Eh, I could see it being intentional or accidental, hard to say. There’s got to be an interagency messaging system which preserves records though. If the reporting is accurate then this is no different than the HRC private email server.

The blunder is the president is a criminal and the entire Republican Party is enabling him to be a criminal and it’s not a blunder… it is fundamentally who these people are. Jfc we’re doing a speed run to a dictatorship.
It would be fun if the 4th estate took this seriously and had a tracker on every paper as what full capture of every gov organization looked like and how we rapidly are losing any semblance of a democracy.
As noted by others… given that most of the 4th estate is entirely owned by billionaires, the odds of this are exactly zero.

I think Comey’s lawyers need to request Trump’s truth Dms to Bondi. If it is being used for government business like instructing the AD how to handle cases it’s a matter of public record, also illegal in and of itself. Using a private server to skirt transparency and record keeping laws was something the right used to be really upset about.

I will maintain the reason Trump is so good at derailing political democratic structures is that he is not trying to do any of that in a sophist manner.
It’s just his personal narcissistic defense mechanism being applied to a country.

Because he needs to believe he’s amazing. So anything that would shine truth at him needs to be dismantled
He’s not trying. It’s perfectly natural to him.

Well, let me explain. If only the Hollywood writers hadn’t gone on strike in 2008, then Hollywood wouldn’t have needed reality shows to fill the gap in original programming. Then we might never have gotten The Apprentice, and millions of educationally-challenged and critically thinking impaired people would not have been duped into considering him to be a smart savvy business man. And in turn, he wouldnt have gotten the infusion of cash he used to enter politics. But here we are, in the shittiest timeline.

**”The Pinocchio Act” – A Proposal for Legislation**
**To:** ALL Public Representatives & Officials
**From:** Concerned American voters
**A Proposal to Introduce “The Pinocchio Act” in the House of Representatives**
**Purpose:** This bill seeks to uphold truth, integrity, and accountability among all individuals serving in public positions—whether elected, appointed, hired, or volunteering—by making it unlawful and punishable for such individuals to willfully and deliberately lie, deceive, misrepresent, or bear false witness to the American people.
**Moral Foundation:** The act of lying has been condemned throughout history, both morally and spiritually. Within the Ten Commandments, the prohibition against “bearing false witness” stands as a timeless moral pillar, one that has deeply influenced the laws and values of our nation. In the Christian faith, lying is regarded not merely as a mistake, but as a mortal sin—a corruption of trust that erodes relationships, communities, and governance itself. When a public servant lies, the injury is compounded, because the trust of the people is betrayed. Trust is the cornerstone of democratic government, and once broken, it undermines the very legitimacy of our institutions. This bill, grounded in both the enduring moral wisdom of the Ten Commandments and the fundamental American principle of honesty in public life, will make truth-telling a clear legal requirement for those entrusted with public authority.
**Provisions of the Bill**
* **Scope of Applicability:** Applies to all public employees, federal and state, including elected officials, appointed officials, hired staff, and volunteers.
* **Unlawful Acts:** It shall be unlawful for any covered individual to willfully and deliberately: (1) Lie to the public. (2) Misrepresent facts. (3) Deceive through omission or distortion. (4) Bear false witness against any individual or entity while acting in their public capacity.
* **Penalties:** First Offense → Misdemeanor charge, fine of not less than $10,000, and mandatory public correction of the falsehood. Blatant and Easily Debunked Lies → Immediate removal from office or employment, fine of not less than $50,000. Repeat Offenders → Escalation to felony charge, fines up to $250,000, permanent disqualification from public service, and potential prison sentence of up to 2 years.
* **Enforcement Mechanism:** Oversight body or inspector general designated at both federal and state levels. Public reporting system for false statements, with expedited review for cases of blatant or obvious falsehoods.
**Justification**
* *Moral:* Lies corrupt the soul of a nation. As Scripture warns, “lying lips are an abomination to the Lord” (Proverbs 12:22). Public servants must be held to the highest moral standard.
* *Civic:* A democracy cannot function when its people cannot trust their leaders. Truth is essential to informed consent of the governed.
* *Practical:* In an age of instant communication, falsehoods spread rapidly and cause great harm. Strong deterrents are necessary to protect the public from deliberate misinformation.
**Conclusion:** The Pinocchio Act would reaffirm the moral and civic necessity of truth in public service. By holding public servants accountable to the timeless commandment against lying, Congress can restore faith in government, strengthen democracy, and protect the American people from willful deception.
*I respectfully urge you to sponsor and introduce this legislation in the House of Representatives.*
Signed, Americans

DEFINITIONS.** (1) “Public employee” means any individual serving at the federal, state, or local level, including elected officials, appointed officials, employees, contractors, and volunteers acting in an official capacity.

(3) “Blatant falsehood” means a statement that is demonstrably false, easily verifiable, and made without reasonable basis.
**SEC. 4. PROHIBITION ON FALSE STATEMENTS.** It shall be unlawful for any public employee to: (1) knowingly and deliberately make a false statement to the public in the course of official duties; (2) misrepresent, distort, or omit material facts with the intent to deceive; or (3) bear false witness in an official capacity against any individual or entity.
**SEC. 5. PENALTIES.** (1) First offense → misdemeanor, fine of not less than $10,000, and public correction within 30 days. (2) Blatant or easily debunked lies → immediate removal from office or employment and fine of not less than $50,000.
