Trump's Retribution Tour rolls on. His former National Security Advisor plans to plead guilty to mishandling government documents. Of course, Trump did the same thing and more, so the irony is rich.
announcing the fine amount and the maximum amount of prison time suggests that he may get much less, if any, time behind bars. Given his age, it may be home detention. Trump did not do the same thing. He was President. Bolton was a lackey.
Correction: trump was the ex-president. He had no more right to keep classified documents at his residence than did Bolton. Also trump allegedly lied to the FBI and allegedly obstructed justice.
which any president can unilaterally do at will, notwithstanding the existence of a "procedure." People like Biden and Bolton did not have presidential authority to do anything with classified docs on their own.
Yeah well trump tells a lot of lies. He didn't declassify anything. He just took documents and stored them in an insecure way at his beach club. If what you say is true, why did he lie to the FBI and why did he try to obstruct justice?
And if you believe that you'll let him off for anything.
Don't forget that trump did not declassify all the documents in his possession when out of office even though he said that he did. And, trump admitted on a recording that he had some documents that weren't declassified and since he wasn't prez anymore he couldn't declassify them.

the case was so weak it was dismissed. Bolton was charged and cut a deal to plead a guilty. Biden was charged but it was determined by the DOJ that he was too senile to stand trial. Otherwise, he would be in the same position as Bolton. That's all you need to know about the difference.
The judge was bought and paid for.
No. The documents case was likely the strongest case that trump had going against him at the time. Very black and white. Open and shut. I'm sure you know that trump lied 3 times that he returned all the documents, but kept holding on to some, hence the lawful executed search warrant on his home in Florida. We wouldn't even be talking about this if trump simply gave back the documents when first asked by NARA.
Aileen Cannon is in trump's pocket. She waited however many months it was to out of nowhere declare that Jack Smith was unlawfully appointed. In the end the case did not proceed because, luckily for him, trump was elected President. A Prez can't be criminally charged or indicted, etc. Too bad.
come forward and said they refused to participate in the raid because they didn't believe it was lawful. They're insiders and probably know more about it than you or me.
Please show us your source for saying "A shit-load of FBI agents" have said "they refused to participate in the raid."
Pardon our skepticism but you do have a history here.
...pulled out of his ass and flung onto TER.
No links = bullshit
TER should pin the following warning on all of COEUR-DE-CHAPON'S posts:
because you don't watch Fox News. There was even one female agent who quit her job rather than engage in the illegal raid by the Biden justice department. Go to their archive (not sure if there is a paywall or membership required) and you can search for these kinds of interviews. As you might expect, the other cable outlets don't do interviews that were negative to the Biden administration. That's why so many Dumocrats, including several here, were caught flat-footed on how bad Biden was on the debate. They had a steady diet of Lib KoolAid and never ventured outside the fake news bubble.
...can search for these kinds of interviews."
If what you posted is FACT, instead of telling US to go to the Fox News Archive, why didn't YOU simply post the links to the interviews of agents who quit their jobs "rather than engage in the illegal raid by the Biden justice department?"
I'll tell you why - because you're a fucking liar. You did NOT go to the Fox News archive. How do I know? Because you were stupid enough to post that you don't know "if there is a paywall or membership required." Had you gone to the Fox News archive, you would know "if there is a paywall or membership required."
The only archive you went to to find out that "one female agent who quit her job rather than engage in the illegal raid by the Biden justice department" is the shit archive in your ass. ROFLMAO!! What a fucking moron you are!! And your fellow righties are even dumber than you because they couldn't figure out that you were lying.
