A few things to unpack here..
Ok, so your #1 bullet point makes sense and pretty much explains the big differentiator between Trump’s situation and Biden’s. To be clear, I am correct in saying that a sitting prez can declassify whatever he wants, right? And that the whole case against Trump was bogus to begin with because of this, right?
On your #2 point…I don’t doubt this, I suppose it makes sense.. but legally, wouldn’t they have to prove that specific intent to be able make it stick? You think they have enough to prove that?
On your #3 point, why is Biden a threat to Ukrainian money laundering? I mean, he’s neck deep in it himself anyhow.
As for McCarthy, my understanding is that the freedom/MAGA caucus has the clout/power to boot him at any time and that he gave meaningful concessions in order to get their support…
And if VP Biden did some horrible thing like raping chi- I mean taking a few secret documents home, well then president Biden can either retroactively declassified the documents or pardon himself.
That only applies if the docs were taken when he was president. Apparently he was sneaking classified docs as VP, not as president. Which, I believe, makes it an actual crime.
Yes, the President can view anything classified he wants. Bush Sr., even after his term, routinely perused classified documents. If we held all president's to the Bush standard, this is all a nothingburger.
Yes, the President can declassify anything he wants. Trump should have, but chose not to.
Either way, I couldn't tell you if he actually had classified material, or not. It's tough to trust the news. Trump is seemingly taking orders to stop being a loudmouth. Personally, I think we need a loudmouth who will spill all the beans.
We have pictures of Hunter Biden in the corvette with his niece and Claudia Buccini. He definitely had access. I bet the classified docs have something to do with natural gas and other energy data and were provided to the chinese. The money trail would prove the intent.
We already have Chinese versions of this data, in Hunters emails, which means they had to get it from the US, first.
If Bidens corruption is laid bate, they will have to shut down money laundering. The standard MO of corrupt politicians, when faced with a situation like this, is to run a 'limited hangout' where only some of the corruption is revealed, keeping the party funding intact, but giving Joe a black eye, so to speak.
I'll believe McCarthy was a good choice if politicians start landing in jail. Until then, he's just another RINO faggot.
I’m not even saying that McCarthy was a good choice. I don’t like his bitchass any more than you do.
What I’m saying is that the way I currently understand it, the MAGA caucus has him by the balls and actually has real leverage over his speakership..so if he doesn’t do what he’s supposed to, they can get rid of his ass.
But yes, I guess we’ll see.
