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.”
Where did the Illegal campaign financing come from?
Man if you look it up, a fucking lot of places. The Libyan guy’s money he stole was only one piece of it.
Dudes a real shitbird.
Why do you think France, under the leadership of Sarkozy, largely led the initial effort against Libya?
This isn’t, as you say, a US led mistake. Also, the treatment of the franco-sphere areas of Africa are extremely horrible. France is not a country you want to be a colony of.
You don’t have to justify the murderous actions of another countries empire.
I don’t think it was a mistake. I think the UN should have occupied Libya after Gaddafi fell.
I definitely agree re French colonies. Maybe the worst thing about colonialism is the total lack of responsibility colonial powers felt after their colony was “liberated,” because it will impact so many more generations than the actual colonialism.
That being said, Gaddafi was a murderous tyrant and I’m glad he’s dead.
Also I doubt very seriously Sarkozy supported that intervention to get that money, since he would have gotten that money without said intervention and also because the money wasn’t tied to the intervention but to oil deals. French imports of Libyan oil have declined precipitously since the intervention

Declined further than domestic production

You keep insulting me as if I’m going to feel bad about knowing more than you. Conspiracy theories aren’t a good look. Real life is complicated.
You don’t know more than me. You think you do because you believe US propaganda, and only US propaganda. You take it at face value and get sanctimonious about people who actually do know more than you.
Cause that would go so well. It went well for Korea, Vietnam, Haiti, Iraq, Afghanistan. I mean hell, name one American occupation that has gone well. The only ones I can think of are Japan and Germany. Both of which notably never really punished the financial elites in those countries for their crimes. But that is a distraction. Can you name me an American Occupation that didn’t result in horrific war crimes, or resulted in a stable government in the last 80 years?
This is why some of the others are calling you a monster.
Also, and I know pre-emptively you’ll ignore this and call it a conspiracy theory, but to be pedantic, Sarkozy didn’t need more money, he already had it. It was to destroy the documentation for the money that he had already received. It was to destroy the evidence.
I’d also love to see your blood thirst be applied evenly, because it isn’t. Frankly, the worst country in the world by basically every metric, we’re perfectly fine with. Specifically Saudi Arabia.
