This is basically a nothing burger, but it’s something. Trumpty Dumpty got on Truth Social in the past hour and he just decided to jump on a plane and work at his D.C. golf course for $hits and giggles. We guess.
He’s “working.” Okay. Just like he used to “work” when he was in the White House.
Here’s what else we know this Monday morning.
In a 21-page motion filed Monday morning attorneys for Donald Trump say they oppose the U.S. Dept. of Justice’s request a federal judge lift her stay to allow them to continue to review just the 100 or so classified and top secret documents it seized during the execution of a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago.
Rather than acknowledge the documents are the property of the U.S. Government, Trump’s attorneys falsely tell a federal district judge Trump appointed that it’s merely an issue of “storage” of items that belong to the former president.
In what at its core is a document storage dispute that has spiraled out of control, the Government wrongfully seeks to criminalize the possession by the 45th President of his own Presidential and personal records,” the motion reads. It puts the words “classified records” in scare quotes, suggesting it is sticking with Trump’s previous claim he declassified all the documents, which too is reportedly false.
“Critically, the former President has sole discretion to classify a record as personal or Presidential,” the motion claims, which as Politico’s Kyle Cheney notes, “is just outright ‘false’ when you stick the word ‘former’ in it,” as former presidents have no legal authority to declassify anything.
The Washington Post adds Trump’s actor news are “suggesting that some of the documents in question may not be classified and that Trump may have the right to keep them in his possession.”
Monday, Monday. Can’t trust that day. I’m sure this is the tip of the iceberg. More will be revealed.
Thanks for the chuckle. I LOL’d when I read the headline. TFG, working, that’s rich! On another note, I think even if the items were declassified, they are still not his property. Of course, we all know that he didn’t use official procedure to declassify.
Nothing he took was his to take. Look for legal smoke and mirrors going forward.
The entire filing is smoke and mirrors. He’s confessing to several crimes, including obstruction, in it, if the judge even bothers to read past the heading.
And this judge is too inexperienced and dumb to realize it.
Beadecked, you can’ scan a leadlined coffin. You can dig one up, though, and I’m hoping that’s what happens ultiately.
And perhaps Virginia is a “friendlier” location than NJ or NY? (What with M-a-L being closed and no one available to serve him the diet cokes – and give advice.) 🤔
That’s my take on it. What “work” can better be accomplished in VA?
The sheriff in Loudoun County loves him.
I want to know what docs he took to Bedminster. I want someone to scan Ivana’s casket. There’s more missing and 45 knows it.
I am sure you’re right. If we could search Bedminster, that would be a start.
That’s his cover story, but no way he abused his golf cleats on an airport tarmac for a planned visit to another of his courses…
SOMETHING scared the shit out of him. The Special Master thing is neither the beginning nor end of his problems. Personally, I wonder if this has anything to do with the collapse of the Russian army, which, in turn, is suddenly making his boss Vlad a very endangered leader.
If it walks like a pig. Snorts like a pig. Wallows in the dirt like a pig. Well…what we have here is a nazi swine. Too bad Aldo the Apache,(Brad pitt), isn’t around to carve a swastika in his goddamn forehead. And all the congressional nazis. And former nazi cabinet members. And all the fake electors. And…and…and…and. I volunteer to help hold them down.
Careful there. Don’t go giving Devin Nunes dirty thoughts about Trump being a pig. If like me you’re familiar with (in my case I’m a huge fan) then you know the liberal satire/humor blogger ShowerCap long ago pegged (read on – pun intended which will become clear) Devin Nunes with the moniker “Pig Fucker. One glorious Friday night he even included re-written lyrics to the theme song of The Last American hero that really drove the point home. (again, pun intended) Bottom line, if Nunes goes thinking Trump is a pig he’ll try to fuck him!
Former guy pretending to do something work-like and lying his ass off. Must be a day ending in “y”.
