When everything goes public, it will be a whale of a story.

Made their way into Saudi Arabia and MBS's pockets via Jared. Throughout the entire four years.

What the Orange One thought he would do with them now is anybody's guess.

All of these revelations are bone-chilling in light of his total disregard for national security or the best interests of this country.

We need to legally rid ourselves of this blight on democracy.

To hell with precedent. That's how Trump operates and how Merrick Garland should as well. If unpunished he'll only grow more brazen and it's not hyperbolic to suggest that we would never recover.

and he is still a threat to our democracy. The police will turn up en-mass to handcuff a Georgia mother who let her 14-year-old daughter babysit her other children, but when it comes to Trump, not as much as calling him in for questioning.

I'll guarantee you it wasn't Chump.

Someone in the White House typed, recorded, keyboarded or hand-wrote every one of those sheets of paper because HE didn't. The WH employees who produced the documents should have been responsible for seeing that the original or a facsimile was filed for the National Archives.

It was a given that Chump would take no responsibility for doing that himself.

The documents that Chump stole, tore up, or flushed should have been copies, not the originals.

Just sayin'

10. Significant damage

The definition of Top Secret is that it is likely to cause significant damage to the US if it is made public. Now, I'll be the first to acknowledge that this classification is way overused. That being said, of all his acts that could be "excused" by a court as merely careless or senseless, flushing such things down a toilet is basically proof of intent to destroy a document to avoid its contents from becoming known. That is basically the proof of the crime that the National Archives is suggesting.

It's time for the DOJ to act. This is solid proof of a crime that can't really be explained any other way.

He probably made up and repeated that big lie because he was frustrated by all the documents clogging his toilet requiring repeated flushes and plunging.
