Donald Trump in #NewJersey about to make remarks following his appearance in #Florida earlier today in a federal courtroom where his lawyers told the judge he was entering not guilty pleas to the numerous serious criminal charges.
"Today we witnessed the most evil and heinous abuse of power in the history of our country," according to former President Trump, adding it's an attempt to rig and steal another presidential election. "This day will go down in infamy."
He "had a absolute declassification authority as president," says Trump unlike Biden who took documents following his time as vice president. Trump then turns to comments about Hillary Clinton and her server.
Crowd now sings "Happy Birthday" to Trump in the middle of his remarks.
"Nice birthday. Wonderful birthday," responds Trump who turns 77 on Wednesday. "We're going to make it into the greatest birthday of all."
"Bill Clinton lost the nuclear codes and nothing was done about it," Trump continues with his grievances and alleged lawbreaking by former and current presidents and Hillary Clinton.
@w7voa Can. We. Just. Stop. Reporting. Every absurdity this ... person utters??? I had hoped that at least Mastodon would be free from this insanity but some "journalists" just don't get it. :-(
@w7voa so the Republican’s position is HRC and Pres. Biden should be prosecuted for their handling of classified docs but not DJT. Consistency is not Rs strong suit.
@w7voa with all due respect, you know that this is nonsense and you know that it’s nonsense we’ve all heard a million times over the past 6 months. I don’t know what value you see in amplifying it without fact checking.
@w7voa Gee, does that include those documents he showed visitors while admitting he could get in trouble for doing so because they were classified, and he couldn’t declassify them as an ex-POTUS?
@w7voa Trump will always be a liar and a scammer.
"... Trump could not have declassified this document even while president—at least not directly.", "By statute, documents are classified under the Atomic Energy Act if the Department of Energy and Department of Defense agree that the document (or category) falls within the categories laid out in the Atomic Energy Act.", https://www.lawfareblog.com/what-are-classified-documents-trump-indictment
@w7voa "... the Espionage Act hinges not on whether a mishandled document is classified but whether it constitutes “national defense information” (or “NDI”)—a term that courts have defined broadly to mean all manner of closely held national security information, classified or not.", https://www.lawfareblog.com/united-states-america-v-donald-j-trump-and-waltine-nauta
@w7voa Little known fact: Hillary, too, kept her email server in a public bathroom where foreign agents could sort through MBs of top secret data while they took a dump.
@w7voa Why do you keep giving this twice impeached, convicted sexual assaulter and defamer, 71-felony count indicted traitor any air time? STOP COVERING HIM. NOW.
@w7voa "Negotiating." Someone needs to tell #DumbDonnie that saying "Nanny nanny booboo!" to a lawful request from a government agency specifically tasked with managing those documents isn't "negotiating."
