Just a little FYI regarding the FBI raid

It is important to remember, the presidential records act –the presented pretext for the document conflict– is not a criminal statute. An FBI raid cannot be predicated on a document conflict between the National Archives and a former president.

I don't know what your definition of "criminal statute" is, but the Presidential Records Act assigns ownership of presidential records, and via that definition, invokes other existing laws, violations of which are felonies.

It's like saying a speeding ticket is a civil fine. Sure, but failure to pay invokes criminal penalties.

but all that is moot. The Mar a Lago search warrant mentions potential violations of the Espionage Act. Even you would be forced to agree the Espionage Act is a criminal statute.

@ElwoodBlues There are far better lawyers than you that completely disagree with you not to mention how Obama has 30,000,000 pages of documents many of which are classified and he has never been raided. Ditto Clinton and Bush and ..... When you get a clue get back to us. Right now you just sound extremely foolish.
@hippyjoe1955 Notice how Trump isn't denying his crimes? Notice how Trump's only weak little defense is "other guys did it too"?

But Trump is fooling you, as usual.

[quote] The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) debunked Trump’s claims in a statement on Aug. 12, writing that it “assumed exclusive legal and physical custody” of Obama’s presidential records when he left office in 2017, in accordance with the Presidential Records Act (PRA).

“NARA moved approximately 30 million pages of unclassified records to a NARA facility in the Chicago area where they are maintained exclusively by NARA. Additionally, NARA maintains the classified Obama Presidential records in a NARA facility in the Washington, DC, area,” the statement reads. “As required by the PRA, former President Obama has no control over where and how NARA stores the Presidential records of his Administration.”

@ElwoodBlues There are no crimes to deny. Not sure where you are getting your disinformation from but it is still wrong. There is no crime except the crimes committed by the FBI and the DOJ and the compromised magistrate judge.
@hippyjoe1955 [quote]There are no crimes to deny[/quote]
Except for illegal possession of Top Secret government documents.
Except for illegal possession of Sensitive Compartmented Information documents.
He's admitting those crimes.

Except for violations of the Espionage Act and the Presidential Records Act, which follow directly from the first two items.

But "other guys did it too" [big]ROTFL!!![/big]

@ElwoodBlues The president declassified all those documents when he had the authority to do so. No bureaucrat can then go back and reclassify them. You truly are clueless. Sadly your cluelessness is dangerous to society as a whole. You just aren't smart enough to figure it out yet. I doubt that you ever will. Even as the CDC backs away from its vax nonsense I bet you are still a huge fan of them. After all government control is good in your petty little mind. Neil Oliver had a brilliant pont to make yesterday. He said that when you realize the government is out to destroy you all the pieces of the puzzle fit together perfectly. Useful idiots like you will never grasp the foundational truth but that is entirely your problem.
@hippyjoe1955 [quote]The president declassified all those documents[/quote]
Except he's never said so. Except he never filed the appropriate paperwork.

And if you think a president and declassify and neglect to inform anyone, then it's just as easy for the NEXT president to re-classify and neglect to inform anyone, [b]LOL!!![/b]

You truly are clueless. Luckily your cluelessness is dangerous only to small parts of Canadian society. The people making the biggest efforts to silence me and destroy me are right-winger morons like your clueless self, [big]ROTFL!!![/big]

@ElwoodBlues So says the guy who has been on the wrong side of history on every debate. Too Funny If you had a clue it would be very lonely. Your understanding of what is going on shows how successful the operators are in brainwashing useful idiots like you. And when the floor falls out from under your feet as just happened with the CDC and the vaxes..... You STILL cling to being on the wrong side. WOW!
@hippyjoe1955 So you're saying Trump LIED to you about Operation Warp Speed and his marvelous vaccines?? [b]LOL!!![/b]

@hippyjoe1955 So it's like this? Perhaps you can fill in the blank.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@ElwoodBlues And yet the CDC now says that the vax is useless. Hmmm. So there goes your reason for being. Sucks to be you.
@hippyjoe1955 Do they now? Got a link?
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@ElwoodBlues You can't find the CDC's website? wow.....
@hippyjoe1955 Of COURSE you don't have a link!
[big][b]ROTFL!!![/b][/big]
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@ElwoodBlues I can't be more specific than to say the CDC website. That you can't find it is always good for a good belly laugh. You truly are deluded.
@hippyjoe1955 The CDC website has [i]thousands[/i] of pages. Of COURSE you don't have a link!
[big][b]ROTFL!!![/b][/big]
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@ElwoodBlues And you can't read it. Hmmm. Maybe Google can help. You truly are feeble. And the butt of all kinds of jokes.
@hippyjoe1955 So you're saying Trump LIED to you about Operation Warp Speed and his marvelous vaccines?? LOL!!!
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@ElwoodBlues So you continue to prove you have the comprehension skills of a granite slab.
@hippyjoe1955 LOL!!! You can't explain away how Trump lied to you, so instead you toss insults, [b]ROTFL!!![/b]
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@ElwoodBlues Go back and find the part where I ever quoted Trump. Please and thank you.
@hippyjoe1955 [quote]Obama has 30,000,000 pages of documents[/quote]
You said it up top, and it's FALSE!!!
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@ElwoodBlues Lots of people said the same thing. Ex presidents having such documents is common. Every president has taken documents home with them since they started keeping records. Not sure why you are shocked at that. Those are not Trump's words. Do try to keep up.
@hippyjoe1955 [quote]Ex presidents having such documents is common.[/quote] DEAD WRONG!!! Read up on presidential libraries and who owns and controls the documents there - you'll sound less idiotic, [b]LOL!!![/b]
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@ElwoodBlues It is absolutely true. The president retains his security clearance as well. Obama took 30,000,000 pages of documents and said he was going to digitize them. No one has seen the documents since. Bush took a bunch of documents as well as did Clinton and Carter etc. Nothing unusual or unexpected in the president doing so. Not sure why you want to deny it. Maybe your conspiracy theory is running out of gas?
