Trump to White House staff: “Quick, destroy the documents and then pretend we heard the ruling too late. It worked with the East Wing, so it should work here.”

I am so tired of Trump. Never accountable for anything. It is getting really old

They’re shredding the judge’s emergency order as we speak.

Thank fuck. The long arms of the law are about to catch up to him <bursts out laughing hysterically>

Yeah, like that will fucking stop him.

I can’t wait for a forensic check later to reveal millions of Signal messages and other correspondence that obviously and clearly violate the PRA. And I’m sure we’ll all still get the both sidesism relative to Hunter Biden’s laptop and Joe Biden’s garage. Because of course.

Or else what?

That judge ain’t getting any of that $2bn slush fund, huh?

Presidential records don’t belong to the president they belong to history and the public.
The fact a judge had to step in and remind the White House that official records can’t just disappear is a story in itself.

In reality what is going to happen if they destroy records anyway?

Moron will destroy them while appealing

So what, he doesn’t give a shit about court rulings.
SamSLS on
And he’ll destroy them anyway

And how is the judge going to stop them? Is there a magical force field around these records until an injunction is filed to remove the indestructible barrier?

He’ll destroy them anyway. You think law applies to him?

I got news for them, the records are already gone.

It’s fucking abhorrent that Jack Smith never got his day in court and just a abhorrent that this country elected someone who couldn’t make it more obvious he’s a criminal
There shouldn’t be a neednfornthis ruling and there shouldn’t be a given that Republicans will just ignore it while pretending to care about law and order

Don’t worry I’m sure Roberts is firing up the shadow docket as we speak.

“Trump doesn’t plan to keep any documents at his proposed presidential library, instead planning to make the Miami skyscraper more like a hotel as he doesn’t ‘believe in building libraries or museums.'”
Not surprised but what a strange, dumb stance to take.

Cool. And when he does it anyway?

This is ALREADY law. In fact there are two! One in 1950 for government records and another in 1978 for Presidential records because of Nixon. There shouldn’t have to be some additional order from a judge FFS!!!

If the punishment for destroying records is at all lighter than the punishment for us knowing the truth, he will absolutely be destroying those records anyway.
