Trump 'tearing up documents like a toddler' demands DOJ grow a 'spine': former prosecutor

[UCmeNdc]

Former president Donald Trump's destruction of documents didn't just violate the Presidential Records Act — it was part of a cover-up related to the Capitol insurrection, according to MSNBC analyst Neal Katyal.

Appearing on MSNBC on Tuesday night, the former federal prosecutor was asked what the Department of Justice needs to investigate Trump for his habit of ripping up official White House records.

"A spine," Katyal responded. "This is easy. This is not hard."

"Trump's defense is, 'Well, I ran my business this way. I used to evidently tear up records like a toddler there, too,'" Katyal said. "That is not a defense! You're the president of the United States. There was a law passed to deal expressly with this after President Nixon's attempted destruction of documents and the like. It's called the Presidential Records Act, and it's very clear.

1. Don't you know, rules/laws

don't apply to him or his family. He's gotten away with murder for over 70 years. What the hell is Garland waiting for? Does the Jan 6 Committee have to do all the work? There's a midterm deadline, Garland!

4. Amen!

When someone with Neal Katyal's status is criticizing Garland, we DUers also have the right to do so.

So, to those posters telling us to shut up....
