An audio recording in which Donald Trump appears to acknowledge keeping a classified document after leaving the White House has been obtained by US media.
In the recording, the former president is heard riffling through papers and saying: “This is highly confidential.”
My favorite part of the audio is when he calls for someone to bring them all some cokes. I forgot that he drinks like a dozen a day and it was very weird hearing him call for soda while he commits a felony.
this is old news. He’s admitted several times in interviews to doing the same. He can’t stop incriminating himself.
well, hearing the actual tape was pretty mind blowing. It is not even a little bit open for interpretation. but I agree with the sentiment of @watson387@sopuli.xyz he mentions above. I simply don’t understand how people can see this as politically motivated.
They keep pointing to Hillary but apparently where unable to bring a case, so quit your whining.
This is the problem though. Even though he’s caught dead-to-rights with tape of his actual voice admitting that he knew it was illegal, these assholes still think he did nothing wrong and call it all politically motivated. It’s sad what Trump’s dipshittery is doing/has done to this country.
EDIT: grammarThis is so obviously a blatant attempt to take Mr Trump out of the presidential running. And it is a sad day for our nation, considering that others, including Mr Biden, have been caught with classified documents in their possession.
The false equivalency has really taken root. There’s zero in common between the two cases, and yet it’s such a convenient excuse for right-wingers to fall back on when they’re challenged on their support for Trump.
Exactly. Mike Pence and at least one other also, except that theirs was accidental and they are fully cooperating with the investigations. It doesn’t seem to matter how much or how blatantly Trump does illegal shit, he’ll always be right in their eyes. I guess that’s what happens when the only information sources you believe are also the largest purveyors of untruths on our planet.
I haven’t been following that closlsy, but holy shit they have him dead to rights.
He should be strung up from his heels in times square, like how Mussolini wasi
I wish I wasn’t as cynical. These people get away with anything.
they have him dead to rights.
The judge presiding over the case is Aileen Cannon, who has previously ruled in Trump’s favour on this case by putting an injunction on the investigation. Her ruling was baseless and the appeals court ripped her to shreds over it.
She could throw out the case or sentence Trump to probation (even if the “suggested” sentence is 15 years) or do all kinds of things that an appeals court could do little about. For an appeals court to overturn a ruling they have to find a procedural or legal error. A judge can do a lot of questionable stuff without making any legal errors.
