Trump urged to return docs nearly a year before search, FBI filing says

1. We knew this. NARA and DoJ bent over backwards trying to get him to return the documents. They knew documents were still missing and his lawyers attested at least once, if not twice, that no more material was at Mar-a-Lago.

   Then you find our biggest secrets in an unsecured bathroom and Trump bragging about how it’s classified and he’s not supposed to have it because he didn’t declassify it.

   He has no one to blame but himself.

2. The problem with this case is that this will not go to trial before the election because of the immunity delays. As such making sure he doesn’t win is essential to the delivery of justice.

3. No shit. We all know his narrative about holding/hiding documents and how it’s his right is a lie.

4. Trump does not engage in a criminal conspiracy purely for its own sake. The retention of those boxes mattered to him because he understood the market value of what they contained.

5. It was headline news that entire year. Every time a government department (and then the courts) ordered him to return the documents he always said “No!”

   He had then hid the documents AFTER he was caught lying claiming that he had turned over ALL the documents.

   He obstructed justice. We all watched it live. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!

6. They have been treating him special since the beginning.

7. Yes yes, we knew this. Anyone have any recommendations for reddit pages to discuss political decisions and actions? The civil war in Mynamar and our political response has gone completely unreported. The decision to withdraw from Niger several months after a military coup, despite the fact that our laws state we cannot provide materiel or material support to any nation which has undergone a coup, has gone entirely undebated or discussed here. Trumo bad. Got it. It’s being handled. The lack of intelligent discourse over real world political events influenced by our current administration is concerning. There is no longer a watch dog of the government either in public or private. Tribalism has ruined critical thinking. 

8. They need to lock him up before he dies of old age. He needs to be put behind bars!

9. What a scumbag… how did such a lowlife ever elected as a leader of the greatest country on earth? Something is really wrong here… smh

10. THAT’S why he’s in the hottest water. If he’d have just returned them when they asked, little or nothing would have happened. This is ALL his doing or not doing, I guess.

11. It’s insane how big and many layers of silk gloves have been on when handling Trump and yet his fascist cult shouts how he is basicaly heading for a politicaly motivated execution. While accusing Biden with false charges of stuff Trump has commited many times in a large scale ontop of r*pe, trying to violently coup the democracy.

12. Are they allowed to use TV interviews where Trump brags about his errors as evidence?
