  1. So does Representative Turner think classified documents should be made public?
  2. Details of affidavits and warrants are kept confidential to protect the person being investigated before any charges are laid. Asking for the affidavit to be made public could be a two edged sword. Who knows what is in it and Republicans should be careful what they ask for because they might get something they didn’t want to see.
  3. Could he? Anything classified would still be classified unless he declassified it. In which case everyone will know what he declassified. This is going to get very interesting.
  4. The presidential libraries are administered by NARA, not the presidents. The presidents have no control over the documents in their libraries other than what is allowed by the PRA.
  5. NARA's mandate is to ensure presidential documents are safeguarded according to the Presidential Records Act passed by Congress in 1978. https://www.archives.gov/presidential-libraries/laws/1978-act.html It's the law. You have a problem with the law Binky? https://lawandcrime.com/awkward/national-archives-rebuts-baseless-donald-trump-statements-about-barack-obama-and-classified-documents/ Hard to learn anything with Trump's ass cheeks plugging your ears.
  6. Why do you have a problem with lobbying being public knowledge? It would allow people to know who is influencing their representatives. That would restrict secret speech, not free speech.
  7. He increased debt to GDP by 50% before 2020. US debt to GDP went from 15% in 2020 to 12.1% in 2021. The nonsense about Obama's 30 million documents has already been addressed by NARA. Again. .
  8. Between Trump being elected and the onset of Covid, US debt to GDP increased by 50%. By the time he left office it had increased 380%
  9. Not really. Brit MP's often go against the party line. US representatives cannot be penalized by their party leaders for going against the grain. Party discipline plays a bigger role in Canadian political parties than most democracies.
  10. So what? He is being sued for what he did to the Sandy Hook parents, not what he said about Covid.
  11. https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-obama-million-documents-929954890662
  12. https://www.archives.gov/presidential-libraries/laws/1978-act.html?_ga=2.35104353.1926807549.1644840397-2024663419.1635877428 https://www.archives.gov/publications/prologue/2017/summer/archivist-pra-fra
  13. No amount of wishful thinking will make them anyone's personal property. If so, you will have to concede that all Hillary's emails were her personal property. Make up your mind.
  14. So, when did public and top secret documents become private property? Use your f*****g head.
  15. The law is quite clear on who they belong to. I guess you can now believe those emails were also Hillary's private property.
  16. One more time. These records are not Trumps personal property, they belong to the state and the law says have to be returned to the National Archives. Various agencies had been requesting their return for 18 months. His possession of top secret documents is another matter and I don't pretend to know the consequences. Trump could only declassify documents when he was president and there has to be a record of him doing so. He just can't say he did so retroactively.
  17. This is not his personal property. By law, these records are supposed to be kept in the National Archives. What does that have to do with Jews?
