President Trump’s Justice Department has concluded that a federal law requiring presidential records to be turned over to the government is unconstitutional, a senior White House official tells Axios. Why it matters: The finding is an indication Trump will be reluctant to give all of his official records to the National Archives at the end of his term, as presidents have done for nearly a half-century under the Presidential Records Act of 1978.
How is it unconstitutional? He works for the People. The records aren’t his personally. They belong to the People.
The Whitehouse he vandalized also belongs to the people
He works for the People
You’re assuming the old system is still in place. The position description has now changed to “He rules the people.”
Is the Justice department who determines whether something is unconstitutional?
Bullshit
Supreme Court already decided that the president of the United States has immunity for any and all official acts. There are no laws that apply Trump at the moment. All he has to do is wrap his actions or inactions in some flimsy pretext of it being an official act of the office of the president.
Though I appreciate these cases continuing to slap the Supreme Court justices in the face for their disastrous ruling.
They’re quite literally begging for an uprising.
Are they gonna get one?
Hahaha. I will take the under on that bet all day every day
What if the next president just, doesn’t care, and raids wherever he has these records with the marines?
Seems like something Trump would do and this would absolutely be an official act…
I wouldn’t count on the SC decision, they’ve made it clear their decisions are now heavily partisan.
Heck there may even still be a Republican president, and majority in the house and/or senate next presidency, because of voter suppression, literal direct vote manipulation (cheating/rigging), Elon offering idiot voters million dollar cheques, media capture (lying and brainwashing), voter apathy, an astounding amount of cognitively damaged voters that no longer value right and wrong or can tell truth from fiction… Etcetc.
Trump and his allies broke so many election laws and tried their hardest to cheat in the last two elections and there were essentially no consequences for Trump, only benefits, and few consequences for his allies - many of which have now been pardoned / rewarded… and now his cronies run everything. I don’t see how you guys vote your way out of this tbh.
Still vote of course, but set expectations that they’ll cheat and prepare for a disaster. The last two elections have been bad, but the next election is going to be a goddamn mess.
Shocking. I’m shocked, I tell you.
Well, that will only matter if his DOJ is still there when he gets indicted
Well FreshParsnip says he is. I also demand he buy each American a meal
