Donald Trump can hardly claim that he did not know about the Presidential Records Act. He kept banging Hillary Clinton over the head with it — accurately describing it and its penalties — over and over during the 2016 presidential campaign. Hillary’s horrific crime? After tens of thousands of emails were examined, it turned out that THREE of them inadvertently included material that was classified deep in the chain of the email thread. It was deemed innocent and accidental.
Hillary Clinton was not the president.
Donald Trump was president, and now we learn that HE STOLE FIFTEEN BOXES (maybe more, they are still investigating), and it turns out these included CLASSIFIED material, including material that was TOP SECRET and for limited distribution. Of course, this is consistent with his ANTI-AMERICAN PRO-RUSSIAN disregard for national security when HE GAVE CLASSIFIED MATERIAL (that belonged to an ally, not ours) TO THE RUSSIANS IN THE OVAL OFFICE.
But wait, there’s more. We now know that he also tore up documents. He burned documents. White House aides reported that they found documents clogging the toilets that he had tried to flush down the plumbing. And oh yeah, HE EVEN ATE DOCUMENTS. (I hope he got indigestion.)
Trump was not an aide.
Trump was not a cabinet officer.
TRUMP WAS THE PRESIDENT.
He cannot claim he did not know the law that he cited over and over in 2016.
I notice the TrumpubliQans who made so much noise about three mishandled emails from Hillary have suddenly grown mighty silent in the face of massive criminal violations from Trump.
