Trump Indicted. Again.
Trump is indicted. Again. And, predictably, many prominent republicans come running to defend him from any hint of accountability. The party of law and order.
Don’t Take Work Home
It’s all about work/life balance, amiright?
C’mon, Joe
After all the fuss over Trump having classified government documents in his office, now we find that Biden had some in his private office, too, even when he was not in office.
Yes, it’s not the same, as the Biden team has voluntarily returned the documents to the National Archives when they found them, while Trump was holding documents long after their return was ordered.
But, c’mon, Joe, it’s not a good look.
Trump and His Documents
The Congressional Committee on January 6th voted unanimously to subpoena former President Trump to seek his testimony about the day of the Capitol Insurrection.
I’m sure Trump will fight the subpoena. The only sensible legal strategy is for Trump to exercise his rights under the 5th Amendment for every question. But sensible legal strategies are not a strong point for Trump.
On the plus side, he likes collecting government documents, so this gives him one more to take home with him.
Quantum Trumpism
While this isn’t a direct quote from Trump’s recent interview, let’s face it, it’s not too far off.
Standing Order
I’ve lost track, but I think this was excuse #3 from Trump and his team to explain the documents he said weren’t there, or were planted, or whatever.
Of course it’s a ridiculous statement and no way to manage classified information. That didn’t stop Trump’s team from trying to use it as a diversionary excuse.
But 18 former top Trump administration officials tell CNN they never heard any such order issued during their time working for Trump, and that they believe the claim to be patently false. Including two of Trump’s Chiefs of Staff, John Kelly and Mick Mulvaney.
Which is troubling. Cuz if they won’t let a former President get away with these lies, imagine what they can do to you.
