to the courts as well. What's he saying? The courts are being fed fake news by the attorney general?

he doesn’t have a dog. He’s so awful no dog would ever love him.

Documents missing? Lies, lies, lies. The media better be as unmerciful with him as they were with Hillary and the emails.

once he gave them to whoever gave them to the Russians he didn't have them. Theoretically true cause he's the most honest man gaud ever created. He doesn't even cheat at golf or nothin'.

If these are corporate documents and the Trump organization signed off on them then he is as head of the corporation is legally liable for them for their content. Just like a tax document. Somebody else fills out the forms but once you sign it you are saying everything is correct. That is why I have my clients go over their returns and know exactly what is in them.

Would we get away with bullshit like this?

I don’t think so.

It’s a stall tactic and nothing more.

And does he realize the IRS has copies of all the tax documents? The state just has to compare the two sets of documents. It's easy for them to obtain what they need.

He is digging his own grave.

Moron.

Laws affecting documents are just not convenient and are therefore ignored
