Donald Trump on Monday night claimed new audio of him discussing and showing off a classified document about potential military action in Iran 'exonerated' him, adding that the special counsel was 'deranged'. CNN released Monday evening the two-minute recording of the former president's 2021 meeting in Bedminster, New Jersey, where he talked about the documents he did not declassify before leaving office but took with him anyway. The conversation has become crucial in special counsel Jack Smith's indictment of Trump.

How many times has Trump been burned by blabbing to a writer working on a book? I’ve lost count. Trump should have known that every move he makes will be used against him. Yammering about and waving around a top secret document that he didn’t declassify is an unforced error. I doubt that Trump had the actual document in his hand during the interview. I wonder whether the document even exists. Trump’s judgment is, as always, something I worry about. I long for the Trump of 2015/2016 who campaigned so spectacularly for the American people. I’m not so keen on Trump 2023 who spends all his time litigating the past and trying to spin the problems he has brought upon himself.

Plenary Power - Complete power over a particular area with no limitations. This term is often used to describe the Commerce Power of Congress. This is the power in the matter of classified item. Not just documents. Plenary Power is absolute. It cannot be diminished, or circumscribed by act of congress, or judicial edict. Nor by any middle level bureaucrat in the basement of the National Archive. Plenary Power - invested in a single man. The equal to the entire congress, and to the supreme court combined. Like it or not, that's the system... If you want to change it, you have to change the constitution.

Re #2 PDT brought these "problems, as you put it, upon himself by running for president in 2016. Everything negative about him has been manufactured by the Left, spread by their willing slaves in the MSM, weaponized by a hostile-to-We-The-People DOJ, and all the other left appointed judges, IRS employees, FBI employees, all the authoritarians who believe that We The People aren't smart enough to have the power to vote. Its PDT vs The Swamp, and if nothing else, we should be GLAD that it took someone like PDT to make the Swamp expose themselves for the power-mad commissar wanna-be's they are.

If it takes blabbing, yammering, and fight, keep it coming. The media's certainly not going to carry water for PDJT. Four years of promises made, promises kept; to be repeated is what gives the left the willies and why they LIE.

Let's stop with the histrionics. There's nothing damning about the audio that someone leaked to CNN. There's no mention of what specific classified documents in the audio that Trump is allegedly talking about. The audio itself is inadmissible as evidence because of the reason cited above. Jack Smith (actually Weissman) knows this. This is just a standard tactic of Lawfare; not to advance their criminal case but to sway public opinion. It's very doubtful this particular criminal complaint will even go to trial. The PRA is the fatal flaw in the prosecution's case.

DM is hateful of Trump and willfully ignorant of the fact that any President can use, disclose, destroy, or otherwise to anything whatsoever that he chooses with ANY document regardless of markings put on by lower officials. He is the penultimate authority, and no opinions of any other person have any impact whatsoever on his authority. ANY document that he chooses to retain or disclose to anyone is perfectly within his authority. Drop dead you ignorant Brits.

I agree that the document case against Trump is garbage since the president is the sole office holder who does have the constitutional authority to classify/declassify documents at will. Jack Smith will fail in his attempt to imprison Trump. The real purpose of this persecution is to drive down Trump’s numbers with the independents. So far that is working and Trump is doing nothing to turn that around. If Biden wins in 2024 I won’t derive consolation knowing that the legal cases against Trump had no merit.

Trump also talked about the other papers, clothes, and items in boxes that were packed for him. In many cases, he was going through the boxes to find out what was in them only to find government documents mixed in with his personal belongings. Government Services packed his boxes, not Trump. The archives refused to assist with transition services. All of this is always conveniently left out of media reporting. For all we know, Trump was waving around old newspaper clippings. This was an audio recording, not video so it shows no law being broken. Just an ex president discussing classified documents packed by government workers mixed with his personal things.

President Joe Biden began using a CPAP machine "in recent weeks" to treat the sleep apnea he has suffered from since at least 2008, ABC News reported Wednesday.

My home state of California is Bizzarroland, totally over the edge. It was bad enough, but now it has crossed the Rubicon and blown up the bridge and burned the boats. The Golden State is set to take away parental rights and create a police state where a court and judge must (not may) affirm a child’s chosen made-up gender “identity.” But that same California requires permission for a minor to get a tattoo. Make sense of it. I can’t.

What if you held an election and less than 200,000 registered voters showed up? Based on preliminary ballot counts by the New York City Board of Elections, that’s what happened in Tuesday’s primary election Because of state redistricting in 2022, NYC Council elections were held two years earlier than usual with no hotly contested citywide, state or federal races on the ballot to draw voters to the polls, political analysts said. Of all five boroughs, Bronx voters, in particular, couldn’t be bothered.

For every day and every scandal of his presidency, President Biden could count on unflinching, irrevocable support from the Washington Post and its devoted readers. That ended Tuesday. Traffic on one of America’s busiest roads in the Washington area screeched to a halt for hours during the evening rush hour. Biden was heading out to hit up rich Democrats for hefty campaign contributions at a fundraiser in ritzy Chevy Chase, Md., and Team Biden shut down the Beltway so Biden’s motorcade could travel unseen and unimpeded by any peasants. The shutdown caused more than five miles of backups and sowed disruptions for hours after it ended.

Former IRS supervisory agent Gary Shapley told CBS News on Tuesday that he was repeatedly prevented from taking the necessary – and routine – steps when it came to Hunter's case. He said conduct uncovered during the five-year investigation could have implicated President Joe Biden, as well, and resulted in additional charges – and claimed the road blocks were happening even during the Trump years.

Washington — Systemic negligence, misconduct, and overall under-resourcing among federal prison staff and facilities contributed to the conditions that enabled financier Jeffrey Epstein to die by suicide in his prison cell, the Justice Department's inspector general concluded in a report released Tuesday. The 66-year-old financier was found dead in his New York prison cell in 2019 a little over a month after federal authorities took him into custody for the alleged sex trafficking of minors. He was accused of exploiting and abusing dozens of underage girls and utilizing a network of employees to ensure continued access to victims, according to

Washington— More than $200 billion may have been stolen from two large COVID-19 relief initiatives, according to new estimates from a federal watchdog investigating federally funded programs that helped small businesses survive the worst public health crisis in more than a hundred years. The numbers issued Tuesday by the U.S. Small Business Administration inspector general are much greater than the office’s previous projections and underscore how vulnerable the Paycheck Protection and COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan programs were to fraudsters, particularly during the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic. The inspector general’s report said “at least 17 percent of all COVID-EIDL and PPP funds were disbursed to potentially fraudulent actors.”
