  1. Trump has publicly declared he is okay with unsealing the documents. The court should accept that public commentary as his choice and unseal it all.

    1. @AJ Martin study up my guy.

      Article II section 2 of the Constitution states that the Presidents “shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint … Judges of the Supreme Court…” U.S. Const. art. 2 § 2, cl. 2.

    2. @Joshua Garcia could say the exact same to you. Word for word. But actually mean it. Remember you tagged me crying. Now it’s deflection and using that same scapegoat. Pretending your better with absolutely zero evidence. And claim you don’t do this or that because you’re in control of your ego… yet who’s the one that tagged who? To argue… right. Sorry I don’t live in your pretend safe space. I speak reality.

    1. @Pker fire Nope, Trump was just served a warrent for espionage… that’s going to done real quick 😀

  2. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results…… 😂😂

    1. @Trial by Wombat As I stated in my last comment, you can’t back up your claim with actual facts. What you’ve posted in this thread doesn’t prove your claim. That’s on you.

    2. @moonequalscheese they do hence the FBI being at his home about a month ago securing it for that very reason.

  3. “…Or were these materials he wanted to use for other—perhaps commercial—purposes.” The art of the understatement.

    1. @JDog There’s nothing secret about literally sealed top-secret items that a select handful of people in this country are even able to look at??? You really think we don’t have military secrets? This is a brand new take, I’m excited to hear more

    2. @Mazzeratti Mike I parted ways with the DNC in 2000 when they permitted Donald John Trump senior to run as a Democratic candidate.

  4. Put a sticky-fingered airhead in the top office of a world power, and set back your nation’s security and prominence in the world by decades. It has been said that a people gets the leader that they deserve. This should be cause for deep national introspection.

    1. @Pamela Wing I remember, yes.
      But all who opposed the orange fruitcake were slapped down for speaking out. “You MUST support the party leader”.

    1. It is definitely not easy to speak in front of a camera, especially if you are not used to it. You have to be very careful with the correct usage of words, tempo, etc.

    2. I’ve been in that situation before. She knew what she wanted to say, but an existing anxiety blossomed into another anxiety when she knew she was screwing up. The anxiety compounds in a heartbeat, and as someone who experienced the exact same scenario, my heart goes out to her. It’s an embarrassing feeling knowing full well in mid-sentence that you’re about to shut down in public.

  5. They should have arrested and charged him when they retrieved the first 15 boxes. He was guilty then. That would have allowed them to rip that place apart to look for more. If anyone else had taken those same records, we would be in prison for life. Trump did it and they just went and took them back. Why did Trump want them in the first place?

  6. Another huge mistake of the stable genius was assuming there was no possibility his private residence would be searched.

    1. @Sue Howie you like pretending to know politics also? Lets find out, if you don’t then you won’t be marked.

  7. So there are only a few possibilities for WHY he would have these documents. 1.) To cover up wrong doing of some kind related to these documents. 2.) For some kind of profit, like power, money, bargaining chips 3.) Or they may have contained material he could use against political rivals. OR he is BAT SH*T crazy and thought he would take over the world!?! 😵‍💫

    1. Perhaps he has used his Sharpie on his and wants to make us all laugh…. like the US map with Alabama included in the hurricane zone…

  8. “I want to release the documents, but first I need to release my tax returns, which are still under audit. Nobody has had so many audits, it’s very unfair.”

    1. @Frosty Cools Pelosi has been in congress for over 30 years.. and here you are convinced Trump was the corrupt one 😂
      Come on dude..

  9. We “all” watched those boxes being loaded when he vacated the WH….Why say ” We just learned of the 15 boxes”?

    1. People take boxes of stuff when they move but most of us didn’t imagine Trump was taking top secret classified documents.

    2. actually it is 12 more boxes that they have been talking about him handing over but he hasn’t which is why the f b I went in to get them. the other 15 were returned a few months back

  10. If the FBI can Raid the ex-President’s home for stolen Nuclear Documents. They can Raid your home if you steal Nuclear Documents. 🤣

  11. I was just about to say, “Please don’t say witch hunt,” and she said it but quietly. There’s a first for everything, is there not? Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.

    1. Presidents ALWAYS do. Trump is no exception.
      They often work from their own private offices, and therefore some state material remains there after they leave office

  12. What is one of the first things a defense lawyer will do when faced with anyone who has vital information that can result in the summary conviction of their client? If you can’t discredit the evidence, discredit the witness by any means possible, either through facts, relevant or otherwise, or innuendoes . . . That is exactly what Trump and the Republican party are attempting to do

  13. Sara Sidner just made my day with the “Watch The Throne” homage: “…he could have gone HAM…”!!! Love it!!

  14. I’ve been to a hypnotist show where my friend was up on stage. At the intermission we tried our best to convince him he was under and part of the show. Couldn’t do it. The Trump haters in these comments made me think of him.
