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.”
That’s not how diplomatic immunity works. It’s to protect them in a foreign country while they’re there. So a diplomat stationed in France can’t be tried by the French authorities. It has nothing to do with being brought up on charges in their home country, and definitely doesn’t mean they can do whatever they want.
Explain then why no other presidents ever got charged for any of their many crimes?
Because they’re rich and powerful. The law gives pathetic protections compared to that.
Well nobody should be above the law, so I say if you’re going to try Trump then fine but let’s be fair and try the other presidents too. Enough of the partisan bias.
Gotta be easy to name a crime for each of the last 4 Presidents right?
Of course, that’s elementary.
Please proceed, Sherlock.
I’ve given many examples in this thread
That was someone asking for examples
It’s easy to google for examples if you are really curious. Here I’ll do it right now since like most poors you’re too lazy to do anything for yourself. Ok I just googled president crimes and here you go. https://youtube.com/watch?v=5BXtgq0Nhsc&si=bAB0syFHw1sN6g6q
Noam Chomsky is a great linguist and a really shitty historian/geopolitical advisor.
