The #DOJ opened investigations into Clinton & Biden in those instances, but neither ultimately faced criminal charges. She did not mention the prosecution of #Trump over his mishandling of #ClassifiedDocuments after his first term — a case which was ultimately abandoned when he won a second term.

In this case, #PamBondi seemed to be ruling out any similar investigation to determine all the facts.

Beyond that, the whole “bringing Musk in" is a distraction from the fact that *it shouldn't have been on Signal in the first place*.

Who "fucked up" is irrelevant — they're all de jure culpable.

It's the same gameplay we saw with #Trump's #ClassifiedDocuments. Focus on something that they think can be argued rather than the fundamental crime.

@GreenFire

I paid attention, and complained about #Biden's #virtueSignaling in choosing #Garland ever since. You obviously didn't read reports of how Biden knee-capped Garland, despite link above

#US made a mistake letting #Nixon go. Biden repeated by saying he preferred #unity over #investigation.

Don't even get me started on how they did a #prettyPlease in the #classifiedDocuments case, and once they had an airtight case, went to #Florida instead of #DC, where the crime was committed

…#Trump also named Alabama GOP Sen #TommyTuberville, founder of conservative network Turning Point USA #CharlieKirk, & fmr dpty #NationalSecurity adviser Dina Powell, among others, to the Air Force’s board of visitors.

Trump confirmed MT Sen Tim Sheehy; fmr WH PressSec #SeanSpicer; fmr WH physician Rep #RonnyJackson (R-TX); & Trump’s body man #WaltNauta, who was federally indicted w/Trump in the #ClassifiedDocuments case, will sit on the Naval Academy’s board of visitors.

As he assailed the investigations into him, #Trump also heaped praise on #AileenCannon, the federal judge he appointed in Florida who dismissed the #criminal charges against him for mishandling #ClassifiedDocuments, calling her “the absolute model of what a judge should be.” [not that the 11th circuit repeatedly had to correct her judgments or anything ]

“The case against me was bullshit,” Trump said keeping it classy, standing in the building where the charges were approved.

“As a result of *those actions*, we’re now going to be suspending & putting under review #security clearances for employees at that firm & holding people responsible,” Scharf said.
[doing their jobs]

#Trump quipped that they would call the memo the “deranged Jack Smith signing,” invoking a pejorative he has frequently used to attack the former special counsel.

…#Bongino has repeated #Trump's lie that he won the 2020 election & advanced another #conspiracy that Joe Biden's admin was behind the #FBI search for #ClassifiedDocuments at Trump's Florida home.

"EVERYONE involved in this DOJ/FBI abomination, from the management down to the agents, must be immediately terminated when the tyrants are thrown out of office," he said on X.

[and now this idiot is the FBI dpty dir]

There are also gold vases & statuettes & at least one gold figurine embedded in an elevated wall molding. The figurine was screwed into the wall by #CarlosDeOliveira, the property manager at Mar-a-Lago [& one of #Trump’s #criminal co-conspirators in the #ClassifiedDocuments case], who traveled to Washington to perform the task, the people said.

#EmilBove represented #Trump throughout his #criminal #ElectionInterference case & his #ClassifiedDocuments case & has since ordered retaliatory actions against those who worked on the other side of those cases. #EdMartin represented a defendant in a #Jan6 case, personally attended the Capitol riot on Jan 6 & has expressed support for the #OathKeepers militia group. At Trump’s direction, he has now dismissed all of those cases….

Sergio Gor, the director of the White House's Presidential Personnel Office, announced the dismissal of the #archivist, at #Trump's direction, on X. "We thank Colleen Shogan for her service," Gor said.

Shogan, who was not in office when the #ClassifiedDocuments investigation began, said on LinkedIn that Trump had fired her without citing a reason or cause. "I have zero regrets - I absolutely did my best every day for the National Archives & the American people," she wrote.

In one memo, #PamBondi will establish a “Weaponization Working Group” to review #law enforcement actions enacted under the Biden admin for any examples of “politicized justice.”

That review will cover cases brought by fmr #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith over #Trump’s mishandling of #ClassifiedDocuments & 2020 #ElectionInterference, Manhattan DA #AlvinBragg’s hush-money case that led to a #conviction & a case from NYAG #LetitiaJames, in which she won a $454M civil #fraud judgment against Trump.

#KashPatel tells #CoryBooker that he can’t tell him what he testified before a #GrandJury in the #ClassifiedDocuments case because it’s secret under grand jury rules. Booker (correctly) informs him that as a witness he is not bound to keep what he said secret.

The issue is, after Trump claimed he had declassified all the #NationalSecurity docs (w/his mind) found at MAL, Patel publicly said that was true. There is no evidence of that, & other Trump ofcls said they never heard of such an order.

The documents that #Trump mishandled were full of tightly controlled info that he stored on an insecure ballroom stage & in a spare water closet. Besides, the improper handling of #ClassifiedDocuments was a key line of attack that Trump himself used against Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Moreover, the charges that Trump faced weren’t about taking the documents. They were about his alleged all-out effort to avoid a lawful subpoena & defy federal law-enforcement ofcls.

The indictment describes what must be the stupidest #crimes imaginable, & he totally got away with them.

The temptation might be to write this matter off as a lesser concern, akin to the byzantine case that branded #Trump a felon in NY. Apologists have noted that other officials, including Joe Biden, also mishandled #ClassifiedDocuments. Resist the siren call of these rationalizations.
