Liar, Liar, pants on Fire. Here is Trump talking about classified information in 2016 and again in 2020
,
and now, trying to save his ass by saying that these are "his" presidential records that he has a right to keep.
Here is the Presidential Acts statute
Under the Presidential Records Act, all official material remains government property and has to be provided to the archives at the end of a president's term.
The Presidential Records Act does not even address the fact that these documents were classified. It simply states that the President must return ALL official government property. The Documents that Trump had did not belong to him. These were not documents that he created for himself (unlike Clinton whose videos were made by himself for himself). They were reports done by different agencies of the U.S. and that were given to him to read and act on "while he was president". After his presidential run was over, by law he had to return those documents to the government.
As such and knowing full well that the documents were classified and could fall into the hands of our enemies, makes him keeping the documents against the law but also puts him in the category of endangering the country by his actions (the espionage act). Here is the definition of the Espionage Act:
The Espionage Act of 1917 prohibited obtaining information, recording pictures, or copying descriptions of any information relating to the national defense with intent or reason to believe that the information may be used for the injury of the United States or to the advantage of any foreign nation.
Trump had those documents for 18 months after he ceased being president. He was asked to return them and he lied and kept them. In addition, he did not keep them in a safe manner so that others who visited his home could not get their hands on them.
and now, we are seeing a person trying to lie, con, scam, and portray as truth the idea that he did not do this and is not guilty of it. He is doing this even with the fact that what he is doing is trying to help himself at the irreparable cost to the nation.
My gawd, how can any American approve of this man's actions. A liar, liar, pants on fire person.
