened if Trump would have complied. Instead, he instructed Walt to move the boxes, more than once. Some went to his house in Westminster and some on his jet where agents didn't have knowledge or a warrant to search either of those 2 locations.
So there were lies about the whereabouts of the missing documents. Walt moved boxes back to Mar-a-Lago and Trump's attorney witnessed this.
Later, Trump realized all of this (illegal) activity was on surveillance video he got Carlos involved to see the help of their IT guy to remove the footage of their actions.
Trump was no longer president and in possession of classified documents. A recording came up with Trump showing someone (probably at a party in the Westminster location) and actually discussing the documents were still classified and that he cannot declassify them. This was another strike against him as a lie to the statement that he still retains the right to hold on to classified documents.
Walt and Carlos are connected to this... they appeared on video.
So... anyone who has a different story will have to explain it to the court as the indictment was for all 3 men.
While Trump claimed to know many things, he actually had little knowledge of many and BS'ed his way through. I kinda liked his ability to forecast hurricanes and dispute the national weather service. "Category 5? I never heard of one"
He was always the best at everything and surrounded himself with the smartest and best people.
We used to have a member who was good at facts and figures and supplying charts. He would have been able to talk about inflation figures.
So be it.
There is talk that Trump could actually be imprisoned and get elected. I question the logic of voters. He did lose the popular vote... twice.
I don't know if self-pardon comes into play. If the latest indictment sticks, pardons don't work for that offense.
That lead will likely decay. Trump supporters are getting a reality check. Four indictments and he's using campaign funds to fuel his legal expenses dating back a few years.
Other than his constant social media tirades and complaints during his rallies, what will he give America to make them want to elect him?
Something better and cheaper than Obamacare? A secure border wall that Mexico will pay for?
Wally, yes for some. For others it's LESS physical strain than tennis. Mentioned on my blog about CBD oil, I had a client in her mid 60's who was waiting for knee replacement surgery and she was an avid pickleball player.
Giuliani was one of 19 defendants charged in a sprawling investigation in Fulton County, Georgia. Giuliani said of the indictment on a live-stream podcast: "I know this case backwards and forwards. They're not crimes"
Rudy... see you in court no later than Friday noon or a warrant goes out for your arrest.
Speaking of pickles... On Sunday, I went to lunch with friends at a Jewish Deli. Before the meals arrived, they brought out some rye bread and a plate of sliced pickles. The bread was good, I avoided the pickles.
No problem. Indictment #4 in Georgia that was announced late last night may change some of his calendar appointments. He's got until Friday at noon to voluntarily surrender.
Titanic Theme - ''Hymn to the Sea'' One of the solo instruments in the soundtrack to Titanic is the Irish (Uilleann) pipes. A very haunting instrument with amazing tonal coloration.
I'm giving up on you. In your world, Trump is untouchable and nothing... not one negative, illegal, immoral or questionable thing about Trump, his actions or his family seems to have any effect with you. My reference is an AI robot that cannot accept facts, however presented different than their programming goals.
I said this before... why do I bother conversing with you?
Conspiracy Theories...
Do you have a link to support that?
