Thanks. That was extremely helpful. I had been baffled by repeated references to Clinton's sock drawer and what possible relevance it could have to Trump's theft of classified papers. Fortunately Jack Smith sidestepped such nonsense by indicting Trump on grounds of national security.

Since posting this note I have read the relevant parts of the presidential records act, and I am baffled by the court's response to Judicial Watch, regarding the Clinton tapes. Why did they imply that it was up to Clinton to determine whether his tapes were personal or official? The PRA defines its terms, and Clinton's opinion in the matter appears to me to be irrelevant. But thanks to that decision, Trump seems to think it's up to him to decide what is official and what is not.

Thank you for processing this fiasco for us. I've had an easier time explaining this to my coworkers because of your hard work. I've been reading on Nixon lately and Trump is trying to make Nixon look like a straight arrow.

At least Nixon denounced extremism publicly and had the ultimate sense to move along. 😂

Has Trump ever said why he wants the documents. Is there evidence of intent to something with them?

When one simply can’t justify or defend his deeds, he must rely upon feeble & made up excuses! Trump has, using his own words, condemned himself! Thugs tend to do that. Unfortunately, his cult fall for his antics! They live in the MAGA Bubble!

I am about to listen watch your June 14 podcast. It’s June 16 now. Quick question. It’s reported now that a DOJ letter to jim Jordan denying his request for sensitive information that the Special Counsel Jack Smith office has employed about 26 special agents looking into the current investigation on trump willfully retaining government documents. Does the number 26 reflect anything like “large” or “small” number of Special Age ts? Also, the term “Special Agent”? What is the order in the FBI, agent, then Special Agent? Thank you. Thank you. Thank you Asha. I greatly appreciate your work and your mind. Respectfully, Jeff

How did America elect such a complete moron? Today’s rant...

“AFTER GOING THROUGH A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION FOR TWO YEARS BY THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NEW YORK, IT WAS JUST ANNOUNCED THAT THE CASE HAS BEEN DROPPED, AND NO CHARGES WILL BE FILED. THIS WAS THE HONORABLE THING TO DO IN THAT I DID NOTHING WRONG, BUT WHERE AND WHEN DO I GET MY REPUTATION BACK? WHEN WILL THE OTHER FAKE CASES AGAINST ME BE DROPPED? ELECTION INTERFERENCE!!!”

The indictment NEVER mentions " Presidential Records Act" .. Yet that is all you hear in his lies.

He was out of his league with this one. Obstruction. I bet he does it again.
