Over 7 Hours Of Missing Trump Phone Records Makes Nixon Tapes Look like Nothing

[Lastamender]

Actually it's worse than watergate. Instead of being a case where the president realized the tapes were incriminating, and deleted 18 minutes. Trump knew the phone calls were incriminating from the start, and violated the PRA while using unauthorized communications.

This is fake news and you are still pushing it. Why?

 

[Lastamender]

It means Trump didn't listen to his own advisors.

Is he the first president to do that?

 

[meaner gene]

Now that I think of it, Trumps use of unauthorized communications to avoid the Presidential Records Act, shows both mens rea, and malice aforethought.

It's no different than a cop turning off his body cam when making an arrest.

Not fake news. You're like Wille E. Coyote avoiding the Semi-Tractor by running off the highway, only to realize he just ran off a cliff.

He was the first president to do so, after claiming he only hired the best people.

I see, you believe Trump when it is convenient. Hack.

Yet Another Anti-Trump Media Hoax Falls Apart In Two Days

The media claimed that they had Trump dead to rights on 7 hours of missing phone calls. They tried to compare it to the missing Nixon tapes. Well that all blew up in their faces in 48 hrs. But for a couple of days they were jumping for joy and lying to each other about a yet another hoax...

Good point. The records weren't deleted, they weren't created/logged as required by the Presidential Records Act of 1978.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

Laws were broken.

That applies to the White house Phone Exchange, an archaic system that doesn't involve things like secured cell phones.

According to the act, all calls on the exchange were logged.

They didn't obstruct justice by deleting the records, they obstructed justice by violating the PRA by failing to record those records.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

I'm still waiting for cheaper healthcare, and Mexico to send a check to cover the wall.

Read the presidential records of act 1978, it also covers the diarist, and it specifically covers presidential phone calls, and phone calls on behalf of the president by his staff.

No big deal at all. Tell the truth.

Which are probably in other logs, which wasn't the information progs were getting stiffies over.

You won't get either from the Democrats.

It's fascinating watching republicans high five each other, because Trump jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Instead of deleting the records, Trump avoided their creation in violation of the PRA, through purposeful actions, creating the mens rea needed to make someone criminally responsible, for what without it would have been a lawful act.

It just means like a shell game, there were three shells, and they picked the wrong one. Except they now get to look under the other two shells.

Too bad you can prove none of that.

Actually that's the defense that the Trump white house is putting forward.
