[Stann]

As I've said over and over again you are the people with TDS you are as insane as he is. And you're giving way too much credit for what the economy does.

Obama had better results than Trump did. Trump never matched Obama's highest quarters. He inherited a good growing economy and then the pandemic took it all away. That's what I'm trying to tell you presents have very little control over the economy. So that premise for forgiving all his faults is mute. Unconscionable, is the best word to describe him. Not fit to be any kind of leader. Actually very much a coward, as he's proven time and time again.

I give obama zero credit as president

He wanted a one-sided nuclear deal with Iran

And just like biden embraced a stupid climate change policy that was bad for America

We need more energy production in America not less

And trump understands that

All I can say is I thank GOD historians reflect the truth not lies. Obama was one of our greatest presidents. trump on the other hand was one of the worst ever. www.usatoday.com February 10th 2022. Historians ranked Trump near the bottom of the US presidents. A 2 categories out of 10 he ranked the worst, they were very important ones which are still causing him problems to this very day. Moral authority and administrative skills; meaning he lacked them totally.

A leftwing rag such as USATODAY can hand pick historians that will say anything you want

Obama was a terrible president who left America more tacislly divided than when he found it

 

[Riff Raff]

Finally, in the 21st century, America has caught up with the third-world and is politically persecuting deposed leaders.

USA simply publish the findings of the historians ; the historians based their findings on the facts. I know it's difficult for you to deal with facts but living in the physical world is kind of difficult not to deal with them. I don't have to defend Obama, his record stands for itself. You will always have to defend trump. It was unfortunate he was president at all. What a terrible legacy to leave to our nation. His name will go down in infamy.

[The Duke]

The Espionage Act has a specific provision that relates to gross negligence of handling of documents.

The full interview has a lot of interesting insights.

“There's a variety of different possible crimes, but I think the two that are probably worth focusing the most on are 18 USC 2071. This really applies to any federal government employee who, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies or destroys public records, right? Records that are public records. Another potential crime is actually under the Espionage Act, which is 18 USC 793. And that actually has provisions that apply to essentially the mishandling through gross negligence, permitting documents to be removed from their proper place, or to be lost, stolen, or destroyed. There's also conspiracy provisions within that 18 USC 793. But certainly gross negligence could be proved by willfulness, because that would be even beyond gross negligence.”

One other important point she makes is that the FBI would have good reason to believe evidence is still there.

“It's a very overt step for the FBI to actually execute a search warrant that signals to the whole world that they had probable cause — that a federal judge agreed with — to believe that the evidence of a crime would be located in the premises to be searched at the time it was searched. So it couldn't be, "We thought the stuff was there a year ago, but not now." It would have to be probable cause to believe that evidence of a crime exists in that location at that time. And that means that the Department of Justice, probably at the highest levels, probably all the way up to the attorney general, agreed that this was a step that was not only legally supportable, but also important to take.”

FBI warrant for search of Trump home may involve suspected violations of Espionage Act, former chief of DOJ national security says

The former chief of the Justice Department’s national security division said Tuesday that the FBI warrant for the search of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Fla., suggests prosecutors believe they have probable cause that there may have been violations of the World War I-era...

Argument from Authority fallacy. Fail! Next!
"

Appeal to authority​

Definition: Often we add strength to our arguments by referring to respected sources or authorities and explaining their positions on the issues we’re discussing. If, however, we try to get readers to agree with us simply by impressing them with a famous name or by appealing to a supposed authority who really isn’t much of an expert, we commit the fallacy of appeal to authority.


Example: “We should abolish the death penalty. Many respected people, such as actor Guy Handsome, have publicly stated their opposition to it.” While Guy Handsome may be an authority on matters having to do with acting, there’s no particular reason why anyone should be moved by his political opinions—he is probably no more of an authority on the death penalty than the person writing the paper.


Tip: There are two easy ways to avoid committing appeal to authority: First, make sure that the authorities you cite are experts on the subject you’re discussing. Second, rather than just saying “Dr. Authority believes X, so we should believe it, too,” try to explain the reasoning or evidence that the authority used to arrive at his or her opinion. That way, your readers have more to go on than a person’s reputation. It also helps to choose authorities who are perceived as fairly neutral or reasonable, rather than people who will be perceived as biased."
