Furious tfg Says Taking Home Classified Documents Was Part Of 'Routine' Process

The former guy said he didn't have time to steal records; he was too busy making America perfect.😂😂😂


Trump claimed National Archives officials didn’t “find” anything, because he turned over the documents he had at home — but only after they were demanded by officials.

Among the records were historically important documents, including what Trump has described as “love letters” from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, and a letter from former President Barack Obama left for Trump when he took over the Oval Office.

sick and tired of all the GQP bullshit, lies, stealing and cheating, and breaking laws/rules. No one should be above the law.

Senate representatives (republicans), who claim to represent the U.S. and its interests, but ignore anything tRump did.

tRump doing something like this, it leaves a very sour taste in my mouth.

You're absolutely right in that I'm sure someone has already previewed the documentation, took pics, etc.

Some of them probably have helped Putin themselves.

He probably got the value of each document deducted from his debt to the Russian mob.

10. It seems fairly routine that other people who make off with top secret documents go to jail.

How often does a White House turn over documents to the National Archives? Once a week? Once a month? Once a quarter?

Or when they leave office?

Seems like a great flaw in the system somewhere?

…that they’re supposed to send them over on a regular basis. A presidency generates a lot of paper, and if they didn’t send it up every couple of weeks or so eventually the president and his or her spouse would be sleeping on banker’s boxes because there wouldn’t be room in the building for furniture.
