Pellucidly (thanks Malaise) 100% absolutely positively RIDICULOUS that trump

[Laura PourMeADrink]

Is refusing to tell SM/Court which documents he *supposedly* declassified. Highest level of absurdity he has reached IMHO.

[bucolic_frolic]

1. Well yes, but to TDFG declassification must seem like blessing Holy Water

I mean to say it goes with Divine Right of Kings

[Laura PourMeADrink]

3. Ha. Insane! Makes me realize he probably had staff

work on a list of what isn't illegal but a 250 year tradition or not spelled out specifically.

We need a new law - trump law - that covers every single squirrelly thing he's done.

[Kingofalldems]

7. Oh now I see what's going on.

[Warpy]

9. I don't care if it was a pink tutu and a magic wand

Unless he can point to a paper trail that says he followed the procedure, they're still classified and he's what we always knew he was, a fucking conman and cheap crook.

[malaise]

2. LOL

The Slobfather is stark raving mad and seriously believes he is above all laws.

[wnylib]

8. Well, he is apparently refusing to say

what he declassified because he did not declassify anything.

If at this point, he claims that he did but it can be established that he did not, then he is guilty of perjury.

But, if he uses it as a defense at a trial if he is indicted, then it would be either a failed or a successful defence case but not perjury.

[ShazzieB]

11. If he wants to use his claim of declassifying the documents as a defense...

Wouldn't he have to prove that he declassified them?

Not to mention, that's absolutely no defense for having documents in his possession that don't belong to him. Whether those documents are declassified or not, they are the property of the USA, not DJT, and they belong in the National Archives, not in a desk drawer at some Florida beach club!

[wnylib]

14. Agree with everything you said.

He might hope that, claiming that they were declassified lessens any charges. Much less serious to have declassified documents at his home than classified ones.

But, it looks like his idea is that, once he declassified them, they became "general" documents that he was entitled to take with him. That interpretation of his intent about the declassified documents claim is not mine. I got it from the Midas Touch.

It's just the usual Trump obfuscation, delay, and gaslighting.

I believe that a complete investigation will turn up solid evidence that Trump gave highly classified documents to nations like Russia and Saudi Arabia.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

15. He will wrap it all up in some kind of Presidential Powers

Defense... Which will take ages and end up in his SC.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. Elucidate? Imagine you knew 50%?

[malaise]

21. The lunatic answers to no one

In his mind, he is omnipotent - if he says he declassified documents, that’s it.
He answers to no lesser mortals, no judge, no one.
And that is the behavior of a fucking lunatic aka the Slobfather.
QED.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

22. So what you are telling me is that we have no minds

who can stop his racing freight train to oblivion!

Too late

[malaise]

24. Not at all

Merrick Garland is going to stop him and so will the folks in Georgia. Watch New York tomorrow although that is civil.
He’s about to see the freight train splatter all his crazy delusions, illusions, and in plain English, undiluted fuckery) to smithereens😀😀

[Laura PourMeADrink]

25. I'm gonna just believe you! And one day we will

celebrate!

[Eliot Rosewater]

4. Justice system is broken, if this judge is allowed to continue to do what she is doing

there is no justice system.

The 11th Circuit and this judge need to be CONCERNED about what patriots will have to do if justice is completely destroyed.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. Dismal. Do you see any hope?

[Eliot Rosewater]

26. Not really.

I think it’s still unlikely Trump will be indicted, I think if he is indicted it will take forever to seat a jury, I think if they do get a jury there’s no way they can get one that doesn’t have a Trumper on it, I think Judge after judge will interfere to try and protect him and the ultimate decision will be the Supreme Court and they will overturn any conviction.

[Kid Berwyn]

5. Only a Really Super Special Special Master can see it.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. Love that!

[Mr. Ected]

6. Trump knows he has no viable legal defense

So instead, he's cheating. Forcing a compromised local judge to intervene in another court's matter, slowing down the process, sabotaging the process, undermining justice with the smug arrogance of an elitist. He is morally contemptible but he's fighting a very different battle than his maga army. They think he's owning the libs. He thinks he's owning us all.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

19. YOU posted the most brilliant response. Would love to know

what you REALLY think, no censorship or political cleanup...DM if you have to.

[Shipwack]

10. Well, I don't know about "highest" level reached...

I'm pretty sure it's like the depths of depravity; as soon as you think that the Republicans have reached the the theoretical limit, they turn around and surprise ya.

[Evolve Dammit]

12. Always obfuscation and shell games. Roy Cohn taught the Orange One well.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

23. But how do you stop it,?

[Evolve Dammit]

28. You aren't going to stop a 70 year old from what he'r done his entire life. It defines him.

[NoMoreRepugs]

13. It's a double secret my eyes only I know u are but what am I finders keepers list.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. Ok . Love you.. but reread that

[spanone]

27. It's simply because he lied about declassifying them.
