Trump and the Presidential Records Act...correct me if I'm wrong.

[Septua]

For the past several days, the same clip of Trump saying in one breath, he had the right to take the documents with him on leaving the White House and in the second breath, quoting the Presidential Records Act, without detailing what part of the Presidential Records Act gives him that right...

I'm pretty sure the Presidential Records Act was created to preclude narcissistic, histrionic assholes like Trump taking documents home.

https://www.archives.gov/presidential-libraries/laws/1978-act.html#:~:text=The%20PRA%20changed%20the%20legal,the%20records%20of%20their%20Administrations.Establishes that

Establishes that Presidential records automatically transfer into the legal custody of the Archivist as soon as the President leaves office.

1. he thinks he can get the nixon deal. pra was to preclude anyone pulling a nixon.

the him, the act said- we pay dick $18m, or whatever he got.

2. He thinks if he says it enough times it will be true and the DOJ will say, "Well, alrighty then."

Just like he thinks he can declassify records just by thinking it.

In other words, he thinks he's fooling someone but the only ones he fools are the fools who are his cult members.

5. We are way beyond violations of PRA. He's gone into violating the Espionage Act.

9. I think the Grand Jury is about finished on the documents case

It was interesting that the GA investigation seems to be adding new areas of investigation.

7. He never tells the truth

Lying without compunction is in his DNA. Time to open Ivana's coffin to see what he stashed there.

11. If He REALLY Believed He Was Innocent........

..........why did he immediately MOVE the boxes to a different location within hours (probably minutes) of receiving the phone call that they wanted them back? And why did his story CHANGE three times? Remember, first it was, "I don't have them," then it became, "They were planted by the FBI," then it became, "Well, yeah, I had them, but I'm allowed to have them," and then it became, "I had them, but I declassified them with my mind." Innocent people don't change their stories three times.
