DONALD TRUMP SAID he “absolutely” plans to testify in the federal government’s case against him regarding classified documents he removed from the White House. “I’m allowed to do whatever I want … I’m allowed to do everything I did,” the former president told conservative podcast host Hugh Hewitt.
In an interview on “The Hugh Hewitt Show” that dropped Wednesday, the host asked Trump, “Did you direct anyone to move the boxes, Mr. President? Did you tell anyone to move the boxes?” referring to the boxes of more than 300 classified documents the federal government seized last year from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
“I don’t talk about anything. You know why? Because I’m allowed to do whatever I want. I come under the Presidential Records Act,” Trump replied, while also taking a quick detour to bash Hewitt. “I’m not telling you. You know, every time I talk to you, ‘Oh, I have a breaking story.’ You don’t have any story. I come under the Presidential Records Act. I’m allowed to do everything I did.”
It would open a whole can of worms and then you’ve got to put all of them in jail
Not really, just the one that doesn’t know when to stop or moderate. Nixon could have been imprisoned, but knew when to bind in and tap out. Only your Orange idol is as thick that he thinks he’s forever above the law.
Nixon was pardoned. Once Trump wins he can pardon himself. Easy peezy
If
All of who? All the ex-presidents?
But you wouldn’t have to do that would you, because none of them have been convicted of a crime. Probably because they’re too smart to get caught on like some people.
The fact that Trump is the world’s biggest idiot is a big reason why he’s the first President ever put on trial. But that’s on him.
