I had such high hopes for Donald Trump finally seeing real accountability for his consistent disregard for the rule of law. When I learned the facts surrounding the classified documents case, I thought, “This is it! There is NO WAY he’s getting out of this one!” I mean, even if you don’t factor in the probability that he was selling or sharing our secrets with his besties in Russia and China, there are just too many obvious factors here.
Because here in the USA: If you’re rich and powerful, you’re above the law.
He stole the documents. He was asked to return them—he refused. He was subpoenaed to return them—he gave some back, then lied and said he’d returned them all. They have security camera footage and testimony from his valet saying Trump told him to move the documents after he received the subpoena. The National Archives and FBI didn’t believe that he’d returned them all, and they must’ve had compelling evidence supporting that belief because they were able to get a warrant to raid the home of a former U.S. President.
The FBI raids Mar-a-lago and finds dozens of boxes of classified documents, some so confidential they can only be viewed in a highly secure room. The documents totaled more than 100. Also discovered: 48 empty folders missing their contents. That’s 100 documents after he and his lawyer signed a document stating they’d returned all of them! And where are those 48 classified documents missing from the folders? Trump’s team even found classified documents in a storage unit owned by Donald Trump in West Palm Beach, too, so where else might we find more? (My theory is below)
Come on, you can’t tell me that he did nothing wrong. However, on Morning Joe today, a WSJ journalist was on the show discussing the fact that Jack Smith is wrapping up the case and will now determine if he’s going to prosecute, recommend that Merrick Garland do so, or that he doesn’t feel Trump should be prosecuted.
WHY IS THAT EVEN AN OPTION BEING DISCUSSED?! Of course he should be prosecuted! If he’s not, the faith in the fairness of our criminal justice system will be irrevocably destroyed. Not that it isn’t on shaky ground already, but every American citizen knows that if they were the one in Trump’s shoes, not only would they be prosecuted, they would’ve been arrested immediately after it was discovered that they had stolen Classified documents from the United States government.
I’m still in shock that with everything we know about his ties to Putin, there wasn’t an increased effort to put him behind bars where he wouldn’t be able to share any copies of the classified documents or the information he had gleaned from them.
Even at this time we’re learning about the notes taken by a Trump lawyer proving Trump knew he wasn’t supposed to have the classified documents, (no kidding) among other things. Everything we’ve learned, taken into account, seems to make an open and shut case, and we don’t know all of the details that Jack Smith’s team has learned.
At this time, the former president’s lawyers are requesting a meeting with Attorney General Merrick Garland now that the case is wrapping up. Why? To threaten him? Bribe him? Blackmail him? Sorry, that’s just where my mind goes when it comes to the “mob boss” Donald Trump. Nothing else can explain the fear of and allegiance to him that some GOP officials seem to have. I mean, how else do you explain their inability to admit obvious truths or when they do, they take it back and revert to the ass-kissing 24 hours later?
One last thing. I realize this is as close to a conspiracy theory as it gets, but the fact that Trump buried his ex-wife after she was cremated, and he buried her on his golf course in New Jersey, really makes me wonder what might be buried in that coffin with her ashes. If you wonder the same, please say so in the comments so I don’t feel like the Left’s version of “Q.”
