Trump Train Derailment
It's not the crime, but the cover up that will convict Trump. It wasn't the crime that brought Nixon down, it was the cover up.
Just love the defense on the Right with all the "Whataboutisms". What about Clinton? What about Biden?
According to those on the Right it is perfectly legal to hold on to classified documents that don't belong to you. Hypocrisy at its finest.
“If even half of it is true, he is toast,” Barr said. “I mean, it’s a very detailed indictment, and it’s very, very damning.”
“This idea of presenting Trump as a victim here or a victim of a witch hunt is ridiculous,” Barr said. “Yes, he’s been a victim in the past. His adversaries have obsessively pursued him with phony claims. And I’ve been at his side defending against them when he is a victim. But this is much different. He’s not a victim here. He was totally wrong that he had the right to have those documents. Those documents are among the most sensitive secrets that the country has. They have to be in the custody of the archivist. He had no right to maintain them and retain them.”
"In addition to being charged with mis-handling classified documents, Trump has been charged with several counts of obstruction of justice as well as making false statements to investigators."
A 37-count indictment which accuses Trump of forcing his own lawyers to make false statements.
“'I don’t want people looking through my boxes admitting that he knew that he had these boxes there and there was a subpoena in place.,'” quoting Trump from the indictment. “‘What happens if we just don’t respond or don’t play ball?"
"Wouldn’t it be better if we just told them we don’t have anything here?’ One of the things he’s accused of in this indictment is giving false statements and forcing other people, including legal members of his team, to give false statements.”
Trump took to Truth Social in a fury, attacking Barr as “weak” and “lazy,” and saying that the former AG is just mad he got fired and “deathly afraid of the Radical Left.”
"Virtually everyone is saying that the Indictment is about Election Interference & should not have been brought, except Bill Barr, a “disgruntled former employee” & lazy Attorney General who was weak & totally ineffective. He doesn’t mean what point. No one wants to acknowledge we are in this conversation, we're watching this narrative unfold because of what Donald Trump did. Read the indictment – I guarantee you, those Republicans that you've been focusing on from Lindsey Graham down. If they've read that and they were honest, they could not go on the air and say what they said.”
"He said, if they had read it, then they were deliberately ignoring what was in it."
Or they read it and they just want to continue with the political anti-Biden or anti-deep state narrative, because it feeds their base," he said. "They're fundraising off of this. They're rallying support around Trump, around this.
“I'd like to ask Jim Jordan, what did you think of Bill Barr's comment that Donald Trump was toast? Because the evidence in the indictment was so damning. “...if that guy is looking at this and going this is not good. how can you stand up and make the claim that you are making that this is all political?
“This is the bottom line. it's not all political.”
