I was wondering when the 60 day policy was going to come up. They probably won't be ready by 9/10 so they wait until the day after the election. 

So what, the 60 day policy applies to people who aren't even running in the fucking election?

When one considers that lower level subordinates have been jailed for inadvertently mishandling top secret documents, it would be politically untenable not to hold Trump accountable for his crimes.

I'm not sure many have been jailed for "inadvertently" mishandling documents.  All of the cases I have noted have been pretty intentional.

That's also fine because that's exactly what Trump did.

That's a fair point.  If they could "convict" him before the election that might be good. But yeah just an indictment, it can wait and make all the GQPrs screeching about overreach look like fools, after he's convicted later.  

Hahahahaha who am I kidding?

I doubt he was trying to sell them. He knows that's a big boy crime with big boy real prison punishments. He's was too big of a pussy for that.

Under an assumed name back in 2019 on this site, I predicted he would become gravely ill between the 2020 RNC convention and the general election.  But this was before Covid-19.  I thought he'd get sick from heart disease and either step down "for health reasons" if he saw the tea leaves weren't in his favor, or actually die.  Sure enough in October 2020 he became gravely ill.  But from fucking coronavirus and easily lived.  Of then went on to try and rig an election, cause a seditious uprising, and then steal state secrets to sell to our enemies.  But I really liked my first idea better.  

Can't we get a fucking "Former Presidents" banquet and have Jimmy Carter pull a Hector Salamanca-Gustavo Fring dual-takeout since he knows he's going out anyway?

I'm surprised that DOJ accepted this Certification as an indication of compliance with the Subpoena.  It has all sorts of indicators of unreliability.

• "I have been designated to serve as Custodian of Records" rather then "I am Custodian of Records".  (Who made the designation?  When?)
• "Based upon information that has been provided to me . . . "  (What information?  Who provided it?  When?)
• The information is true "to the best of my knowledge."  (What is the knowledge and how was it acquired?)

This is hardly a document that can be used as a basis for perjury.  It would not be considered as competent evidence in a civil case. 

But did they?  The fact they got a search warrant and went back to get the rest is kinda proof they did not accept it as indication of compliance with the subpoena.

A lifetime of working in the gray areas, where there's always lackeys to take the fall when things go sideways. Selling documents only he had access too is way too high risk and ballsy for a coward like him. Trump sucks at almost all things.

You're right.

Say, any idea how Jared got $2 billion?

 

Quote

Six months after leaving the White House, Jared Kushner secured a $2 billion investment from a fund led by the Saudi crown prince, a close ally during the Trump administration, despite objections from the fund’s advisers about the merits of the deal.

A panel that screens investments for the main Saudi sovereign wealth fund cited concerns about the proposed deal with Mr. Kushner’s newly formed private equity firm, Affinity Partners, previously undisclosed documents show.

 

Quote

Those objections included: “the inexperience of the Affinity Fund management”; the possibility that the kingdom would be responsible for “the bulk of the investment and risk”; due diligence on the fledgling firm’s operations that found them “unsatisfactory in all aspects”; a proposed asset management fee that “seems excessive”; and “public relations risks” from Mr. Kushner’s prior role as a senior adviser to his father-in-law, former President Donald J. Trump, according to minutes of the panel’s meeting last June 30.

But days later the full board of the $620 billion Public Investment Fund — led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler and a beneficiary of Mr. Kushner’s support when he worked as a White House adviser — overruled the panel.

Showing them off to feed his ego, blackmailing, and offering to avoid jail are all too dangerous because you're letting someone else know you are yourself engaged in a very grave crime. You have to show the things to somebody in all of those cases. 

Selling them to foreign agent or turning them over to Putin because Trump was being blackmailed is a closed transaction. 

Writing this makes me think of something else. There was originally talk of nuclear secrets. We don't have any word that such documents were found. Trump and his boys are now making a thing of that. 

But...

I wonder if Trump doesn't have them because they've already been sold and handed over. Once a transaction is complete, holding onto a copy only serves to possibly incriminate you. Trump doesn't hold onto to things that can hurt him. If there are nuclear documents missing that may have been taken by Trump, I think the conclusion is obvious.

That's an example of the damned hyperbole that the anti-Trump press and pundits always seem to go for, without any basis in fact, that winds up undermining legitimate investigations and feeds talking points to the pro-Trump morons.

We are probably never going to know exactly what the documents covered.

Sure I do.  But (assumption here) secrets were traded in order to get Kush some money (and remember, Kush was in bad shape financially  prior to his White House gig), do you really think that Trump himself wouldn't want a piece of that?  He's gonna charge his finders fee.

I'm not sure where Trump would draw the line for "obvious crime."  I think at a minimum Trump took top secret documents from the White House, resisted returning them, lied about returning them, and hid their existence from the FBI.  I don't feel like there is much question about those actions.  If those crimes weren't obvious from the outset, they would have been after the FBI and his lawyers explained it to him.  And yet he persisted.

We will know exactly what the documents covered, as soon as Trump declassifies them.

You're giving him too much credit. He's too stupid/arrogant to realize how dangerous that is. And he truly doesn't (or didn't then) believe that keeping his documents from his time as President is a crime...at least not one with jail time penalties. They're his precious. But even he knows that selling them is a send your ass to Federal prison crime. And, again, he's a pussy.

Sorry, not buying the evil spy angle. He's just a fucking moron.

Well he just "happened" to leave all these highly classified documents in an unsecured drawer at his crappy beach resort, which we already know had foreign spies visiting.

It's not a far stretch to make an assumption Trump left the door open for foreign access to these documents.

Really. The only things he understands are greed and his own ego. And he’s spent an entire lifetime committing crimes and getting away with them. And I doubt he knows how to read a coloring book, never mind State secrets. He took the papers with intent to sell them. I’m just not certain if it’s been proven that he did in fact sell them.
