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.”
Clinton blowing up the only pharmaceutical plant in the Sudan wasn’t illegal? What about Bush making up lies to invade a sovereign country and kill a million people?
Do you have anything, anything at all that is
1: domestic
2: actually illegal and not just a thing you don’t like
Are you not tired of me constantly proving you wrong, with citations?
Are you not tired of excusing war crimes? How is a crime comitted domestically worse than murdering and raping abroad?
Well for one, given the things you’ve brought up, they’d be actual crimes and not just “things I don’t like that I lay at a given President’s feet because I don’t understand how the world works.”
Actual crimes, like the 91 felonies Trump committed and admitted to.
Is Putin invading Ukraine a crime?
I doubt it pretty sincerely. But his methods of war constitute war crimes, currently. More to the point, it’s antagonistic to US interests so I hope we scale up to bombing there, or at least enforcing a no-fly zone.
I’d love to call Putin’s bluff.
Every American president since WW2 is guilty of war crimes. I hope that president Xi launches nukes at Washington DC and calls their bluff.
President Xi would never bomb China’s single largest trading partner during a time of extreme instability within the Chinese economy. He’s a monster, not an idiot. Even Putin isn’t that dumb, and he just started a land war in Asia (a classic blunder).
The US would most assuredly defeat China in any prolonged war. Even just imposing economic sanctions, probably worldwide given it would be an actual of unprovoked and extreme aggression, would cause China to collapse even if no nukes were actually exchanged.
No one is going to nuke anyone because of MAD, enforced worldwide. The danger of nukes is in rogue actors or rogue states acquiring them.
Just FYI youre talking to a 1 day old troll account who has apparently literally nothing better to do with their life but sit on lemmy and defend Trump
